The skin is our body’s largest organ and the one which is most visible. It is our body’s first line of defense against the environment. Over time sun, wind, gravity, and hormonal changes begin to take a toll on this highly visible organ.
Our skin is made up of two layers: the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis, or the outer layer, is constantly at work producing cells to replace the dead skin cells which are constantly exfoliated. The dermis, or the inner layer, contains nerve endings, oil and sweat glands, blood vessels as well as the collagen and elastin which support and maintain our skin.
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and lips signal the first signs of aging on our skin.. Deeper lines may form in the face and forehead. Other changes include sun or hormone-induced pigmentation abnormalities and the enlargement of pore size due to loss of elasticity in the skin. All of these contribute to the aging process.
Today with advances in technology options are available that give maximum results in minimal time. Photo skin rejuvenation is one such procedure. Minimally invasive, photo skin rejuvenation removes the superficial layers of the epidermis, leaving deeper layers intact. Photo skin rejuvenation leaves you with smoother, healthier, firmer and younger looking skin. Photo skin rejuvenation can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage area and on the hands. |

Photo Skin Rejuvenation treatment sessions:
A proper skin consultation is first performed by our doctors to determine the patient’s needs and expectations as well as the “needs” of the skin. The appropriate skin treatment is then recommended. A photo skin rejuvenation session can take anywhere from 15-45 minutes depending on the area, condition and the size of the area to be treated. The skin receives pulses of intense laser light delivered through very specific filters. Once delivered, the targeted tissue absorbs the light’s energy which stimulates the production of collagen. As new collagen forms, aging skin begins to take on a more youthful appearance. The length, depth, and severity of fine lines and wrinkles decreases and redness from rosacea diminishes.
Photo skin rejuvenation usually requires anywhere from 4-6 sessions in order to achieve maximum results.
