What is Photorejuvenation?
Photorejuvenation is done by "Intense Pulsed Light" (IPL) devices. By crossing the epidermis without damaging it, the pulsed light creates heat in the dermis, acting on three particularly interesting targets for skin rejuvenation:
- Capillary vessels: to reduce redness and red spots.
- Melanin pigments: to erase dark spots and unify the complexion.
- Fibroblasts: cells that produce new natural collagen, and the collagen itself by promoting its contraction, which will firm the skin.
Indications for Photorejuvenation
The appearance of skin aging signs is mostly caused by the harmful and cumulative effects of repeated sun exposure. UV rays denature components of the skin, including collagen and elastin. The skin loses its thickness, its firmness, and especially its elasticity.
In older people who have been exposed to the sun, these signs are more pronounced. On the face, neck, and hands, this technique can be used for:
Intervention in practice:
Before any intervention, the patient will be evaluated by the professional during a first consultation. The medical history of the patient will be discussed. During the consultation, the skin will be examined.
Before starting, the technician masks moles and tattoos only with white color. The device will be used according to the phototype and according to the skin defects in the area to be treated (textures; spots; spider veins). Protective glasses will be worn.
On a small area, the technician applies the cold transparent gel. Then the nurse will position the optical conduit on the gel in the area to be treated and triggers the flash by pressing the push button. This process passes over the entire area to be treated.
The advantages of Photorejuvenation
A treatment that responds well to demand. This treatment is recommended for patients that have a light skin tone. It allows rejuvenation of the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, and hands.
Intense pulsed light has become a staple in facial rejuvenation programs and combines well with other skin treatments. No other technology gives the long-term firming that photo rejuvenation provides.
Guidelines for Effective Treatment:
BEFORE : No cream or make-up should be applied.
DURING: The treatment lasts 30 minutes.During the treatment, the impacts of the flash of light are not very unpleasant, depending on the areas treated and on the individual. They are similar to that of a light tap on the skin.
APRÈS: Redness appears immediately after the session, but disappears within a few hours.
Treated brown spots will darken, especially after the first session, for a few days. Occasionally, a very fine crust may form right on the site of the brown spots. This will disappear in 5 to 6 days.
SUITES : You can resume your activities as soon as the treatment is over.
If you feel a tingling sensation after the session, we recommend you apply a repair cream.
Apply sun protection.
Tanning should be avoided at all costs during this treatment.
