PhotoRejuvenation

What is PhotoRejuvenation?

A process whereby a specialized laser (KTP and Vbeam) is used to remove the hyperpigmentation and vascularity, especially on the face, neck and chest, that has resulted from skin damage and other factors.

How does the treatment work?

The laser light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormal vessels and/or pigmentation. The heat created causes damage to the vessel or pigmentation allowing the body to begin its natural healing process. The lesions will either flake off or the body will absorb it.

Treatment Examples

What can I expect?

This varies from patient to patient. At most, the sensation of a rubber band snapping on the area is experienced. Some areas are more sensitive than others, especially under the nose and eyes. There is usually no pain after the treatment. The treated area will be red or darkened and some swelling may be noted. This usually resolves within a few hours, but may last longer. Improvement is progressive and may take up to 6 weeks.

Side Effects

Rarely, swelling and/or blistering can occur. Temporary lightening and redness may occur but usually resolve within weeks to months. Limiting sun exposure for several weeks before and after treatment will greatly minimize complications.

Leg Spider Veins

Laser is poorly effective and may make the problem worse. Unless the sources are treated, usually with sclerotherapy, the veins may return or worsen. Dr.Kass, our medical director, is a vein expert and will be happy to discuss this with you.
