How Photorejuvenation Works

Photorejuvenation skin treatments use light energy to target vascular and pigmented lesions. When the IPL laser is focused on the skin, energy is absorbed by pigmented cells and converted into heat energy. Cells with undesired pigmentation are heated and destroyed.

Collagen is the protein responsible for nourishing your skin. When your body lacks collagen, the walls in your veins can weaken leaving you susceptible to rosacea and vascular lesions. Low collagen can increase your vulnerability to sun damage and redness. Vascular issues can be addressed by using IPL energy to stimulate new collagen needed for strengthened veins and improved dermal support.

Safe, Comfortable and Effective

Photorejuvenation & photofacial treatments are safe and comfortable. The applicator features a cooling tip that keeps surrounding skin unaffected. Laser energy targets dark spots including hair and may eliminate follicles as part of the treatment. Your skin may feel warm and your face may appear red for 30 to 60 minutes after the procedure. The effects are temporary and patients don’t experience discomfort during, or after the treatment.
