Photofacial Treatments

Benefits

The Palomar RejuveLux process can remove sunspots, visible veins, and other imperfections.

The RejuveLux^TM Process

We all want clear skin, but nature has a way of sabotaging us with frustrating imperfections. Luckily, photofacial technology (which uses lasers and pulsed light to remove skin imperfections) has been growing in leaps and bounds, culminating in the Palomar RejuveLux^TM Process.
 

The RejuveLux Process uses pulsed light to treat the following problems:

Pigmented Lessions: (Sunspots or Age Spots)  occur in response to sun-induced skin injury and appear as dark brown circles, known as Solar Lentigines. There can also be diffuse browning of the skin, known as Actinic Bronzing.
Go to Pigmented Lessions section for more information about it.

Vascular Lesions:
Superficial blue, red, or purple veins under the skin's surface. Some common types include Rosacea (facial inflammation) and Spider Veins (tiny vessels that appear near the surface of the face).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What body areas can I get treated?
A. Any area, except directly around the eyes.

Q. What are RejuveLux treatment sessions like?
A. Quick and easy! After your initial preparation, your treatment provider will move the Palomar pulsed light handpiece over your skin. The handpiece emits a light that breaks up the pigment in the lesions. Most people perceive the light as a gentle "snapping" sensation, which causes little to no discomfort.

Q. What should I expect after treatment?
A. Pigmented lesions will darken slightly after treatment, and then fade away after about 10-14 days.

Vessels (visible veins) generally undergo immediate graying or blanching and the surrounding area may redden. The vessels then fade after about 10-14 days.

Most people experience some mild temporary redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, in the treated area shortly after treatment. This does not interfere with normal activities and usually subsides within a day. In some cases, the redness may last longer, but will still be mild and temporary. We will explain other, less likely side effects to you.

Q. What is the difference between RejuveLux pulsed light and laser treatments?
A. Pulsed-light systems and lasers are very similar and treat lesions in basically the same way. However, the RejuveLux process uses a new technology that removes lesions much faster then lasers. RejuveLux treatments can fit even the busiest person's schedule.
