 What it is:
Photo rejuvenation is a non-invasive treatment that corrects skin damage with the use of Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL. It’s safe and effective for such facial concerns as broken capillaries, benign brown pigment, age spots, mottled pigmentation and more. IPL technology has become popular because of its safety and effectiveness.
How it works:
A cool gel is placed on the area, then a IPL handpiece is moved over the treatment area, emitting controlled pulses of light. The light heats up the skin and heals broken capillaries, and as it reaches beneath the surface of the skin, it improves the collagen and connective tissues, creating a significant reduction in skin damage.
What Laura says:
“Everyone could use photo rejuvenation! Most of the damage that’s incurred on our skin has been done by the age of 18, so I don’t know any adults who don’t have some damage, such as sun spots or broken capillaries. Photo rejuvenation lets you see what your skin would look like minus the sun damage.
It’s also a good preventative measure, because we are removing damage that could potentially turn into something dangerous, such as melanoma. And the best thing is, it’s simple and effective. I recommend that, once people have achieved the results they want, they come in once a year for maintenance to remove any additional damage.”
Concerns & Considerations:
One of our PhotoFacial treatments can equal 3 PhotoFacial treatments other clinics offer that's why we do not make you buy a package. However, expect PhotoFacials to require about 7 to 10 days of “down time,” so this is something you’ll want to plan around your social calendar. While you can wear makeup during that recovery time, you will want to avoid sun exposure completely to protect your skin. Some bruising, swelling and a peppered appearance may be present for a few days after treatment. |

| Frequently Asked Questions |

What is Intense Pulsed Light?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology is a treatment breakthrough that can correct a variety of benign skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, the signs of photo-aging, birthmarks, unwanted hair, unsightly small veins, and other blemished. 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, through a new process called photorejuvenation.
How is Photorejuvenation performed?
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 4 to 6 sessions that provide excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction. Each treatment takes about twenty minutes.
Why are multiple treatments necessary?
Depending on the number of conditions you are treating, and the severity of the individual problem, a series of four to six treatment sessions may be recommended. You can return to work the same day and resume all your regular acrivities. By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk – and, it preserves the wonderful “no down time” feature that people appreciate so much.
How do other treatments compare to photorejuvenation?
While there are lasers that treat telangiectasia and broken capillaries, other lasers that treat benign brown pigments and others yet that are used for resurfacing facial skin, no technology provides the long-term improvement of complexion and texture of the IPL Skin Treatments using Photorejuvenation program-all without the slightest interruption in you busy lifestyle.
What conditions an Photorejuvenation treat?
Imprerfections from Sun Damage and Photo-aging.
Facial imperfections or abnormalities can detract from your well being and appearance, no matter how healthy and young you feel. IPL technology helps create smoother-looking skin. After a series of treatments, you can see a significant reduction of unwanted pigmentation. The same treatment can be used effectively on the neck, chest, arms and hands. |

Benign Vascular Lesions:
Broken Veins and Cappillaries
The face has an extensive network of veins and tiny blood vessels called capillaries. Over time, aging, trauma, sun exposure, and certain lifestyle factors cause a number of them to break appearing as red streaks or blotches on the face. IPL therapy can eliminate amaged veins and capillaries by removing virtually all traces of these unsightly blemishes. |

Redness Caused by Broken Capillaries
Many people suffer from broken capillaries and diffuse erythema, that cause them social embarrassment. For both women and men, IPL can successfully treat dilated blood vessels without injuring the surrounding healthy skin.
