PHOTO REJUVENATION
For no recovery removal of blemishes, veins, and spots
Photo Rejuvenation is an innovative and gentle new procedure for many skin
problems that requires no recovery time and causes little or no discomfort after
treatment. It creates younger, healthier, more radiant skin and can be performed
on the face, neck, or chest.
What is Photo Rejuvenation?
Younger skin contains more collagen than older skin, and photo rejuvenation uses
laser pulses of light to encourage your body to form new collagen. The result is
firmer and smoother skin.
Unlike laser resurfacing, photo rejuvenation requires no recovery time and is a
much more gentle procedure. The doctor will help you to determine the best
treatment to achieve your desired results.
What Can Photo Rejuvenation Do For Me?
* If you have rough or coarse skin, photo rejuvenation can smooth it, creating a
healthier appearance.
* Photo rejuvenation can minimize the appearance of large pores.
* If you have fine wrinkles, photo rejuvenation can be an excellent treatment to
reduce them.
* Photo rejuvenation therapy is recommended to reduce freckles, age spots,
uneven skin tone, and mildly sun damaged skin.
* Photo rejuvenation is an effective treatment for rosacea and broken
capillaries.
* If you have red splotches, photo rejuvenation can eliminate them.
* With no recovery time necessary, photo rejuvenation is perfect for those
without the ability to take time off from work or other activities.
What Does Photo Rejuvenation Feel Like?
* The laser light can be uncomfortable, but the heat or pricking sensation it
produces lasts only a few seconds.
* Cooling devices or anesthetic creams are sometimes applied to reduce your
discomfort.
* Photo rejuvenation generally takes less than an hour to perform.
What Can I Expect After the Procedure?
* Photo rejuvenation is an outpatient procedure, and you may immediately go home
and resume all normal activities.
* For some patients, the treated areas may appear worse for the first few hours
or days. Spots may become darker or redder. This is part of the healing process
and will rapidly improve. Make-up may be applied to cover the affected areas.
* You will see gradual results over a period of time, as the body continues to
produce more collagen.
* In some cases, mild swelling and bruising may occur, which subsides within a
few days.
* While you may experience improvement after one procedure, most patients have a
series of three to six treatments performed once per month in order to fully
correct the problem areas.
* After the first series of procedures, it is recommended to have two treatments
per year to maintain the results.
* Your skin will be more vulnerable to sun damage following photo rejuvenation,
and the doctor will advise you how to properly protect it from the sun.
What are the Risks of Photo Rejuvenation?
Redness, bruising, swelling, or scabbing are occasionally experienced after
photo rejuvenation, but these problems clear up after a short period of time. In
rare cases, lightening or darkening of the skin may occur.
