It is a technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin, reduce fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth, treat wrinkles caused by sun damage and aging, improve the appearance of mild scars and treat certain types of acne, and reduce age spots, freckles, and dark patches (melasma) due to pregnancy or taking birth control pills.
