Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation is a revolutionary skin treatment using multiple laser wavelengths to eliminate and reduce pigmentation, broken capillaries, wrinkles and improve facial toning. It is most often performed on the face and neck, but the décolletage, hands and arms can be treated as well.
What are the benefits of skin rejuvenation? Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation is ideal for
eliminating a variety of problems including:
broken capillaries
rosacea
large pores
pigmentation variances
spider veins
wrinkles
age spots/sun spots
flushing
freckles
How does skin rejuvenation work? Laser light is absorbed by pigmented
areas where it is converted to heat
causing a breakup in the pigment. In
broken capillaries and spider veins the
laser energy is absorbed by the pigment
in the blood and collapses the unwanted
vein. For wrinkles and skin toning the laser
stimulates collagen re-growth. We will analyse
your skin condition and help you select the
most effective treatment for you.
When will you see results?
Effects are cumulative. After the first treatment you will see improvements to broken capillaries, small facial veins and some pigmented areas within a few days. Other improvements such as wrinkle reduction and toning will be more subtle and may take one to three months. Friends may suggest that you look more rested. With each subsequent treatment, subtle changes will accumulate until you have achieved the improvement you desire.
How often can skin rejuvenation be performed?
A series of three to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart is our standard
recommendation. Occasionally, more treatments may be needed for certain
individuals or conditions. Periodic occasional maintenance treatments may be
prescribed for more desirable lasting results.
What can be expected immediately post skin rejuvenation?
Immediately following the procedure you may experience some redness, swelling and/or a slight darkening of pigmented areas. The redness and swelling usually dissipate within one to three days however darkened pigmentation may persist and peel lightly for up to one week. Makeup can be applied to the treated area immediately, if necessary.
Additionally, hair growth may be impaired in the treated area, although it is not the intended purpose of this particular treatment. It is extremely important to apply a moisturiser with at least a SPF25 sun block and avoid sun exposure on a daily basis to prevent additional sun damage.
How long does skin rejuvenation take?
This treatment takes approximately 30 - 60 minutes.
