Photo Rejuvenation at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic

At Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, our medical aestheticians can help your facial skin return to its youthful appearance with the remarkable effects of photo rejuvenation.

What is Photo Rejuvenation?

Photo rejuvenation is a cosmetic procedure which utilizes the properties of light to effectively treat problems of the skin. Port wine stains, hyper pigmentation, age spots, and sun spots can all be minimized or eliminated with photo rejuvenation at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, in a procedure that does not require invasive (surgical) techniques. After a single treatment, you'll have a better complexion with facial skin that is smoother and appears fresher than before. However, subsequent treatments may be required to achieve desired results. Most patients at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic require anywhere from 2 to 5 treatments, but some only require a single treatment.

The devices used for the photo rejuvenation procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic is the Sciton Profile™ , with the Broadband Light (BBL™) technology module and The StarLux® 500 fitted with the The LuxG™ handpiece.

Broadband Light (BBL™) Technology and The Sciton Profile™

The Sciton Profile™ is a laser system produced by Coherent-AMT, a Canadian based company specializing in offering innovative products for health care.

The laser system uses Broadband Light (BBL™) technology, which delivers pulsed light to heat the skin's uppermost layers to stimulate skin cells and the production of collagen.

The StarLux® 500

The StarLux® 500 is a laser platform manufactured by Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc., an industry leader in the production of laser and pulsed light systems for aesthetic applications. The photofacial rejuvenation procedure is performed by The StarLux® 500 when fitted with The LuxG™ handpiece, specially designed to target pigmented and vascular lesions.

The Photo Rejuvenation Procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinc

The whole procedure takes under an hour, depending on the number of areas to be treated and the severity of the problems in the target area(s). As a matter of fact, it is typical that most procedures take under thirty minutes. Photo rejuvenation is generally painless, but if discomfort is felt, your physician or laser technician at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic will help you alleviate it with the application of a topical anesthesia.

You'll wear safety glasses to protect your eyes during the procedure. When undergoing photofacial rejuvenation with the Sciton Profile™ laser, the only sensation felt will be a brief snap when the device delivers light pulses to the target area.

After the Procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic

Expect some redness following the photofacial procedure, which will gradually disappear within a few hours. Warts, port wine stains, and other such ailments will darken then fade or flake off. It is highly recommended that you wear sunscreen and protect your skin from sun exposure while it heals. Your medical aesthetician will give you a complete list of instructions to follow to ensure that your skin heals properly.
