Restore a natural youthful beauty to your skin with no downtime.

Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments are full face, neck and/or chest treatments using pulses of laser light that effectively improve facial redness and flushing as well as the visible signs of sun damage and aging.

Enhanced Rejuvenation is similar in efficacy to FotoFacial™ treatments and was developed by a board-certified dermatologist as a non-invasive method to rejuvenate and improve skin with no downtime.

This procedure is customized to your specific needs in that we use two lasers, and can spot treat where necessary with appropriate energy problem areas, then paint the whole face, neck and, chest.  SEE OUR SPECIALS!

Specific settings are selected for each treatment to maximize improvement. The first laser used targets veins and the brown spots or hyper pigmentation. Then a second laser is used for further smoothing and tightening of the skin.

A series of three or more treatments are performed at three-four week intervals. The benefits of Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments are consistent, visible improvement in the skin with no downtime, little discomfort and minimal risk.

With Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments for the first time the embarrassing redness and flushing of rosacea can be dramatically reduced and sun damaged, aging skin can be noticeably improved.

What are the indications for Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments?

Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments are beneficial in the treatment of the following:

1. Treatments effectively reduce redness and flushing.

2. Sun damage (Photo-aging). Treatments reduce fine wrinkling, freckling and irregular pigmentation.

3. Treatments smooth skin and reduce pores.

4. Treatments reduce irregular pigment and even skin tone.

5. Rosacea – Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments reduce the overall redness, flushing and dilated capillaries and improve the breakouts of this common chronic facial condition.

What areas can be treated?

Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments can be used on any part of the skin. They are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, and chest.

What results can I expect?

You can expect to see a gradual decrease in overall redness, flushing and dilated capillaries. People with visible aging from the sun can expect to see their skin become smoother with a decrease in fine wrinkles, reduction in pore size and fading of sunspots. Many people with rosacea see an improvement in breakouts and are able to decrease or discontinue their medications.

What are Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments like?

Each treatment takes approximately 30 minutes. People with more sensitive skin may prefer to use ELA-MAX¨, a topical anesthetic cream. When ELA-MAX® is used 30 to 60 minutes before treatment there is almost no discomfort with treatment. There is no discomfort after treatments. Immediately following a treatment, the skin may appear red and flushed and tiny capillaries may appear more visible. Brown spots generally appear darker. All of these changes gradually fade over a period of hours to a few days.

How soon will I see results?

After your first treatment, your skin will feel smoother and will have a more even tone. These improvements are gradual and will be more visible after each treatment. Three to six treatments are performed for optimal results. Some patients will benefit from additional treatments. After 6 Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments occasionally to will want a maintenance to stimulate more toning and smoothing. These are at reduced rates for our clients benefit.

Am I a candidate for Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments?

The best candidates for Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments are:

• People who suffer from rosacea and experience flushing and redness of their skin

• People with early aging changes and sun damage who desire healthier more youthful appearing skin

• People who don't want to take the time off the heal from laser resurfacing or chemical peels

• Active people who want to improve of their skin but do not want to interfere with social or outdoor activities

Chemical peels; laser resurfacing and microdermabrasion (e.g. Power Peels) are ineffective in reducing redness and flushing or dilated capillaries. Prior to Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments there was no effective treatment for flushing or facial and neck redness.

With Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments there is less discomfort and no downtime or disruptions to normal activities. The end result of Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments is smoother, healthier and younger-appearing skin. There is collagen stimulation over time, and a toning takes place.

Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments can be beneficial after laser resurfacing or facelift surgery to improve results.

Enhanced Rejuvenation treatments can also be used in conjunction with chemical peeling or microdermabrasion to enhance the results of these procedures.
