WHAT EXACTLY IS PHOTO-REJUVENATION?
Photo-Rejuvenation is simply a number of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments which improve the look of Rosacea, flushing and sun-damaged skin, age spots, skin texture, and photo aging. The IPL procedure can also make improvements to skin texture, the look of mild acne scars and lessen fine lines. Furthermore, this treatment involves little to no “down time”. Regular activities resume right away.
HOW DOES THE PHOTO REJUVENATION (IPL) TREATMENT WORK?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses flashlamps to create high intensity light over wide visible and infrared wavelengths with filters that select the desired range. IPL is used to treat dyschromia, rosacea, melasma, acne, photodamage, pigmented and vascular lesions, and rhytides. An intense light is administered as a series of mild pulses to the treatment area. Without having damaging the skin, the light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. Heat at that point impairs the targeted vessel or lesions, and the body starts a natural healing process. Lesions darken before they flake off or are absorbed by the body. Treatment can take place as often as every three weeks.
