Photorejuvenation
What is photorejuvenation?
Photorejuvenation is pulsed light based skin treatments. Skinovate Spa utilizes AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology), via the Orion Harmony (tm) system.

What can be treated?
Your photofacial can remove sun damage, spider veins, uneven skin tone, redness, signs of rosacea, fine lines, light acne scarring and dull skin tone.

How does it work?
Specially selected wavelengths of light penetrate the skin, reaching the "target" (vessels, hyperpigmentation, etc.) with minimal absorption by the healthy skin. The light is converted into heat, which impairs  the target. Your body then heals the target and you are left with younger looking, smoother, more evenly toned skin. This process is called Selective Photothermolysis.

What does it feel like?
AFT provides exceptional results with minimal discomfort. Many clients report the feeling as a "warm snap". AFT is a short, intense shot of light delivered to your skin through an approximately 1x2" surface. It appears as a camera flash and feels warm and quick.

How long does it take?
A typical facial photorejuvenation requires less than 30 minutes of your time.... start to finish. Other areas require even less time. You can reserve an appointment to fit YOUR schedule, whether it is outside of classes, during your lunch hour, or around family commitments.

How long until I can go in public again after my treatment?
Immediately! AFT does not cause visible side effects other than a slight, temporary flushing and a darkening of sun spots. You will not look like you have just come from a typical skin improvement procedure.

How many treatments are required?
Typically, 3-5 treatments are required for maximum results. You will see improvement after 1-2 treatments, and significant improvement after 2-3 treatments. We provide you with follow-up skin care protocols to ensure you receive the most benefit from your treatment.
