Photo Rejuvenation
Photo Rejuvenation
It is commonly accepted that excessive sun exposure can cause premature ageing to our skin.
Photo Rejuvenation aids in the:
- Fading or reduction of pigmentation, age spots and sun induced freckles
- Reduction of fine broken capillaries, red veins and other minor vascular problems
- Fading of diffuse redness
- Improved skin texture and overall complexion
- Production of Collagen
Your facial skin looks and feels refreshed, dewy and more youthful.
VPL (Variable Pulsed Light) Photo Rejuvenation is a treatment for face, décolletage and the back of the hands. The VPL system safely pulses high energy light through the skin surface, targeting pigmentation in underlying tissue and minor surface blood vessels whilst improving skin texture and overall complexion and encouraging the production of collagen.
You will need to make an appointment for a full consultation prior to treatment, so you can be fully informed of the process, expectations and costs of your individual treatment. Your therapist will recommend the number and frequency of treatments that you may require. Most people need only two to four treatments to achieve the desired results.
Some commonly asked questions
Does it hurt?
There is certainly a sensation, but the light pulses are brief, and can be timed for your level of comfort.
How much will it cost me?
This varies between individuals, and depends on the condition of your skin. During your consultation you will be given a written quote and treatment programme.
Will I have to hide?
Once again, this depends on the severity and extent of your unwanted skin problems. The average person receiving an overall facial treatment for mild marking should expect to look/feel good within a day or two. You can have the treatment at the end of the week, and be fully recovered by Monday.
How long will the good results last?
As long as you protect your face, or skin, from further sun (or wind) damage. However, the normal process of ageing will continue, but this should certainly slow it down.
Is sun exposure really that bad?
Yes. Not only can it be incredibly ageing (lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, dehydration), but also lethal when you consider the amount of melanomas reported in both New Zealand and Australia. We acknowledge that a tanned skin usually looks “healthy.” We suggest using one of the excellent self tanners or spray tans available.
