Skin Rejuvenation
Photo Rejuvenation is a cosmetic treatment designed to produce younger and healthier looking skin. As most of us age, we begin to see visible signs of sun damage, ageing, and lifestyle choices appearing in our complexion. This change in appearance may include freckles, Rosacea, wrinkles, broken capillaries, dark spots, blotchy skin colour, redness of the face and neck, enlarged pore size and uneven pigmentation. Photo Rejuvenation can reverse the signs of ageing on the face, neck, chest and hands. The gentle lasers correct pigmentation irregularities; and encourage new collagen growth, to smooth out existing facial wrinkles. Lines are minimised by tightening of the skin, and the size of pores are reduced. Results are a fresher, brighter and more toned skin, giving you a new, more radiant look.

How does it work?
Laser light is absorbed by pigmented areas where it is converted to heat, causing a break-up 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 growth.
How soon will I see the 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. With each subsequent treatment, subtle changes will accumulate until you have achieved the improvement you desire.
How often can I have it done?
A series of four to six treatments, spaced two to four weeks apart, is the standard recommendation. Occasionally, more treatment may be needed for certain individuals or conditions.
What can I expect immediately after treatment?
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 flake off for up to one week. Makeup can be applied to the treated areas immediately, if necessary. It is important to apply moisturizer and SPF30 sun block, and avoid sun exposure on a daily basis to prevent additional sun damage.
How long does it take?
This treatment takes approximately 30-60 minutes.
How much does it cost?
