Photorejuvenation

As we age our skin accumulates damage from the sun, the elements and the wear-and-tear of daily life. Skin Rejuvenation can repair signs of aging and "turn back the clock" by removing age spots, most brown pigmentation and redness due to broken capillaries. Thus, it improves the appearance of rosacea, flushing and sun damaged skin while improving skin texture and a dull complexion. The treatment also improves mild acne scars, reduces large pores, corrects dark circles around the eyes, and reduces fine lines.

At Vivesse we use the HarmonyXL system from Alma Lasers, utilizing Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFTTM). It employs an advanced algorithm that stabilizes each pulse to ensure predictable, reproducible treatments that are safe and effective. An intense light is produced that is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by and heats the pigmentation and/or abnormally dilated vessels, causing remarkably little or no skin damage. Clinical trials conducted by leading authorities on pulsed light document its safety and effectiveness. Though there may be some discomfort, generally described as a rubber band snap, a cooling device is used to minimize the soreness.

 

Treatment may vary from 15 to 45 minutes and involves little to no downtime. Patients generally require a minimum of four treatments to achieve the desired effect; some patients require more. At the time of your treatment the area is first cleansed and a cool gel is applied. The light pulse is then delivered with little or no discomfort. After treatment, the gel is removed and the skin is cleansed. You can resume all regular activities right away. Immediately following treatment the skin may appear flushed, brown pigmented spots may appear darker and capillaries may be more visible. To help guarantee the best results, limit your exposure to the sun for several weeks before and after treatment. After an initial course of therapy follow-up treatments may be desired once a year to maintain results.
