What is photorejuvenation?

Photorejuvenation or rejuvenation without damaging the skin is a method in which the condition of the skin is improved through the active exposure to flashes of light. Initially, this method was called exclusively “photorejuvenation.” Later, the name “phototherapy” began to be used, since simultaneously with the activation of collagen production, the correction of many external defects is carried out. In our medical institution “K+31” the procedure is carried out using Lumecca, Palomar Icon and BBL Hero devices.
What is photorejuvenation?

Features of the facial photorejuvenation procedure

When interacting with the skin, flashes of light aimed at photorejuvenation of the face initiate a number of improvements:

  • Disappearance of age spots
  • Increasing skin elasticity
  • Giving uniformity to skin tone
  • Removal of toxins

Elimination of pigmentation during facial photorejuvenation is achieved due to the absorption of light by cells containing melanin, which leads to the decomposition of pigment. Light activates the production of elastin and collagen fibers in skin cells. Skin tone becomes more even due to its enrichment with oxygen. The device also destroys germs, reducing the visibility of blood vessels.

The photofacial procedure stimulates key functions in the skin, and noticeable results appear after seven days. Effectiveness depends on the characteristics of the client, the skills of the specialist and the schedule of sessions. Facial photorejuvenation is also suitable for acne treatment. Depending on the type of light used, there are different types of photorejuvenation:

  1. Laser
  2. Collagen
  3. IPL therapy
  4. Elos-rejuvenation

Laser rejuvenation uses a neodymium laser, while IPL uses intense light with precisely defined pulses. The skin is exposed to frequent flashes of radiation of a given power. Elos rejuvenation combines electrical and light technologies. With the collagen method, rays of a specific length are applied to the skin, stimulating the production of collagen fibers.

Before starting treatment, you must make an appointment with a skin care specialist. He will assess your skin type, explain the facial photorejuvenation process, provide pre-preparation tips, and develop a treatment plan. Facial photorejuvenation includes the following steps:

  1. Preparation - removing makeup, cleaning the skin, examining it, applying a special gel for better glide of the device
  2. Device setup—adjusting treatment parameters based on your skin type and treatment goals
  3. Treatment of a specific area - treatment of a selected area using the device
  4. The final stage is removing the remaining gel and applying a soothing cream

Session duration varies from 20 minutes to one hour. It depends on the size of the treated area and the goals of the session. Treatment of areas with pigmentation or rosacea may require more time.

Answers to popular questions

K+31 specialists answered the most common questions about this technology.

How many treatment sessions are needed?

The number of facial photorejuvenation sessions required depends on the goals of treatment, the patient’s age, skin type, and the severity of the problems that need to be solved. It is usually recommended to undergo 3 to 5 procedures, which are carried out at intervals of 3-4 weeks.

What sensations does the patient experience during the procedure?

There is no pain during photorejuvenation. Patients feel warmth and a slight burning sensation. Discomfort may increase in persons with sensitive skin.

How does photorejuvenation differ from other rejuvenation procedures?

Photofacial rejuvenation uses light pulses to stimulate the skin's natural repair processes, unlike injection techniques that involve injecting a substance under the skin. Unlike aggressive laser treatments, photorejuvenation does not damage the upper layers of the skin, making the procedure less invasive.

What restrictions exist after the procedure?

After a facial photorejuvenation session, it is recommended to refrain from drinking alcohol and active sports training for the first 24-48 hours. This is because vigorous activities and alcohol can increase circulation, which promotes swelling and can slow down the healing process.

How often can the procedure be repeated?

The photorejuvenation procedure can be repeated every 3-4 weeks depending on the condition of the skin and the recommendations of the cosmetologist.

Does photorejuvenation affect existing skin diseases?

If you have serious dermatological conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or rosacea, it is important to consult a dermatologist before the procedure. In some cases, photorejuvenation may worsen these conditions.
