Photorejuvenation – IPL Treatments
This innovative procedure in aesthetic medicine is used to treat a combination of changes in facial skin – changes that are the early and dramatic signs of aging. This technology has been shown to dramatically improve acne in people of all ages by destroying the bacteria associated with acne and slowing down teh production of sebum or oil in the sebaceous glands. Using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), this no-downtime, non-invasive, painless technique is ideal for people with active lifestyles.

- Fast resolution of current acne breakouts and a long remission time between treatments without any drug-related side effects.
Photorejuvenation
According to Dr. Loss, Photorejuvenation can be a better alternative to traditional laser resurfacing, chemical peels or dermabrasion because, “it gives us a very effective means to improve appearance without prolonged downtime.”
Several studies now document that more than 50% of patients report a greater than 75% overall improvement in appearance with diminished redness, wrinkles, irregular pigmentation, and skin texture.
To further rejuvenate the face, other techniques can be incorporated, including Botox injections to eliminate frown/smile lines, fat transfer for deep folds, and a non-surgical face lift to tighten facial muscles.
A typical photorejuvenation program consists of five 30-minute sessions every three weeks. It’s a true “lunchtime” procedure requiring no downtime and no anesthesia. If you think you might benefit from photorejuvenation, contact us to schedule a private consultation.
