PhotoRejuvenation
PhotoRejuvenation is a cosmetic
treatment designed to produce younger
and healthier looking skin. As most of us
age, we begin to see visible signs of sun
damage, time, and lifestyle choices
appearing in our complexion. This aged
look may include freckles, rosacea,
wrinkles, broken capillaries, dark spots,
blotchy skin colour, redness of the face
and neck, enlarged pore size and
uneven pigmentation.
PhotoRejuvenation is the only procedure
that can treat vascular redness, the
appearance of rosacea, pigmented
brown spots, sun damage, skin texture,
and collagen structure all at once. With
the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™)
technology, dramatic improvements
can now be accomplished with little or
no "downtime" and with very minimal
discomfort.
At no. 8 clinic we have several systems
available to help produce younger looking,
healthier skin:
1. PPx Aesthera: As we age and our
skin is exposed to the sun, smoke and
other pollutants, it undergoes
fundamental changes that result in
uneven and blotchy pigmentation,
redness, brown spots and unsightly
veins. These very visible signs of
aging can be addressed with a
breakthrough new treatment.
Photopneumatic Therapy (PPx) is an
innovative new therapy to correct
the appearance of damaged skin,
leaving skin more youthful and
healthy.
2. Intense Pulsed Light offers a very
effective treatment for pigmented
marks, such as age/liver spots and
freckles, that appear on the face
and hands. Laser treatment can
remove deeper, larger areas of
pigmentation such as birthmarks.
Both treatments are non-invasive
and result in a more even skin tone.
3. CFT is a treatment which combines a
mild chemical peel with the benefits
of Phototherapy. Dead skin cells
are removed from the surface by
means of the peel, leaving a fresh
and healthy appearance.
An Intense Pulsed Light machine is then
used to progressively improve the skin
tone and texture in the following ways:
• Stimulates collagen and elastin
production deep within the
dermis, increasing skin elasticity
and strength.
• Reduces pigmentation problems,
giving skin a more even colour.
• Reduces fine thread veins, thereby
reducing general skin redness
(known as rosacea).
It is possible to produce softer, smoother
skin, more uniform in colour and with less
visible pores. Fine lines and wrinkles can
be softened and some may disappear.
Four to six treatment sessions take place
two to three weeks apart. The results
are evident at the end of the course of
treatments and will continue to improve
for some weeks following the course. Further
maintenance sessions may be required
after a twelve month period, depending
on the amount of sun damage in the
intervening period.
