Photorejuvenation

What is Photorejuvenation?
Photorejuvenation treatments use intense pulsed light to effectively treat facial redness, flushing, Rosacea, small facial veins, acne; as well as, the visible signs of sun damage and aging. This non-laser treatment utilizes the power of pulsed light, using specific settings that are selected by your clinician, to greatly improve your skin’s condition with minimal risk, discomfort and virtually no down time.

What areas can be treated?
Photorejuvenation treatments are especially effective on the face, neck, chest, shoulders, arms, and the back of hands.

What will the treatment do?
By selecting the appropriate setting for the condition to be treated, the results will be a smoother, more vibrant and more youthful looking appearance.

How many treatments will I need?
A series of 2 or more treatments will be performed at a three to four–week interval. Additional treatments may be needed depending on the severity of your condition.

What can I expect during and after the treatment?
You will use safety glasses to protect your eyes. You may experience a mild amount of discomfort, such as a rubber band snap or a warm feeling as the light is absorbed into the treated area. Each treatment takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area to be treated and the type of the procedure performed. Your skin may appear red and flushed and tiny capillaries may appear more visible immediately following treatment. Brown spots will turn darker and eventually fade and fall off.

How long will it take to recover?
Since this is a non-invasive procedure has virtually no down-time, in most cases, you will be able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities right away.

What results can I expect?
You can expect to see a gradual decrease in redness, flushing and dilated capillaries. Your skin will feel smoother, fine wrinkles and pores will be less noticeable, and age/or sun spots will fade.

It is important that you follow your after care instructions and since you will be sensitive to ultra-violet light, be sure to avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. And, as we always recommend, be sure to use a good sunscreen every time you go out.
