What is Photo-Facial / Photorejuvenation?
Laser technology is a treatment breakthrough that can correct a variety of skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, the signs of aging (wrinkles), birthmarks, unsightly small veins, and other blemishes. 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.
How is the Photo-Facial / Photorejuvenation procedure performed?
A cold gel is applied to the area to be treated. Dark glasses are given to protect your eyes from the bright light. The smooth glass surface of the laser handpiece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of laser are applied. You may feel a slight sting, like the snapping of a rubber band. An anesthetic cream may be used, but is seldom required. The blowing cool air (in addition to the cold gel) helps to minimizes pain during treatment and to make the procedure more comfortable for our patients (see Pain Reduction).
Each treatment usually takes about twenty minutes. Treatment is usually administered in a series of procedures that provide excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction rates.
Why are multiple treatments necessary?
Depending on the number of conditions you are treating, and the severity of the individual problem, a series of five or six treatment sessions may be recommended. You can return to work the same day and resume all your regular activity. By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk. It preserves the "no downtime" feature that people appreciate so much.
How do other treatments compare to Photo-Facial / Photorejuvenation?
While there are lasers that treat red spots, other lasers treat browns, and others yet that are used for resurfacing of facial skin, no technology provides the long-term improvement of complexion and texture of the IPL Photorejuvenation system used by Laser Medical Centre. Many laser procedures require local anesthesia and result in months of recovery from painful burns and increased redness of the treated areas. Photorejuvenation causes minimal redness which resolves in several hours, thus causing no disruption of your busy lifestyle.
What conditions can Photo-Facial / Photorejuvenation treat?
- Imperfection from sun damage and photo aging.
- Broken veins and capillaries.
- Symptoms of Rosacea.
Enlarged pores, dull complexions and other facial imperfections or abnormalities can detract from your well being and appearance, no matter how healthy and young you feel. Today's laser technology improves both the superficial and deeper skin layers and rejuvenates the skin while at the same time delivering beneficial thermal energy to deep tissues. After a series of treatments, you can see a significant reduction of unwanted pigmentation and the appearance of smoother, revitalized skin. The same treatment can be used effectively on the neck, chest, and the hands.
