| HOW DOES IT WORK? |
| |
| Photorejuvenation is performed with a
series on Intense Pulsed light treatments. The light
penetrates the top layer of skin and acts upon the underlying
layer of the dermis. The light energy seals small blood
vessels, destroys melanin pigment, destroys hair follicles,
and stimulates cells to produce new collagen which reduces
wrinkles. |
| |
| WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT? |
| |
| Results should become especially noticeable after
several treatments, as wrinkles, redness, and age spots
fade away. Patients also enjoy a reduction in pore size,
and an overall better skin tone and texture. There is
virtually no downtime associated with photorejuvenationl.
Some patients experience slight redness after their
IPL treatment, always lasting less than 24 hours. |

What is photorejuvenation? |
| |
|
| |
It is the process of using light
on the skin’s surface to effect changes beneath
the surface of the skin. Blood vessels, brown pigment,
hair follicles may be removed and wrinkles may be reduced
with this treatment. |

|
| |
What are the side effects of photorejuvenation? |
| |
|
| |
The same side effects as laser/IPL
hair removal or vein treatment, (i.e. burning, blistering,
and extra pigmentation on the skin). |
| |
|
| |
How long will the changes from photorejuvenation last? |
| |
|
| |
After a series of 3-4 treatments,
the improved appearance should last for 1-2 years. |
