Photorejuvenation

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Photo rejuvenation with any or all of our lasers (aura laser, revlite laser, isolaz, plasma portrait, and fractional laser) works in synergy to produce the best results.

 

We often also combine the lasers with other cosmetic procedures for rejuvenation such as fillers, muscle relaxant injections, suture lift, and other cosmetic surgery. Liposuculpture can help shape the face around the neck and jowls but rejuvenation tightens the skin. After a suture lift the best and longest results occur if rejuvenation therapy strats to help tighten the collagen whilst  the skin is lifted.

 

A number of our beauty cosmetic procedures in our Med Day Spa such as microdermabrasion, airgent, and peels often also complement laser rejuvenation.

 

It works because the laser light passes through the skin until it hits its target which is the blood in the vessels for the aura laser and the water in the deep dermis for the other lasers.

The laser delivers energy into the deep dermis where the fibroblasts (which make collagen) live creating heat.

 

This heat tricks the fibroblasts into making new collagen.

 

The process of new collagen formation takes 6-8weeks and then it crosslinks with the elastin over months.

 

This is why we say the improvement takes a few months to occur and continues to improve for 6-12mths.

 

Each time creates a difference but multiple cosmetic procedures for laser rejuvenation usually approx 1mth apart are needed.

 

There is risk of crust or scab with the laser rejuvenation especially if tan or fake tan or sunscreen or makeup on so come in with clean face and avoid sun.

 

We recommend 4-6 laser rejuvenation cosmetic procedures and over the years as we cont to age some maintenance laser rejuvenation cosmetic procedures as well.

 

Aura Laser & Photo Rejuvenation

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Aura laser is one of our classic lasers. We have been using it in one of its forms for over 13years. We think it is still the best laser for treating blood vessels and spider angioma. It is also a great laser for background redness and flushing, red and purple birthmarks like haemangiomas and port wine stains. And we use this laser for removing and lightening pigmented marks like freckles lentigines and chloasma.

 

The Aura laser is also used for a cosmetic procedure called photo rejuvenation. Photo rejuvenation is where we use the laser light to heat up the deep dermis where the fibroblasts live and then the fibroblast cells start to make new collagen which then crosslinks with elastin and plumps up and smooths the skin hence rejuvenation making the skin look as it was when you were younger.

 

But the best bit about the Aura laser is not just how effective this laser is, but that the laser has almost no downtime especially for rejuvenation. So it really is a walk in walk out laser treatment or cosmetic procedure in the case of photo rejuvenation.

 

An ideal person for aura may have some veins and pigmented spots also that get removed.
