…Along With
Freckles And Other Skin Problems
The sun can wreak havoc on your complexion. It literally “photoages” your skin, causing age spots (sun-induced freckles), spider veins on the nose, cheek and mouth, dilated capillaries, broken capillaries, skin discoloration, and uneven skin color.
None of which are going to get you a date on Saturday night.
Luckily, there is an effective treatment for all of these unsightly conditions: our PhotoGenesis Light Therapy.
PhotoGenesis Will Even Out Skin Tones And Improve Complexion
PhotoGenesis, also known as Limelight or IPL, is a laser procedure that delivers intense pulsed light wavelengths that break apart damaged skin cells and promotes collagen growth. Basically, the light triggers the body’s natural skin renewal process. It creates a slight bit of damage, which the body responds to by naturally producing collagen. As collagen is rebuilt, age spots and other pigmented areas begin to disappear. Over the course of about 10 days, the pigmented areas become darker, move to the surface of the skin and then slough off.
What Happens During The Procedure?
First, we apply a cooling gel and give you protective eyewear. Then, we gently apply the smooth, glass surface of the PhotoGenesis hand piece to the skin. Light is delivered to the skin surface in precise pulses.
How Is This Different Than The Other Laser Treatments You Offer?
Other treatments like the Ultherapy Laser procedure treat only the deeper layers of the skin, not its surface. PhotoGenesis, on the other hand, treats only the superficial layer of the skin — the area with visible signs of damage. While the process is similar (light pulses delivered to promote collagen growth), PhotoGenesis’ effect is on damaged areas of the skin’s surface.

How Long Does It Take?
Each session lasts about 20 minutes, but it depends on the extent of the skin damage.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Everyone responds differently, but on average, four to six treatments are recommended, scheduled at three-week intervals. It all depends on the severity of the damage.
Are There Side Effects?
The skin may become sensitive shortly after the procedure, and any redness typically lasts for about one to two hours.
What Kind Of Skin Conditions Does It Treat?
PhotoGenesis, or IPL, treats the following:
• Age spots (also known as liver spots, though they have nothing to do with the liver)
• Sun-induced freckles
• Symptoms of rosacea
• Birthmarks
• Red splotches
• Discoloration
• Spider veins
• Acne scarring
• Broken capillaries
• Brown pigment blemishes
• Other blemishes and sun damage
• Other color irregularities
Does The Procedure Hurt?
The intensity of the light is easily adjusted to your comfort level. In general, it feels like a mild pinching or stinging sensation. Sort of like a slight pop with a warm rubber band. We use a cooling gel and the laser’s built-in chiller to cool the skin before and after each light pulse.
Is There Any Down Time?
No. In fact, you can schedule your sessions during your lunch breaks.
When Will I See Results?
You will see significant changes in two to four weeks. Because healing is based on the skin’s natural renewal process, improvements will continue for several months.
