Photorejuvenation uses light energy from a laser device called an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to improve:
- Brown spots caused by the sun, aging and genetics
- Blotchy redness
- Broken blood vessels
Photorejuvenation, which is sometimes referred to as a “Photofacial”, also improves texture by stimulating collagen production in the skin. This makes pores appear smaller and fine lines less noticeable. Four to five treatments are spaced 3-4 weeks apart to achieve the best results. Photorejuvenation treatments make skin look and feel, tight, refreshed and toned.
The entire face is treated in approximately 20 minutes. The neck, chest, arms and hands may also be treated safely and effectively. No anesthetic cream is necessary during a photorejuvenation procedure.
The best way to maintain results is to protect the skin from sun and use medical grade products in your home skin care program. After the initial series of treatments, one or two photorejuvenation treatments per year are helpful to keep brown spots, blood vessels and fine lines at bay. Frequency of maintenance treatments depends on sun exposure.
What are IPL Skin Treatments using Photorejuvenation?
The term "Photorejuvenation" refers to the non-ablative, non-invasive treatment
of red and brown pigment that leaves a smooth skin texture and even complexion, yielding a more youthful appearance.

How are IPL Skin Treatments using Photorejuvenation performed?
Before treatment, a cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated
and patients are given protective eyewear. During treatment, the smooth, crystalline surface of the IPL hand piece is gently applied to the skin, delivering precise pulses of light to the area being treated. IPL treatments are usually pain-free, but an anesthetic cream can be used if the light pulses are uncomfortable. Some patients compare the sensation to a light pinch or the snap of a rubber band. Treatment sessions usually last about 20 minutes, and a complete program usually includes four to six sessions.
After treatment, patients can immediately return to normal routines and activities. Occasionally evidence of treatment such as redness or blotchiness may last for an hour or two.
