Laser Photorejuvenation in West Palm Beach, FL
What is laser photorejuvenation?
Thanks to modern technology, lasers can be used to refine the appearance of the skin with minimal downtime. This treatment involves using a special hand piece that emits laser beams that help erase skin irregularities. It can be used to treat the entire face or only certain areas, with each session lasting anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes. After a treatment, patients are allowed to return home and engage in normal activities.
How does laser photorejuvenation work?
When this laser device is run over the surface of the skin, light is absorbed by the body. This helps to eliminate unwanted lesions or fade scars and other imperfections.
How should a patient prepare for treatment?
Tanning should be avoided for a period of time before treatment, as tan skin may streak after a procedure. Patients should also avoid skincare products that contain glycolic acid and Retin-A. In some instances, a physician may recommend a chemical peel shortly before laser photorejuvenation. This should not be performed at home, but instead, should be given under the expert guidance of a board-certified dermatologist such as Dr. Tomar.

Does laser photorejuvenation hurt?

When will results be noticed?
That depends on the severity of the condition. Many patients notice improvement after only one treatment, while others will require multiple treatments.
How many treatments are usually required?
Between one and five sessions could be needed depending on the types of imperfections being removed. These are normally scheduled at about four-week intervals.
What can be expected after a treatment?
