During photrejuvenation treatments, pulses of wide-beam filtered light are directed onto the affected area and absorbed by the melanin for pigmented lesions and by the blood for vascular lesions.

• Pigmented lesions: photorejuvenation light pulses are directly absorbed by the pigment in the lesion. The light heats the pigment and breaks it up. The lesion darkens and crusts after treatment and is naturally shed from the skin after approximately ten days.
• Vascular lesions: photorejuvenation light pulses heat and shrink the small pigmented capillaries which may redden or become gray after treatment. They then fade from view after approximately ten days.

You should see some immediate improvement in only one or two treatments; however successive treatments may be needed depending on the severity of your condition.

Photorejuvenation uses a unique long pulse width that delivers energy to the skin over a relatively long period of time without overheating the epidermis. This makes the treatment safer and more comfortable. Patients may experience
a feeling similar to that of a small rubber band being snapped on the skin, but most clients do not report this sensation as painful.

You may experience temporary redness and a mild “sunburn-like” effect that may last a few hours to a few days.
