Photo Rejuvenation is a pulsed light treatment that targets the signs of premature ageing, pigmentation and sun spots on the face, chest and hands. Photo rejuvenation is also great for reducing redness, treating broken capillaries, red veins and minor vascular issues. Did we mention it boosts collagen production too? Say hello to more even, glowing skin with this treatment at Caci.
I've had several of these treatments and while not for the faint-hearted, it's one where you will see instant results. Let me walk you through it.
Once your face is all clean, a jelly is put on the skin to create a layer of protection. Then the pulsed light is used to go over the skin in sections. It can feel a bit hot (so always make sure to say something if so) a light flashes, and then onto the next section.
Photo Rejuvenation uses a pulsed light which safely pulses high-energy light beams through the skin surface, targeting skin pigmentation in the underlying tissue and minor surface blood vessels. The light wavelengths are attracted to the melanin (pigment in the skin) and to oxy-haemoglobin (red blood). This is also why folks with lots of melanin (darker olive all the way to black) aren't suitable for this treatment. However if you're like me, and all shades of ghost white 90% of the year - this is your jam.
This pulsed light treatment generates heat and stimulates an inflammatory response in the skin, triggering a healing process that results in a reduction of pigment and red blood vessels. Once the pigment has been targeted, it comes to the surface of the skin, which then flakes away, leaving an improved skin texture and complexion. Photo Rejuvenation also encourages the production of collagen in the skin, for a more youthful appearance.

I would note that this treatment is best to do in winter when there is less sun and pigmentations will be darker for several days after while they start to flake so keep that in mind when making plans.
