Orlando's Choice For IPL - Photorejuvenation
THE REJUVELUX PROCESS
We all want clear skin, but nature has a way of sabotaging us with frustrating imperfections, especially as we age and sun damage accumulates.
Fortunately, skin rejuvenation has advanced beyond the painful procedures of the past. The Palomar RejuveLux process offers comfortable and effective photofacials for the treatment of sun damage and visible veins.
Treat Multiple Conditions
The RejuveLux Process uses pulses of concentrated light to clear:
- Sun Damage: Wide areas of pigmentation on the face, chest, and arms.
- Sunspots: Individual pigmented lesions, also known as age spots.
- Rosacea: General inflammation of the cheeks and face.
- Spider Veins: Individual vessels, which can be red, blue, or purple in color.
Safe, Comfortable, and Fast!
In the past, harsh treatments resulted in red, raw skin, with a long recovery period.
But the RejuveLux Process provides the most skin-safe, comfortable, and effective photofacials available, without any downtime. RejuveLux appointments are quick, and you can return to work or other activities looking and feeling fine!
How does Palomar pulsed light work?
Palomar Systems use specialized handpieces which filter light from different parts of the spectrum. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength that is ideal for different treatments, such as sunspot removal and vessel clearance.
The Palomar RejuveLux handpieces emit pulses of light into the skin. The light is absorbed by the pigment in sunspots and the blood in visible vessels, and converted to heat. The heat dissolves the cells that create the pigment and shrinks the vessels.
How is Palomar pulsed light different from a laser?
Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar, but Palomar offers the most powerful pulsed light system available. Palomar uses a much larger treatment window than most lasers. This spreads light over a wider area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result.
What body areas can I get treated?
Any area, except directly around the eyes. The face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs can all be treated.
What are Palomar Rejuvelux treatments like?
A topical gel will be applied and Dr. Serrao will move the handpiece over your skin, pulsing it all the while. Each pulse will send a beam of light through your skin. A flashing light, and audible tone, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the handpiece is being pulsed.
Is there any downtime?
No downtime is involved; patients can return to normal activities immediately.
Are there any side effects?
Possible side effects include reddening of the skin and mild swelling. Burns and pigmentation changes are very rare.
How many treatments are needed?
IPL Photofacials are done in a series of three to four at four to six week intervals.
How long does the treatment last?
The duration varies depending on your individual needs and the size of the area to be treated. Appointments usually range from a half hour to an hour.
How does the treatment feel?
Most patients experience little discomfort. Some patients may feel heat or a slight stinging sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.
Who should avoid IPL Photorejuvenation/Photofacials?
Patients with keloids, dark skin, dark tans or recent tans may not be ideal candidates. Darker skin tones are at an increased risk of side effects. Intense Pulsed Light may not be recommended for pregnant women or clients taking blood thinners.
Instructions before treatment:
Do not tan or stay in the sun for extended periods of time before treatment. Avoid aspirin and other blood thinners.
What should I expect after treatment?
- Avoid any sun exposure for 48 to 72 hours and wear SPF 30 sunscreen.
- Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts two to twenty-four hours, and can be soothed with cold gel or ice packs.
- Sunspots/Sun Damage: The sunspots will darken after treatment and be naturally shed from the skin within one to two weeks.
- Rosacea: Skin tone will be more normal, with less pronounced redness within a week after treatment.
- Spider Veins: Vessels may disappear after treatment or they may appear darker and then fully or partially fade within ten to fourteen days.
- Typically, several treatments will be necessary to achieve complete clearance of sunspots, rosacea, and vessels.
