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.
