Pulsed Light: How does it work?
The Photorejuvenation Process is performed by Palomar Pulsed Light Systems. Pulsed Light systems are similar to lasers but with a larger beam for wider coverage and faster, more comfortable treatments. During Photorejuvenation treatments, pulses of filtered light are directed onto the skin and absorbed by the melanin for pigmented lesions and by the blood for vascular lesions. PIGMENTED LESION TREATMENTSThe Photorejuvation light pulse is directly absorbed by the pigment in the lesion. The light heats the pigment and breaks it up. The lesion darkens and crusts after treatment and is naturally shed from the skin after approximately ten days. VASCULAR LESION TREATMENTSPhotorejuvenation light pulses heat the small capillaries that cause telangiectasia, Rosacea and other vascular lesions. The heat shrinks these capillaries, which may redden or become gray after treatment. They then fade from view after approximately ten days.
