Photo Rejuvenation / Intense Pulse Light

Remove unwanted hair with the GentleLASE family of lasers.

This is not a laser device. Photo Rejuvenation is a series of Intense Pulsed Light treatments that improve the appearance of brown spots, sun damage, broken capillaries, and skin texture. Treatment also improves mild acne scars, reduces large pores, and reduces fine lines. Treatments are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest, and hands. This exciting treatment involves little or no “down time.” You can resume normal activities immediately.

How does the treatment work?

An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated red vessels or brown spots. The heat causes damage to the vessel or brown spot, and the body begins its natural healing process. The brown spots will darken before they flake off. The body reabsorbs the damaged red vessels. The treatment also stimulates collage production which reduces fine lines and makes the skin smoother. Treatment can be given as frequently as every two weeks.

How many treatments will I need?

For optimal results, a series of 3 to 5 treatments are recommended. Follow-up treatments may be desired once a year to maintain results.

What improvement will I see?

Patients have a high degree of satisfaction with their results. Expect to see a gradual decrease in brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, flushing, pore size and fine lines. After each treatment, the skin will feel smoother and appear to have a more even tone.
