What does Photorejuvenation actually do?

The light delivers a series of gentle pulses of light into the skin. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the blood vessels and areas of irregular pigmentation. The body can then begin its natural healing process of re-absorbation of the treated area.

What conditions can be improved by Photorejuvenation?

Photorejuvenation treatments are used to improve rosacea, broken capillaries, sun damage, skin texture, age spots, mild acne, and irregular pigmentation. It may also reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as large pores.

IPL Photo Rejuvenation - Photo Facials

Intense Pulsed Light Photorejuvenation and Photofacials are the same treatment. They are an advanced way to restore the true beauty of your skin. It visibly improves the texture and appearance of skin by reducing redness, freckling, pore size, uneven texture, and even some fine lines. Photorejuvenation can also be used in conjunction with microdermabrasion for enhanced results. Each treatment can take anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes. There is no downtime except for slight redness of the skin for a day. Patients should have follow-up treatments to maintain optimal results. In severe cases of Rosacea, Melasma and Sun Damage we recommend up to 6 treatments every 2-4 weeks for best results.
