Photorejuvenation with Intense Pulsed Light

A new generation of photorejuvenation systems that use the exclusive technology of LHE (Light and Heat Energy) allows us to manage pigmentary and vascular damage, correction of the effects of skin aging and victory in the battle against fine lines and wrinkles in a manner that is rapid, effective and safe.

LHE is not just extraordinarily effective - it is also safe.  The exclusive combination of energy from the light and heat is able to maintain temperature levels less than those used in other therapeutic systems that are also based on the light which leads higher levels of safety without the necessity of cooling the skin.

One treatment of skin photorejuvenation only lasts 30 minutes and requires no preparation or recuperation, giving you the opportunity to make a half day appointment and still be done in time for lunch.

Can I receive a photorejuvenation treatment after having tanned?

It is not recommended.

This system does not burn the skin in any way nor does it result in skin blemishes or spotting.  Nevertheless, if you have just tanned either outdoors or in a tanning salon, it will be necessary for you to wait two to three weeks to receive another photorejunvenation treatment depending on the type of light to be used.

Photorejuvenation

How does LHE photorejuvenation work?

The LHE system works based on the principle of selective photo-thermolysis but only uses the light’s heat and energy in order to achieve maximum efficiency. 

  1. Light from a broad spectrum is applied to the targeted area.
  2. The heat that follows the light pulse breaks down and then accumulates any spots or discolorations that you have from aging or the sun, which are then coagulated in your body’s tissues for later removal.
  3. This light directly attacks the melanin in aging and pigment spots and initiates the recovery process.
  4. The coagulated byproducts are eliminated by the body’s own natural processes and re-used by new cells.
  5. The LHE system produces, in a selective manner, a microtrauma in the most external intact layer of the skin.  This in turn triggers the body’s wound-healing processes to form new collagen underneath.
  6. This results in a skin that is more clean, smooth and youthful.
