Mela Derm works from Fairgreen in Portlaoise, offering microneedling, chemical peels, laser hair removal and IPL skin rejuvenation. That combination covers most of the ground for pigmentation and texture concerns — microneedling and peels work on the surface and just below, IPL targets pigment. Fairgreen is on the edge of the town centre with parking, and Portlaoise’s position on the rail line makes it reachable from Dublin without a car.
