What is Skin Rejuvenation?
Our skin is the most visible sign of our aging. As skin ages, it becomes thinner and more laxed. Collagen and elastin, the tissues that keep the skin firm, become weaker and due to gravity the skin begins to sag. Furthermore, due to a lifetime of sun exposure, superficial blemishes may become more noticeable. The goal of skin rejuvenation is to restore skin to a more youthful look by helping reduce the appearance of aging and sun damage. HOW DOES LASER SKIN REJUVENATION WORK? Laser stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.” Lasers work by producing an intense beam of bright light that travels in one direction. The laser beam can vaporize and remove wrinkles, scars, and blemishes; seal blood vessels; or go deeper into skin tissue. There are two categories of laser: ablative and nonablative. Ablative lasers work by removing the top layer of the skin, the epidermis. The subsequent layer under the epidermis (the papillary dermis) is heated by the lasers to ca
The pigmented lesions (age spots) commonly found on the hands and face, due to excessive sun exposure, is the abnormal production of melanin which makes it visible on the skin surface. When the cells containing excess melanin are hit by the light they heat up and are destroyed. The goal of the treatment is to remove pigmented lesions as a result of sun damage and increase the production of collagen to improve the texture of the skin leaving the client with a younger and fresher looking face. Although this is a popular treatment for the face it can be used to treat any other areas of the body. The treatment As with hair removal there will be a consultation and skin test prior to treatment. A full face treatment with Ellipse takes less than 20 minutes and the client should expect to have 1-3 treatments (depending on the amount of skin damage) before they obtain the desired results.
