Is photorejuvention a safe procedure?

Yes: The term "photorejuvenation" can have many meanings, but generally refers to treating the skin with light energy to achieve improvement. Another similar term is "photofacial". Typically an intense pulsed light (ipl) type "laser" device is used to reduce red and brown spots and improve fine lines by causing minor inflammation below the skin surface leading to collagen remodelling.

Usually: Just make sure the device used is suitable for your skin type to reduce risks.

Yes: Photorejuvenation also known as ipl can be very safe when performed by an experienced provider. Although not usually performed by physicians, it is a technology that should be supervised by a physician. Safety is an issue of picking the right settings given the skin type (more aggressive settings for fair skin and less so for darker skin). Marc yune, md www.Aestheticspecialtycentre.Com.

Yes: Scars & hypopientation are most salient risks.

Photofacial: I assume you're referring to a photofacial. This is generally performed with intense pulsed light (ipl) which is essentially a very bright light of a small range of wavelengths. There is very temporary discomfort only with each pulse delivered to the skin, and it is possible to change your skin's pigment, though often people have a photofacial to remove areas of pigment from their face. It's safe.

IPL generally safe: Yes, it is typically a very safe procedure in the proper candidate if performed by a knowledgeable and skilled practitioner.

Yes: Intense pulsed light (ipl) is a popular form of photofacial and is very safe when administered or supervised by a trained physician.

The skin must be protected from sun exposure after treatment.
