Pulsed Light Photofacials LUX-G (www.palomar.com)

We all want clear skin, but nature has a way of sabotaging us with frustrating imperfections, especially as we age and sun damage accumulates.

Fortunate, skin rejuvenation has advanced beyond the painful procedures of the past. The Palomar rejuvelax process offers comfortable and effective photofacials for the treatment of sun damage and visible veins.

How does Palomar pulsed light work? 

Palomar Systems use specialized hand pieces which filter light from the different parts of the spectrum. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength that is ideal for different treatment, such as sunspot removal and vessel clearance.

The Palomar RejuveLux hand-pieces emit pulses of the light in to the skin. The light is absorbed by the pigment in sunspots and the blood in visible vessels, and converted to heat. The heat dissolves the cells that create the pigment and shrinks the vessels.

How is Palomar pulsed light different from a laser? 

Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar, but Palomar Pulsed Light System uses a much larger treatment window than most lasers. This spreads light over a wider area of the skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result.

What body areas can I get treated? 

Any area; except directly around the eyes. The face, neck, chest, arms, back and legs can all be treated.

What are Palomar rejuvelax treatments like?  

Your treatment provider will move the hand-piece over your skin, pulsing it all the while. Each pulse will send a beam of the light through your skin. A flashing light, an audible tone and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the hand piece is being pulsed.

What should I expect after treatment?

- Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts 2-24 hours, and can be soothed with cold gel or ice packs.

- Sunspots/Sun Damage: the sunspots will darken after treatment and be naturally shed from the skin within 1-2 weeks.

- Rosacea: skin tone will be more normal, with less pronounced redness within a week after treatment.

- Spider veins: vessels may disappear after treatment or they may appear darker and then fully or partially fade within 10-14 days.

- Typically, several treatments will be necessary to achieve complete clearance of sunspots, rosacea and vessels.
