Light (BBL) Photo Rejuvenation
PREPARATION / PROCEDURE / RECOVERY / RESULTS
This innovative technology sets new standards for the treatment of skin conditions associated with aging, active life-styles and sun damage. The light delivered by the BBL will gently heat the upper layers of your skin to blend in its natural colors including brown discolorations, uneven pigment and redness, while stimulating your skin cells to generate new collagen. The most popular treated areas are the face, neck, chest, back of hands, chest and shoulders.
We recommend a series of 3-6 treatments at 3 week intervals to produce the desired result. You may benefit from additional treatments depending on the severity of your condition.
| Preparation |
 |
Avoid sun exposure and self-tanner at least one week prior to appointment. All make up and lotions need to be removed prior to treatment. Wear comfortable clothing that allows for access to the treated area.
| Procedure |
|
This procedure is gentle, non-invasive, and safe. There should be minimal discomfort, however this varies on the individual and the depth of treatment. A topical anesthetic may be applied if needed. You may briefly feel a rubber band snap or warm sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas. Your procedure may take a few minutes to a half hour depending on the size of the area treated.
| Recovery |
|
This is a non-invasive and gentle procedure with virtually no down-time. In most cases you will be able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities right away. You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For some pigmented lesions you will see a darkening of the treated areas followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. You will be sensitive to ultra-violet light and you must avoid direct exposure to ultra-violet light and you must avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed. Fully cover your skin or use at least SPF 30 whenever you go outdoors.
| Results |
|
Your treated skin will feel smoother, fine wrinkles and pores will be less noticeable, and sun spots or uneven pigmentation will fade. To receive the optimum result, we will customize a skin care product regimen for you to enhance and maintain your skin.
