Photorejuvenation

Our Dermal Practitioners and Clinicans specialise in treating and managing a vast array of skin problems such as pigmentation, rosacea, visible capillaries, acne, scarring and premature skin aging due to sun exposure. The Palomar StarLux™ SIPL used by our practice is only one of a few machines in Australia with FDA approval for Rejuvenation procedures enabling us to deliver greater power when needed thus ensuring superior results. The patented “smooth pulse” technology, integrated cooling and variable wavelengths and pulsewidths reduce the chance of the typical side effects that can be seen with other systems.

Unlike invasive surgery, Photorejuvenation is a “Walk-in, Walk out” procedure and thanks to our lastest technology, most of our patients can resume most normal activities or go back to work immediately. A full face can be treated in just under an hour, making it an ideal “lunch-time” procedure. The procedure is safe enough for application on the neck, chest and hands.

How laser works

Pulses of safe filtered light that are selectively attracted to the pigment in skin (melanin) and pigment in blood (heomoglobin) are emitted into the skin. This vaporises them into much smaller molecules that are either then absorbed via the lymphatic system or removed by the body (micro-crusting). In addition, the bulk heating causes our cells to produce more collagen and elastin to help with fine lines, scarring and overall texture.

In the past, the only remedy for pigmented or vascular lesions was to cover them with make-up or use bleaching products. More recently, treatments such as electrodessication, sclerotherapy, dermabrasion, cryosurgery, and other techniques have been tried, but results are unpredictable, and many leave a scar or a visible white, unpigmented area.

SIPL technology has come a long way in the treatment of cosmetic blemishes caused by vascular and pigmented changes or abnormalities. Everything from large port-wine stains to unwanted freckles can now be significantly faded, if not completely erased.
