When it comes to redness, rosacea, visible vessels and pigmentation, there is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. At EPICELL, we often see patients with several concerns occurring together — diffuse redness, visible capillaries, flushing, pigmentation and uneven skin tone. This is where a combination approach using Excel V+ and Laser Genesis may be considered. Excel V+ — Targeting Pigment & Vascular Concerns Excel V+ is a dual-wavelength laser designed to target specific vas

CO₂ laser treatments can create meaningful changes in the skin, but the results develop through a healing and regeneration process. Understanding what to expect afterwards can make the recovery period much more comfortable and reassuring. One of the most common questions we receive at EPICELL is: “How long will my skin stay red after CO₂ laser?” The answer depends on the depth and intensity of your treatment, your skin type and your individual healing response. Why Does Skin

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I look tired”, even when you've had a good night's sleep? You may have healthy skin, a good skincare routine and very few wrinkles, yet still feel that your face — particularly around the eyes — looks tired, heavy or less refreshed than it used to. The reason may not be your skin. As we age, changes occur in the skin, collagen, facial volume and the tissues surrounding the eyes. These changes can alter the way light and shadow

Ageing is something every skin experiences, but facial ageing is much more complex than simply developing wrinkles. As we age, changes occur throughout the skin and the underlying structures of the face. Collagen and elastin gradually change, the skin can become thinner and less resilient, facial volume can shift or decrease, and changes occur within the deeper tissues that support the face. Environmental factors, particularly cumulative UV exposure, can accelerate some of th

You may have noticed that your skin looks calmer after treatment, only for the redness to gradually return. This can be frustrating, particularly when you have invested time and money into improving your skin. The reason is that facial redness is often influenced by more than one factor. Some redness is associated with visible blood vessels, while other redness can be related to inflammation, rosacea, acne, sensitivity or environmental triggers. Understanding what is contribu

If you have red cheeks, a red nose or small visible blood vessels across your face, you may have wondered whether you have rosacea or simply broken capillaries. The two can look similar, and in some people they can occur together. Understanding the difference can help determine the most appropriate approach to managing your skin. At Epicell Skin Clinic in Pascoe Vale, Melbourne, we assess the skin carefully to determine whether redness appears to be associated with visible bl

If your face frequently looks red, flushed or irritated, you may be wondering why it happens and whether it is simply sensitive skin or something that should be assessed. Facial redness is common and can have many different causes. For some people, redness comes and goes. For others, it becomes more persistent and may be associated with visible blood vessels, inflammation, rosacea, acne or sensitivity. At Epicell Skin Clinic in Pascoe Vale, Melbourne, we assess the skin caref

You've treated your pigmentation, your skin looks clearer, and then months later you notice those darker patches starting to appear again. Why does pigmentation come back? The answer is that pigmentation is often more than a surface problem. While a treatment may reduce the visible pigment, the factors that caused it can still be present. This is particularly relevant for conditions such as melasma, which can be persistent and prone to recurrence. At Epicell Skin Clinic in Pa

Your acne has finally settled, but you're still left with brown or darker marks where the breakouts were. If this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing post-inflammatory pigmentation after acne, also known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH. It is a common concern we see in clinic, and one of the most frustrating parts of having acne because the inflammation may have disappeared while the pigmentation remains. At Epicell Skin Clinic in Pascoe Vale, Melbourne, we

If you have noticed brown or darker patches appearing on your face, you may have wondered: “Is this pigmentation or melasma?” Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. Pigmentation is a broad term used to describe areas of skin that appear darker than the surrounding skin. Melasma is a specific chronic pigmentary condition that can have different triggers and requires a more considered approach to treatment. At Epicell Skin Clinic in

Skin ageing is not only about lines. It is also about texture, tone, firmness, hydration, volume changes, and how well the skin repairs itself over time. That is why a modern cosmetic medicine plan should do more than chase a single wrinkle. At Epicell, the focus is on supporting skin health through evidence-informed treatments, careful assessment, and natural-looking results. Biostimulants, bioremodelling treatments, wrinkle-relaxing injections, skin boosters, and device-bas

Broken capillaries, ook wel spider veins genoemd, zijn kleine zichtbare bloedvaatjes die vooral voorkomen op wangen, neus en kin. Ze ontstaan door factoren zoals genetische aanleg, zonbeschadiging, temperatuurschommelingen, alcoholgebruik, rosacea en huidveroudering. Hoewel ze onschuldig zijn, verdwijnen ze niet vanzelf en kunnen ze steeds zichtbaarder worden.

Acne is een van de meest voorkomende en hardnekkige huidproblemen, maar met de juiste aanpak is het goed te behandelen. Effectieve acnebehandeling begint bij een consistente basisroutine met milde reinigers en actieve ingrediënten zoals salicylzuur, benzoylperoxide en retinoïden. Deze helpen poriën schoon te houden, ontstekingen te verminderen en nieuwe uitbraken te voorkomen. Wanneer thuisverzorging niet voldoende resultaat geeft, bieden klinische acne-oplossingen uitkomst.
