PHOTOREJUVINATION

While discolouration is normal part of the facial aging process that happens to everyone. some people find that for one reason or another, age related marks on the skin negatively impact their self confidence. 

The marks may make them-appear older than they feel on the inside; or there may be other issues that negatively affect them; for example,  

• feeling passed over in business settings
• competing for jobs with younger colleagues 
• feel their appearance and discolouration and other signs of aging are limiting options socially

Social media depicts concern of facial aging as being pure vanity and superficial, but this could not be further from the truth for both men and women. the effects can be far reaching, interfering with daily lives in more ways then simply when they are looking in the mirror. 

Treatment with advanced photorejuvination can have a significant positive impact on a prsons self confidence, however it is not suitable for everyone. 

Before undergoing any treatment it is essential to have your consultation and recommend the best treatment for the best individualised outcomes. 

At Sknspace we are offering treatment with one of the advanced photorejuvinaion  technologies

Multiple sessions are usually required to obtain the final results, the number of sessions depend on the individual client. 4-5 sessions is the average for most clients, 

Once results are achieved they can be long lasting, so long as clients follow the aftercare instructions and continue with lifestyle habits that  do not counteract with the treatments,

Prior to photorejuvination , you will need to prepare, and if certain medications are being taken, or have any underlying medical conditions, you will be advised to seek medical advice, with regards to any special consideration required prior to your treatment.  

Skin needs to be clean, with no creams  or lotions, including make-up remove any jewellery near the treatment area.  

The treatment may feel like a slight 'snap' as the applicator is passed over the treatment area. 

The treatment is not considered painful and does not usually require anaesthetic before hand 

some areas may be more sensitive than others for example the upper lip.  So if it is a little more intense during your first treatment  please let  the practitioner know,  the intensity can be adjusted in order to make it more comfortable during the process. 

You can leave the clinic right away and follow up, after care instructions will be provided, on what to expect and what to avoid after your treatment.  

The effects of the treatment will be subtle initially, but patients undergoing subsequent treatments sessions are likely to see results quicker.

 once the desired results have been reached,  maintenance would need to be carried out , usually around 3-6 months later, depending on how the skin responds to treatment.

Some more obvious after effects of the treatment could include redness which usually disappears within 24 hours,  and some tenderness and swelling in the areas that have been treated 

During this time, you will want to ensure you are following the appropriate follow-up care instructions. 

While you’ll need to be staying well away from exposure to UV rays (whether sunlight or other sources) for up to 4 weeks depending on your skin type.

You should also avoid hot baths, rigorous exercise, massages or any treatment that requires direct contact with the skin for at least 48 hours after treatment.
