PHOTOFACIALS
Improving skin tone is an excellent way to a “more beautiful you.” Palomar’s pulsed light resurfaces and tightens skin by removing fine wrinkles left by years of damage from toxins, aging, and too much fun in the sun. Let us show you how these gentle light pulses treat sun damage to your skin.
Photorejuvenation (photofacial) is effective on the face, arms, chest and other large body areas, with no patient downtime. Our process can remove damage caused by years of sun exposure and minimize the effects of aging.
Our photorejuvenation process uses the optimal wavelength of light to clear vascular and pigmented lesions by targeting hemoglobin (for vascular lesions) and melanin (for pigmented lesions). Once the light is absorbed as heat, the lesion disappears. Pigmented lesions, or age spots, Rosacea and damage from other inflammation are treated in minutes and gone forever.
What is Photorejuvenation?
PhotoRejuvenation is a series of Intense Pulsed Light treatments that improve the appearance of Rosacea, flushing, broken capillaries, sun damaged skin, age spots, skin texture, and photo aging. Treatment also improves mild acne scars, reduces large pores, corrects dark circles around the eyes, and reduces fine lines. Treatments are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest, and hands. This exciting treatment involves little or no "down time." You can resume normal activities immediately.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
For optimal results, a series of 3 to 5 treatments are recommended. Follow-up treatments may be desired once a year to maintain results.
How does the treatment work?
An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat causes damage to the vessel or lesion, and the body begins its natural healing process. The lesion will darken before it flakes off or the body absorbs it. Treatment can be given as frequently as every three weeks.
