Photo Rejuvenation

In our never-ending quest for vibrant and youthful skin, advancements in medical aesthetics have paved the way for innovative treatments that can help us turn back the clock. One such breakthrough is photo rejuvenation, a non-invasive procedure that targets several skin concerns and is designed to revitalise and rejuvenate the skin, leaving you with a radiant, more youthful appearance.

What Is Photo Rejuvenation?

Photo rejuvenation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses advanced light technology to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of the skin. It is designed to address various skin concerns, including redness, sun damage, age spots, rosacea, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation. During  photo rejuvenation treatment, a specialised handheld device (Candela Gentlemax Pro) emits pulses of broad-spectrum light onto the skin’s surface. This light energy penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin without causing harm to the surrounding tissues. 

The targeted light is absorbed by specific pigments in the skin, such as melanin (responsible for pigmentation) or superficial haemoglobin, depending on the concern being treated. The absorbed light energy then converts into heat, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibres in the skin. By promoting collagen and elastin synthesis, photo rejuvenation helps to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and enhance the skin’s overall tone and tightness.

What Are The Benefits Of Photo Rejuvenation?

Photo rejuvenation treatment offers several benefits for the skin, including:

Improved Skin Tone & Texture: Photo rejuvenation helps to even out skin tone, reducing the appearance of pigmentation irregularities, such as sunspots, freckles, and age spots. It also enhances overall skin texture, making it smoother and more refined.

Reduced Signs of Ageing: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, photo rejuvenation can minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

Diminished Redness & Facial Veins: The treatment effectively targets facial redness caused by conditions like rosacea or visible blood vessels, reducing their appearance and promoting a more even complexion.

Enhanced Skin Elasticity & Firmness: With increased collagen and elastin production, photo rejuvenation improves skin elasticity and firmness, making the skin appear tighter and more supple.

Minimise Pore Size: Photo rejuvenation can help reduce the size of enlarged pores, resulting in a smoother and more refined skin texture.

Sun Damage Reversal: The treatment is effective in reducing the visible effects of sun damage, including sunspots and photoageing, by breaking down excess pigmentation and promoting skin cell turnover.

Non-invasive & Minimal Downtime: Photo rejuvenation is a non-surgical, non-ablative procedure that typically requires no downtime, and patients can resume their regular activities immediately after treatment.

Versatility: Photo rejuvenation can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands, making it a versatile solution for multiple skin concerns.

Safe & Well-tolerated: When performed by our trained therapists, photo rejuvenation is generally safe and well-tolerated, with minimal risks or side effects.

What Skin Concerns Can Be Treated With Photo Rejuvenation?

Photo rejuvenation effectively addresses a range of skin concerns, including sunspots, freckles, age spots, facial redness, broken capillaries, rosacea, and uneven pigmentation caused by sun damage or ageing. It can also improve overall skin tone and texture.

Built on decades of innovation this state of the art, non-invasive technology can also treat:

  • Unwanted Hair
  • Port Wine Stains
  • Vascular Lesions
  • Hemangioma
  • Telangiectasia
  • Venous Lake
  • Some leg veins
  • Diffuse redness
  • Pigmented Lesions
  • Nail Fungus
  • Wrinkles
  • Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (razor bumps)

Is Photo Rejuvenation Painful?

Photo rejuvenation is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Some individuals may experience a mild sensation similar to a rubber band snap or slight warmth during the treatment. However, numbing creams can be applied before the procedure to further enhance comfort.

What Should I Do Before Photo Rejuvenation Treatment?

Before undergoing a photo rejuvenation treatment, it is crucial to minimise sun exposure, including tanning beds and self-tanning products, in the weeks leading up to your treatment. Generally, it is advised to stay away from sun exposure for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to treatment. If you must be in the sun, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and wear protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses.

Additionally, before undergoing photo rejuvenation, you are required to attend a consultation with our paramedically trained therapist. During this consultation, a test patch will be conducted. This precautionary measure ensures that the photo rejuvenation treatment will be tailored to your specific needs, providing you with optimal and effective results.

What Should I Expect Immediately After Photo Rejuvenation?

Immediately following your photo rejuvenation treatment, you may experience mild to moderate swelling and redness, similar to the sensation of sunburned skin. However, there is no need to worry as this is totally normal and expected. Depending on the specific skin concern being treated, you may also notice superficial crusting of the skin. This is a normal and desired effect, particularly when targeting conditions like freckles, pigmentation, and sun damage.

Note: It’s important to note that if you have darker skin or recent sun exposure, you may observe temporary pigmentation changes, where certain areas of the skin become lighter or darker.

What Should I Do After Photo Rejuvenation Treatment? (Aftercare)

After undergoing photo rejuvenation treatment, it is important to follow these aftercare guidelines:

Protect your skin from the sun: Your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after the treatment. It is crucial to protect your skin by avoiding direct sun exposure, especially during peak hours when the sun’s rays are strongest. If you must be outdoors, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. 

Avoid heat-related activities: Refrain from engaging in activities that generate heat or cause excessive sweating for at least 48 hours after the treatment. This includes hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense workouts. Heat can increase the risk of skin irritation and potential complications.

Keep the treated area clean and moisturised: Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser. Avoid using harsh products, cosmeceutical skin care, or scrubbing the skin. To keep the treatment area hydrated, we suggest you apply a soothing agent like Lira BIO Recovery Balm. 

Avoid picking or scratching the skin: It is essential to refrain from picking, scratching, or exfoliating the treated area. Let the skin naturally shed and heal on its own to avoid complications and ensure optimal results.

Stay hydrated: Last but not least, drink plenty of water to keep your body and skin hydrated. Optimal hydration supports the healing process and overall skin health.

Are The Results Of Photo Rejuvenation Permanent?

While photo rejuvenation can deliver noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance, the ageing process and external factors can continue to affect the skin over time. As such, maintenance treatments may be recommended by your therapist to prolong and optimise the results. It is also important to follow a good skincare routine and protect the skin from sun exposure to maintain the benefits of the treatment.
