What is photorejuvenation?
The aging of our skin is not only a result of the passing of time. It is also significantly influenced by external factors, such as climatic conditions. Photorejuvenation is a treatment that applies intense light to stimulate skin regeneration and collagen formation.
In addition to significantly improving the appearance of our skin, it also manages to eliminate damaged skin and provide a rejuvenated appearance.
What is it for?
It is a versatile treatment that improves the skin and provides a smoother and softer appearance. It is very effective in eliminating red spots, dilated vessels and spots caused by sun exposure.
Photorejuvenation stimulates new collagen, giving the skin a rejuvenated appearance free of enlarged pores and wrinkles. It is applied mainly on the face, neck and décolleté.
It contributes to the formation of collagen, giving the skin a firm and taut appearance.
What does it consist of?
It is a painless and quick recovery treatment. The time usually does not exceed 30 minutes and the results are visible practically after the first two sessions. The most important thing is that it does not leave marks or scars on the skin and there is no indication regarding age.
Between one session and the next, 15-20 days should elapse and sun exposure should be avoided after the treatment. Once the session is over, a soothing cream is applied to the treated area to promote recovery.
Thanks to easy rejuvenation, collagen formation will be stimulated and the skin’s appearance and health will be significantly improved.
