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.
