Photo Rejuvenation Toronto

As most of us age, we begin to see visible signs of sun damage, uneven pigmentation and other dullness on our skin. This aged look may include freckles, age spots, rosacea, wrinkles, spider veins, enlarged pores and dark circles under eyes, ect. Photorejuvenation, commonly known as photofacial or fotofacial, is the only procedure that can effectively treat these eyesores all at once. With the help of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, great improvement can now be accomplished with little or no "downtime" and with very minimal discomfort.

Our goal is to ensure you receive the best technology available to date. At Q Esthetics, photo rejuvenation procedures are performed with Palomar StarLux 500, the most powerful light-based aesthetic platform in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

How photorejuvenation works?

The Palomar LuxG™ handpiece utilizes 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 by the lesion, the lesion disappears. Doing so also stimulates cells in the target areas, which is necessary for smooth and youthful looking skin.

The Palomar's proprietary dual-filtering technology provides for wavelength-specific treatments, delivering results clinically proven to be as good as or better than the "gold standard" lasers.

What areas can be treated with photorejuvenation?

Photofacial treatments can be used on any part of the skin. They are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest, arms and hands.

What results can I expect?

You can expect to see a gradual decrease in overall redness, flushing and dilated capillaries. People with visible aging from the sun can expect to see their skin become smoother and their sun spots fading. Many people with rosacea see an improvement in breakouts and are able to decrease or discontinue their medications.

What is the photorejuvation treatment like?

Each treatment takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how many areas are treated. A mild amount of discomfort can be expected. Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear red and flushed and tiny capillaries may appear more visible. Brown spots generally appear darker. All of these changes gradually fade over a period of hours or few days.

How soon will I see results?

Most patients notice improvement even after the first treatment. These improvements are gradual and will be more visible after each treatment. For most patients, a series of 3 to 5 treatments is appropriate. Some patients will benefit from additional treatments.
