Photorejuvenation is a skin revitalization treatment that utilizes intense pulse light technology (IPL) to improve skin tone and surface imperfections associated with aging and sun damage.

Photorejuvenation is used for skin conditions such as: Age spots, Broken Capillaries,  Hyperpigmentation, Melasma, Redness, Spider Veins, Sun Damage, Freckles, and vascular birthmarks.

Photorejuvenation selectively targets pigments in your skin caused by excessive melanin appearing as hyperpigmentation (brown spots) or redness from broken capillaries or rosacea.

With each pulse delivered, you will experience a mild pinching or stinging to the area. Gel is applied to comfortably cool the area when treating vascular conditions. Topical anesthetics or pain medication are not required.

A photorejuvenation treatment can be completed in a 30 minute appointment. It will depend on the area(s) being treated.

One to three photorejuvenation treatments are essential to achieve optimal results; however, additional treatments may be recommended for excessive sun damage.

Immediately following a photorejuvenation treatment,  brown spots will appear darker, and the skin may appear slightly red and swollen;  this will resolve in a few hours or an extended 24-hour period. In one to three weeks, darkened areas will fade and flake off.

After a photorejuvenation treatment there is no downtime and you can return to your normal daily activities immediately. It is recommended to avoid any heat for 24-48 hours post treatment such as hot showers, hot tubs, saunas or strenuous exercise to prevent risk of irritation to the area. Direct sunlight should be avoided for 24-48 hours and the use of sunscreen is recommended on areas that may be exposed.

Treated pigmentation will darken, flake off and begin to fade within 1-3 weeks. Diffuse redness or telangiectasia will gradually improve over time. Be sure to properly apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen suitable for your skin type to minimize new sun damage.

Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment, aside from the flushed appearance you may experience post procedure there would be no need for social downtime.

A photorejuvenation treatment can be done alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures such as laser acne, laser rejuvenation, microdermabrasion and laser genesis.

A photorejuvenation treatment can be performed biweekly, however, treatment frequency will depend on your skin concerns. This should be discussed with the specialist performing your treatment.
