Skin rejuvenation is a laser treatment that diminishes the damage caused by prolonged sun exposure and aging. Treatments require little or no downtime as the epidermis is left fully intact. This non invasive method of treating a range of concerns including dyschromias, telangiectasias, and rosacea make treatments a hit among patients who want a refreshed look, but don’t want to suffer painful procedures or endure days, much less weeks, of downtime.
Quick facts:
- While women make up 80% of the market, the portion of procedures performed on men continues to increase with general social acceptance.1
- Women ages 30-65 make up the majority of patients, though an increasing number of 20 somethings are seeking treatments to delay the onset of aging.1
- 18.3 Million procedures were performed in 2007; projections suggest 28.3 Million procedures by 2009.1
Superior treatments require 532 nm KTP for superficial pigmented and vascular lesions. Treatments utilize contact cooling and precise lesion targeting prior to treatment of greater area.
Clinical Outcomes:
- Gemini® vs. IPL - For subsequent photorejuvenation treatments 14 out of 16 patients chose the 10mm KTP due to increased efficacy, speed and reduced pain during treatment.2
- The (VariLite™ with ScanLite™ Scanner) 532-nm pulsed laseris a safe and effective device for the treatment of the visible signs of photoaging of skin types I-III.
