Photo Facial Rejuvenation
Q. What is
Photorejuvenation?
A. Photorejuvenation is the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™),
a breakthrough technology, to treat and correct a variety of skin conditions
such as irregularity of color (brown and red spots), poor skin texture, small
veins, and signs of aging due to sun. It offers a safe, non invasive solution
that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type, providing
superior cosmetic results and outstanding satisfaction.
Q. How is the
Photorejuventation procedure performed?
A. A
cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated, and you may be given
dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light.
The smooth glass surface of the IPL™ handpiece is gently applied to
your skin and pulses of light are applied.
You may feel a slight sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band.
An anesthetic cream may be used, but is seldom required. Treatment is generally administered in a series of procedures
that provides excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high
satisfaction. Each treatment
takes about twenty minutes.
Q. Why are
multiple treatments necessary?
A. A series of five or six treatment sessions may be recommended.
You can return to work the same day and resume all your regular
activities. By dividing the full program into several treatments, the
procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk and “no
downtime”.

Red
blemishes from broken blood vessels and brown spots of
pigment from sun damage respond to intense Pulsed Light.
The light is changed to heat energy as it reaches to the level
of the collagen beneath the skin surface. |
Q. How do other
treatments compare to Photorejuvenation?
A. No technology provides the long-term improvement of complexion and texture
of the IPL™ Photorejuvenation program – all without the slightest
interruption in your busy lifestyle.
Q. What
conditions can Photorejuvenation treat?
A. Imperfections
from Sun Damage and Photo-aging.
Enlarged pores, dull complexions and other facial imperfections or
abnormalities can be treated with IPL™.
After a series of treatments, you can see a significant reduction of
unwanted pigmentation and the appearance of smoother, revitalized skin.
The same treatment can be used effectively on the neck, the chest, and
the hands.
Broken Veins and
Capillaries
IPL™ therapy can eliminate damaged veins and capillaries by removing
virtually all traces of these unsightly blemishes.
Symptoms of
Rosacea
Rosacea is a skin aliment that leaves people red-faced from dilated blood
vessels and chronic flushing. IPL™
can successfully treat dilated blood vessels and redness without injuring the
surrounding healthy skin, while greatly reducing the episodes of flushing with
long-term effectiveness.
