If your skin looks dull and lifeless or has suffered excessive sun or acne damage, you may want to consider a Revlite® laser skin resurfacing procedure. It can quickly rejuvenate the skin and reduce fine lines and pore size.
What exactly is laser skin resurfacing with Revlite®?
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses light energy to:
1. Gently stimulate the growth of natural collagen, which will reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Restore skin from sun damage (enlarged pores and pigmentation)
3. Eliminates dark lesions and sun spots
4. Remove tattoos
1. Stimulation of natural collagen growth and reduction of wrinkles.
Collagen is the support network of our skin. Unfortunately, as we age we lose collagen and as a consequence wrinkles and fine lines appear on our face. If new collagen is generated, both fine lines and wrinkles are reduced. Apart from the face it can also be used for the hands, neck and chest.
2. Restoration of skin from sun damage
Most of us will have had too much sun exposure, which can lead to increased pore size, skin pigmentation, discoloration, and red areas on the skin. Laser skin resurfacing with Revlite® helps to decrease pore size, smooth skin texture, and brighten skin tone. Overall, it leads to a refreshed appearance and younger looking skin.
3. Eliminates dark lesions and sun spots
Laser skin resurfacing targets and removes brown age spots, liver spots, freckles, and other brown birthmarks. The most common lesions are removed in one or two treatments.
4. Tattoo removal
Revlite® was voted the best tattoo removal laser by a leading beauty magazine.
How does it work?
During the treatment, a soft laser is used to pass light through the top layer of skin. This laser heat stimulates the growth of collagen deep within the skin. The effects of laser treatment will continue even after your treatment and you will see a difference once the fine lines are filled in with new collagen. The heat from the laser will also have an effect on the discolored parts of the face, as these pigmented areas break up and reabsorb into the skin.
What are the main benefits of laser skin resurfacing with revlite®?
– Unlike laser skin resurfacing, this laser treatment does not remove the skin, so there is no recovery time.
– Safe and comfortable since the heat pulses are very short and fast (and therefore do not heat the skin as much as other lasers).
– Quick procedure with great results.
– Minimal discomfort (just a tingling sensation).
– Low risk of complications.
– It can be used for all skin types, including tanned skin.
– Continuous improvement of skin texture and fine lines even after treatment.
– The treatment is easily combined with other cosmetic procedures for even more amazing results.
Are there possible side effects of Revlite® laser treatment?
The Revlite® laser used for skin rejuvenation is one of the safest lasers on the market today. As long as the treatment is performed by a trained medical professional, there is very little chance of complications. This laser treatment is also safe for all skin types.
What happens during the treatment session?
1. First, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and laser goggles are placed over the eyes.
2. You can then choose to receive topical anesthesia (but many find this unnecessary).
3. Microdermabrasion (exfoliation of dead skin cells from the skin’s surface) is followed by gentle extractions.
3. Then the laser treatment begins and an invisible laser beam is directed towards your face heating the deeper layers of your skin.
4. Gentlewaves ® LED treatment, which enhances the skin’s healing process, will complete your treatment.
What can I expect after a treatment?
You may see some slight redness, but this usually fades within an hour. Makeup can be applied immediately after treatment and you can continue with your normal daily activities. You may be asked to avoid the sun and/or some skin products (such as Retin A) for a limited time after treatment.
Although you may see an immediate improvement in your skin, the results tend to show more gradually. It is recommended to have at least 4-6 treatments spaced 3-5 weeks apart for best results. Many choose to return for touch-up sessions after that.
