Photorejuvenation
Benefits/How It Works
Benefits:
A non-invasive treatment that provides lasting improvement to sun damage, flushing and rosacea leading to a refreshed appearance. Enhanced removal of brown spots may result by addition of microdermabrasion between treatments (Photorejuvenation Plus). And for treatment of the reds and browns as well as precancerous sun damage, photodynamic therapy may be added (Photorejuvenation Boost).
How It Works:
The Quantum SR/DL uses patented IPL™ (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, the gold standard for photorejuvenation. The Quantum has built in additional safety with an actively cooled treatment head to protect the skin. A broad spectrum of therapeutic light penetrates into the collagen layer of the skin. Addition of the Quantum Nd: YAG laser can help fine lines especially on the face, neck, chest and hands where sun damage is apparent.
