Rejuvenating Your Skin
Photo Rejuvenation is a cosmetic treatment designed to produce younger and healthier looking skin.
As most of us age, we begin to see visible signs of sun damage. Time and lifestyle
choices also affect the appearance in our complexion. This aged look may include
freckles, Rosacea, wrinkles, broken capillaries, dark spots, blotchy skin color,
redness of the face and neck, enlarged pore size and uneven pigmentation. Photo
Rejuvenation is the only procedure that can treat vascular redness, the appearance
of Rosacea, pigmented brown spots, sun damage, skin texture, and collagen structure
all at once. With the use of BBL therapy, an advanced version of Intense Pulsed
Light (IPL⁜) technology, dramatic improvements can now be accomplished with little
or no "downtime" and with very minimal discomfort.
Photo Rejuvenation treatments are beneficial for the treatment of:
Rosacea Photo Rejuvenation reduces the overall redness, flushing and tiny blood
vessels associated with the condition and often improves the acne breakouts which
are common.
Sun damage to the face (photo-aging) Photo Rejuvenation reduces freckling and
irregular pigmentation and creates a more smooth appearance to the skin and even
some reduction in pore appearance.
Sun damage to the chest and back (photo-aging) Photo Rejuvenation reduces the
freckling and irregular pigmentation to the chest and/or back and improves the
overall appearance of the skin. Also reduces the redness on the chest associated
with excessive sun exposure.
Sun damage to the hands and arms (photo-aging, also called "liver spots") Photo
Rejuvenation reduces the freckling and irregular pigmentation to the hands and
even the arms with improvement in the thin-skin appearance of sun damaged hands.
What results can I expect?
You can expect to see a gradual decrease in overall redness, flushing and dilated
capillaries. People with visible aging from the sun can expect to see their skin
become smoother with a reduction in pore size and fading of sun spots. Many patients
with rosacea see improvement in breakouts and are able to decrease or discontinue
their medications.
What is involved in Photo Rejuvenation treatments?
Each treatment takes approximately 15-30 minutes. A mild amount of discomfort
can be expected. Individuals with more sensitivity may prefer to use a topical
anesthetic cream which is applied 30-60 minutes prior to treatment. Immediately
following a treatment, the skin may appear more red and flushed and the brown
spots generally appear slightly darker. Over the next several days, the brown
spots darken and then subsequently "flake off" over
the next several days.
When will I see results?
Even after your first treatment, your skin can feel smoother and will have more
even tone. Improvement is gradual and will continue to be more visible after
each treatment. Many individuals experience dramatic results only after 1-2 treatments;
however, four to five treatments are performed for optimal results. Some patients
will benefit from additional maintenance treatments.
