Facial RejuvenationAs we get older, fine lines and wrinkles begin forming on our face. Collagen has been used to help soften the appearance of aging skin. Some people choose to have collagen injected into the face to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. However photo facial rejuvenation gives patients a softer and gentler option. This is done by light energy actually stimulating the production of collagen. The energy is gently delivered through a special handpiece to the targeted area. Then the targeted damaged tissue absorbs the light energy leaving the skin looking much younger. This procedure can even take care of red complexion, irregular pigmentation and large pores.
Photo facial rejuvenation is non-surgical and offers minimal amount of pain. When the light pulses are delivered to the needed areas, most patients have compared it to the snap of a rubber band on the skin. Patients can choose to have topical anesthesia to minimize pain even further. There is rarely any post-operative discomfort after treatment. A flushed look may follow, but that soon fades away. The doctor may have some instructions for the patient to follow, including avoiding harsh skin cleansers and to use sunscreen.
Even after just one treatment of photo facial rejuvenation, the skin will have a more even tone with a smoother look and feel. Also pore sizes decrease in size, as do fine lines and wrinkles. Depending on the area treated, there will be a series of five to eight treatments. However, the treatments only take 15 to 30 minutes for the doctor to administer. The results of each treatment will steadily increase the improvements. Photo facial rejuvenation treatments offer patients a quick, safe, and painless way to regain a youthful look.
