Photo Rejuvenation in Toronto

Recently, photo rejuvenation (also spelled photorejuvenation and photo facial) has become a popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure. It is becoming highly requested of cosmetic surgeons in Toronto as well as medical aestheticians. At Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, it is often requested in cases where individuals prefer a non-invasive means of getting rid of various kinds of skin blemishes, such as wrinkles and age spots. What many don't initially realize though, is the range of conditions that photo rejuvenation and photo facial can be used to treat.

What Skin Conditions Photorejuvenation Can Treat

Aside from the typical age spots, fine lines, scars and wrinkles, photo rejuvenation at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic can also be used to treat Rosacea, solar lentigines, facial veins, birth marks, brown spots, port wine stains, poikiloderma, burn erythema and forms of hyper pigmentation. This is partly what contributes to its popularity in Toronto as a non-surgical cosmetic procedure: the array of skin conditions that can be treated.

And while any part of the body can be treated, it's most often used to target certain areas. These are areas of the skin that tend to get damaged due to over exposure to the sun. Typically, the upper body and face are the most commonly treated areas by photo facial rejuvenation, which is why the procedure is often referred to as a photo facial.

Factors in the Photo Rejuvenation Procedure

It's not uncommon for there to be two to five sessions of photo rejuvenation, which are performed two to four weeks apart. This is in order to achieve the desired results. However, a great deal also depends upon the individual themselves. Variables such as the condition itself, severity and area being treated all have an impact. For this reason, it's important to get a qualified opinion as to how many sessions may be required from a medical professional in Toronto.

The Initial Consultation

An initial consultation with a medical professional is crucial in order to determine the suitability of the procedure. This is in addition to setting realistic goals as to what can be accomplished through photo rejuvenation and the photo facial procedure.

The procedure itself is non-invasive and there is very little pain involved. The time required to perform a single session can vary based on the severity and variety of skin conditions being treated. However, it is generally anywhere between a half hour to an hour. Some individuals may also consider combining it with other cosmetic procedures. This, again, should be discussed during the initial consultation to ensure that other treatments are compatible with photo facial.

Photo rejuvenation represents an important new cosmetic procedure in the treatment of skin conditions at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. The use of Broadband Light technology (BBL™) and the Sciton Profile™, as well as The StarLux® 500, for this cosmetic procedure is a safe, nearly painless way to achieve that more youthful look. And as with any cosmetic procedure, an initial consultation with a qualified medical professional should be considered essential.
