You've seen the signs. The brown spots, the fine lines, the tiny blood vessels. It's how your skin tells the story of all those years and all that time spent in the sun. Everyone knows the story, but we no longer have to live with the effects of time and sun exposure on our skin.
How Skin Photo Therapy Removes Blemishes
For blemishes (brown, red, and broken blood vessels): Pulsed light penetrates the skin where it is absorbed by the darker pigment cells that make the blemish. The light triggers a photothermal process in the pigment cells that cause them to heat up and coagulate, destroying them. At the same time, heat travels down through the skin to help raise the temperature in the pigment cells, speeding up their destruction. The body's natural processes remove the destroyed cells, causing the blemish to disappear.
For Smooth Skin
Pulsed light and heat penetrate deep beneath the skin to trigger a natural wound healing process. The wound healing process rebuilds new collagen beneath the skin surface, tightening the skin and smoothing it out.
What To Expect
Skin Photo Therapy is non-abrasive and non-invasive. A treatment session lasts 15 minutes or less. Most patients notice results after their first treatment. Complete results usually take 3 to 6 office visits.
