We all want clear skin, but nature has a way of sabotaging us with frustrating imperfections. Luckily, photofacial technology, a type of Photorejuvenation (which uses lasers and pulsed light to remove skin imperfections) has been growing in leaps and bounds, culminating in the Palomar Process.

Pigmented Lesions (Sunspots or Age Spots) - occur in response to sun-induced skin injury and appear as dark brown circles, known as Solar Lentigines. There can also be diffuse browning of the skin, known as Actinic Bronzing.

Vascular Lesions - superficial blue, red or purple veins under the skin's surface. Some common types include Rosacea (facial inflammation) and Spider Veins (tiny vessels that appear near the surface of the face).

What is it?
It is a series of gentle treatments that will gradually improve the texture of your skin, decrease redness and broken capillaries and also lighten dark spots on your skin. You may also notice that your pores may appear tighter and some fine lines may dissipate.

What body areas can I get treated?
Any area, except directly around the eyes. The face, neck, chest, upper back, arms, hands, legs, etc. can all be treated quickly and safely.

What are treatment sessions like?
Quick and easy! After your initial preparation, your treatment provider will move the Palomar pulsed light handpiece over your skin. The handpiece emits a light that breaks up the pigment in the lesions. Most people perceive the light as a gentle "snapping" sensation, which causes little to no discomfort.

How many treatments do I need?
The average is five, usually one treatment every three weeks. Clients with brown or pigmented skin will notice a significant change after two treatments. Clients with reds or flushing will notice a significant change after three treatments. The final two-three treatments will continue to improve the colour, texture and pores.

How long does a session take?
Generally a full face takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Larger areas will take longer, hands less.
