Photorejuvenation, when done properly, almost always consists of a series of 3-5 treatments, usually one every three to six weeks. The benefits of photorejuvenation treatments are achieved with little discomfort and minimal risk.

The light bypasses the outer layer of skin (the epidermis) and gently heats the cells in the deeper layer of skin (dermis). These cells, called fibroblasts, start to produce more collagen, which improves texture and fine wrinkles.

What are the treatments like? 

A cool gel is placed on the skin being treated. The smooth glass surface of the handpiece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of light flash. You may feel a very slight sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band.
At the end of the treatment, the gel is removed and the area is cleaned with a warm cloth. A moisturizer with sunscreen is then applied. If there is any mild swelling, you might be given a cold pack to apply for five or ten minutes.

What should I do prior to my photorejuvenation treatment? 

1. For 2-4 weeks before your treatment, avoid self-tanners and excessive sun.

2. .You may be asked to discontinue taking medication that may cause photo sensitivity several days prior to each treatment.

3. 3.You may be asked to avoid taking blood thinner medication one week prior to treatment unless medically indicated to help prevent bruising.

4. Protect your improved skin with sunscreen every morning. Hats and sunglasses are also good protection from the sun.

Who should not get these treatments? 

Avoid laser/IPL treatments in pregnancy/breast feeding because no testing has been done.

Are there any side effects? 
The main side effects are mild, temporary swelling, redness, an accentuation of the brown spots, crusting, and an occasional bruise or small superficial blister (like a sunburn blister).
