THE LASER SOLUTION FOR SKIN DAMAGE

Are you a candidate for facial rejuvenation, also known asphotofacials?
The answer is “Yes” if your skin shows evidence of chronic exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet light.

Physicians call this condition “photodamage”, and the most obvious signs are coarsening of skin texture, wrinkling, irregular pigmentation, and enlarged blood vessels and pores.

Skin rejuvenation is the visible improvement of sun damaged skin through the use of pulse dye laser technology which will stimulate the underlying collagen.

How do I know if I have photodamaged skin?
If you are over 30 years old and enjoy an active lifestyle your skin is probably showing signs of damage.

How many treatments are required?
Typically several treatments are required for full-face treatment. The average treatment takes about 20 minutes. Results may become apparent after a few treatments (usually over 2 months).

How does pulse dye laser treatment differ from CO2 lasers, chemical peels, and dermabrasion?
Unlike CO2 lasers, dermabrasion or chemical peels that remove the outer skin and require significant healing time, the pulse dye laser gently penetrates the skin without damaging it.

What will I look like after surgery?
Results will vary but you should expect your skin to appear reddened. You can expect to return to your normal activities immediately with minimal precautions such as sunscreen.
