The benefits of photorejuvenation depend on the skin condition of each individual. Photorejuvenated treatment is recommended for those of you who have skin problems such as the following:

Rosacea and abnormal redness.
Stretch marks and wrinkles on the face.
Hyperpigmentation, brown spots on the skin, or darkening of the skin due to excessive production of melatonin (skin pigment).
Spider veins.
Melasma.
Before starting treatment, the dermatologist or beautician will apply a cool lubricant to the area of ​​interest to cool the outer layer of the skin during the treatment.

Then, a light wave will be applied to the affected area of ​​the skin. Patients usually feel a warm sensation when light waves hit the skin. The procedure can take a few minutes to an hour.

When skin tissue absorbs light, light energy stimulates the cells underneath to promote the body's natural cell regeneration process.

As a result, the skin can be regenerated and has a smoother texture. Before the first treatment, it is recommended that you:

Avoid sunbathing or exposure to direct sunlight.
Discontinue use of retinoids, tetracyclines, and minocycline several days before treatment.
Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen a week before treatment.
