Medico-aesthetic of the face
Non-aggressive skin rejuvenation procedure
Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses high-energy light to improve the quality of the skin. The non-ablative filtered light treats the epidermis without harming the surface of the skin tissue. The energy transmitted is absorbed by the epidermis and targets the specific areas we want to treat. Studies have shown that regular photorejuvenation treatments actually slowed the aging process in the areas that were treated.
Photorejenuvation can be used to treat the face, neck, hands, or body. This procedure has become one of the most common medical-aesthetic treatments in North America. The main focus of treatment is to:
- Reduce redness and rosacea;
- Improve pore size and overall appearance, tone and texture of the skin;
- Improve overall complexion by reducing the presence of solar lentigines (brown spots and freckles that appear on sun-exposed skin);
- Mitigation of fine lines and wrinkles.
The photorejuvenation procedure induces the production of collagen and stimulates the matrix of the skin. Photorejenuvation effectively targets various superficial skin concerns at once, including sun-damaged skin, rosacea, facial telangiectasias (fine hairs), hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, and improves overall color, texture and tone of the skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
How photorejenuvation is done?
Different technologies will be used to induce in your skin the changes in texture, uniformization of complexion etc.
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) session are the cornerstone of the treatment

How many treatments are needed?
Following your personalized assessment, we will be able to focus on the issue that led you to consult us. Depending on the choice of treatments you will make.
The peels cause an exfoliation of the epidermis and make this skin much more transparent to IPL light. This technique will maximize the effects of pulsed light and are often an integral part of photorejenuvation. Usually, we recommend 1 or 2 peeling sessions when deemed necessary.
Some people will need a single session, but effectiveness will usually be achieved in most patients with 2 to 3 treatments to get the desired results, at intervals of 3 weeks.
For some people, the treatment will be more elaborate and may also include laser treatments to specifically target a certain more important problem (such as more severe pigment spots or rosacea).
