Photo Facial / Photorejuvenation

Photorejuvenation represents a breakthrough in age-defying skin care. This new technique treats skin damage non-invasively - there is no disruption of the skin's epidermal surface and no downtime.  

This patented technology provides dramatic results for a variety of benign conditions, including age spots, sun-induced freckles, symptoms of rosacea, birthmarks, unsightly veins, acne scarring and other blemishes. The treatment also helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles, resulting in a quasi-facelift.

Photorejuvenation is the most versatile of all treatment options. Patients often schedule appointments during their lunch hours. Sutera's photorejuvenation can treat numerous skin conditions at once. In addition to facial areas, Sutera also treats the neck, chest and hands, where sun damage is often most visible.

During treatment, laser light is absorbed by the pigment in these blemishes, heating and breaking up the spots or tiny veins. Shortly thereafter the destroyed spots or veins are reabsorbed by the blood and disappear. In the case of eliminating fine wrinkles, the laser light provides sufficient energy to the dermis to stimulate bloodflow and collagen growth in the area, thus filling in wrinkles and reducing their appearance.

Complete results typically require four to six sessions of about 20 minutes each, performed at three-week intervals.  Our clients can return to normal activity immediately after each session.
