Photorejuvenation in barcelona

How does laser photorejuvenation treatment work?

Photorejuvenation treatment is performed with IPL laser. This type of light source allows the treatment to be modulated specifically according to the clinical case.

When used for photorejuvenation (exclusively medical treatment), the pulsed light packets that come into contact with the skin are able to stimulate fibroblasts non-invasively, inducing the production of new collagen fibers, which improve the tone of the blood vessel walls, also leading to the filling of fine wrinkles.

Indications for the face, neck, décolleté and hands:

• skin relaxation
• fine wrinkles
• dullness of the skin
• dehydrated skin
• blemishes
• superficial telangiectasias

Before the treatment

In the weeks prior to treatment, and immediately after, it is necessary to avoid exposure to sunlight and/or UV lamps and not to take medications that increase the skin's sensitivity to light.

Sunscreens are essential before exposing the treated area to sunlight to avoid hyperpigmentation. The treatment is performed in an outpatient clinic.

During the treatment

During the pulsed light session, the patient does not feel any painful stimulus, only a slight tingling sensation. The duration depends on the extent of the affected area and the type of intervention, but in general we can say that a single session lasts about 30 minutes.

The interval between sessions and the number of applications varies according to each case and the type of problem.

After the treatment

There will be generalized edema and redness in the treated area, which will tend to dissolve in 24 hours and should be moisturized with emollient creams. Photoprotection is important for one week. Avoid exposure to UV rays and sun lamps and/or sun showers. It takes 4 to 5 treatment sessions to progressively eliminate small unsightly cases.

The treatment is permanently effective; however it is natural that the evolution and aging of the skin causes the appearance of new imperfections that will be evaluated and treated as needed.

The patient can move independently of the treated site and convalescence is not necessary. Specialized medical examination always precedes the first treatment. In fact, each individual, each area of the body of the same subject must be evaluated and defined before starting any treatment.
