Treatment of Skin Redness, Brown Spots and Sun Damage

Introduction – Intense pulsed light treatment by employing a broad spectrum of light energy in a range of wavelengths, supplies high energy levels of light power in millisecond bursts to the skin. This treatment improves sun-damage, age spots (sun-induced freckles), broken capillaries, facial veins, and numerous other facial imperfections. The beauty of this non-invasive treatment is that there is virtually no “down-time”. A treatment takes only 30 minutes, and you can return to work or daily activities immediately. It is administered in a series of 3 to 5 treatment sessions, providing gradual, natural improvement.

The Photo Genesis Difference

Comfort. We have created a pulsed light system that is exceptionally effective for treating skin redness (rosacea), brown spots and sun damage at a very comfortable energy level. There is no need to apply topical anesthetic or gel beforehand, and you can realize remarkable results in just one or two treatments.

What does the treatment do?

The visible light delivered by the Photo Genesis procedure is selectively absorbed by the pigmented spots and red areas on your skin. It’s the heating of the pigmented cells that causes the therapeutic effect.

What do treatments feel like?

When the hand piece is placed on your skin, it will feel cool and comfortable. When the pulse of light is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation.

How many treatments will I need?

Typically, one or two treatments are sufficient to see dramatic results. Additional treatments may be required for very large or dark spots, densely freckled areas, or excessively sun-damaged skin.

When will I see results?

Many clients see significant improvement within two to three weeks of treatment. Your complexion will be clearer and younger looking. However, your final result may not be apparent for a month or more.

Advantages:

Very effective way to reduce and/or eliminate sun-damage within as little as one treatment with no downtime.

Disadvantages:

May take more than one treatment to completely remove pigment. Can treat Fitzpatrick Skin Types I – III and Light IV only. *Cannot treat Darker Skin Type*
