The RejuveLux Process
We all want clear skin, but nature has a way of sabotaging us with frustrating
imperfections. Fortunately, photofacial technology (which uses lasers
and pulsed light to remove skin imperfections) has grown by leaps and
bounds.
The RejuveLux Process uses pulsed light to treat the following problems:
Pigmented Lesions (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.
Vascular Lesions-Superficial blue, red, 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:
What body areas can I get treated?
Any area, except directly around the eyes. The face, neck, chest, area,
hands, legs, etc. can all be treated quickly and safely.
What are Rejuvelux treatment sessions like?
Quick and easy! After your initial preparation, your treatment provider
will move the pulsed light hand piece over your skin. The hand piece emits
light as a gentle “snapping” sensation, which causes little
to no discomfort.
What should I expect after treatment?
Pigmented lesions will darken slightly after treatment, and then fade
away after 10-14 days. Vessels (visible veins) generally undergo immediate
graying or blanching and the surrounding area 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.
Your treatment provider will explain other, less likely side effects to
you.
What is the difference between RejuveLux pulsed light and
laser treatments?
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 than lasers. RejuveLux
treatments can fit even the busiest person’s schedule.
Will the Treatments Hurt?
The IPL that we use, "the Starlux", uses a unique long pulsewidth that delivers energy to the skin over a relatively long period of time. This makes the pulses safer and more comfortable. Our IPL is also unique because it has a built in cooling system (so that the handpiece is always ice cold against the skin) which makes the treatment much more comfortable and virtually impossible to burn or hurt the skin. You may experience a feeling similar to that of a rubber band being snapped on the skin, but most people do not report this sensation as painful.
Are There Any Adverse Reactions to Treatment?
You may experience temporary redness and a mild “sunburn”- like effect that may last a few hours to a few days. After photofacials on the face you may have some swelling under the eye area. Icing the treated area immediately after the treatment is highly recommended to prevent swelling or puffiness.
