Photo Rejuvenation

What is Photorejuvenation?

The Clinique of plastic Surgery offers the latest in Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photo Rejuvenation, "The Palomar", a noninvasive, laser-like technology that improves skin damage without disrupting the skin's surface, thereby minimizing potential side effects and virtually eliminating down time.

Using gentle resurfacing, Photo Rejuvenation removes age spots, brown spots, and sun damage while improving the skin texture. Added benefits include collagen production, reducing fine lines and shrinking the pores. It also represents a treatment breakthrough for the symptoms of rosacea. IPL combined with Levulan (a photo sensitizing drug) has been shown to be effective in treating medication resistant acne and pre cancerous spots (Actinic Keratosis) with little down time. The final result is a softer, more youthful appearance. Most patients achieve their desired result in only two to three sessions, and some maintenance treatments are usually recommended. The Photo Rejuvenation procedure can be performed on the face, neck, hands, chest, arms, and legs. Another great application of IPL is for the removal of unwanted hair for men and women.

Our Intense Skin Management Program combines selective cosmeceuticals (medically effective skin products) for added efficacy, in addition to microdermabrasion and intense pulsed light rejuvenation.

What You Can Expect

During the first 30 days after Photo Rejuvenation treatment, the building blocks for collagen production are being created, and there will be visible improvement. During the next 2 months, you should see a slow and steady improvement in the depth of the line or wrinkle. Expect to see the full result of your Photo Rejuvenation session after about 90 days. For deeper wrinkles, you may find that you need additional treatments.

Unlike traditional laser treatments, the Photo Rejuvenation treatment does not require any post treatment care, since it works, over time, to stimulate collagen underneath your skin. In addition, Dr. Drehsen believes that by using the Clinique of Plastic Surgery's Mega peels and skin care products, you can further enhance the results from the Intense Pulsed Light treatment.
