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 leeps and bounds, culminating in the Palomar
RejuveLux Process. 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, 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).
You don’t have to live with these imperfections!
Palomar has developed the Palomar Family of Pulsed Light Systems to
remove your pigmented and vascular lesions to improve your skin texture and tone
with quick and easy treatments. Rejuvenate
your skin with the RejuveLux Process!
Frequently Asked Questions:
What body areas can
I get treated?
Any area, except directly around the eyes.
The face, neck, chest, arms, 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 Palmar 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 gently “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 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. Your treatment
provider will explain other, less likely side effects to you.
What is the
difference between RejuvelLux pulsed light and laser treatments?
Pulsed-light systems and lasers are 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.
