Photorejuvenation

If you want to achieve uniform, healthy, vibrant skin, we can help you get there with a photorejuvenation treatment plan. At Franklin Skin and Laser in Franklin, TN, we offer different laser treatments with state-of-the-art laser technology that can remove discoloration, the signs of aging, and various vascular lesions from the skin through quick and comfortable treatments.

We don’t rely on BBL or IPL devices at Franklin Skin and Laser to perform our photorejuvenation treatments. Instead, we use true medical-grade laser devices that can deliver thermal light energy directly into the skin to reach varying depths to deliver versatile treatments. Unlike BBL and IPL treatments, our medical-grade lasers target specific skin issues with accuracy, precision, and perfection without contributing to or causing pigmentary issues.

These laser treatments use light energy to remove damaged skin cells contributing to skin conditions, imperfections, and aging-related skin concerns. We can combine treatments for optimal results, as they can address both brown and red imperfections, including the most stubborn skin spots, and effectively treat deeper skin tones. Our treatments can:

Reduce the appearance of skin scarring
Reverse sun damage
Eliminate freckles, sun spots, and other brown spots
Remove redness and prominent blood vessels
Rejuvenate and resurface the skin
Promote increased collagen and elastin production

Am I a Candidate?

Patients who want to improve their skin, tone, and texture by treating discoloration or textural irregularities make good candidates for a photorejuvenation treatment plan. Our wide range of powerful laser devices allows us to target all different skin types and tones and help patients achieve their ideal results.

Patients who don’t have vascular lesions or textural irregularities but want to reverse the signs of aging, like lines and wrinkles, and experience overall skin rejuvenation also make good candidates for photorejuvenation treatment plans.

Your Consultation

Before we schedule your treatment, we will schedule an initial consultation to evaluate the areas you want to treat and make treatment recommendations. At this consultation, we will give you more information about our laser devices, how they work, what you can expect from the treatment, and how to prepare for your photorejuvenation treatment session.

Do the Treatments Require Downtime?

One of the benefits of our laser photorejuvenation treatments is that you won’t have to plan around significant downtime. You can resume your normal daily activities after your treatment, but you will need to be mindful that your skin will be more sensitive for the first few days. You’ll see your skin improve as the body responds to the treatment and produces more collagen, but in the meantime, you’ll need to follow some aftercare instructions.

We will give you detailed instructions about how to care for your skin and whether you will need to avoid certain products in the days following your treatment to avoid irritation and inflammation.

Achieve Vibrant Skin

You don’t have to live with an uneven skin tone or textural irregularities that detract from the appearance of your skin and make you feel less confident. We offer versatile and customizable photorejuvenation treatment plans that can help restore even and healthy-looking skin.

Restore your skin’s youth with Photorejuvenation

Collagen is one of the ingredients essential to youthful, healthy skin. Collagen keeps our skin strong and elastic. With age, the body produces less of this vital substance and we begin to notice signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles. With photorejuvenation, can help minimize the effects of time and sun damage.

Laser photorejuvenation is an enhanced treatment that is an excellent solution for a number of different concerns that occur as the skin ages. With a series of convenient treatments, it is possible to see a significant improvement in concerns such as scarring, sun damage, freckles and sun spots, redness, prominent blood vessels, and more. Our laser treatments are all performed with brand new lasers, promoting optimal results with the latest technology.

The reason that photorejuvenation works so well is that it brings forth the power of healing collagen for the natural rebuilding of the skin’s underlying structure. With each pass of our hand held laser instrument, specific wavelengths of focused light also break up vessels and to reduce pigmentation in sun spots, scars, and other markings on the skin.

There are several reasons patients from Franklin, Cool Springs, and surrounding areas take advantage of laser photorejuvenation:

No downtime

Safely address multiple concerns

Gradual, subtle results with very little risk

Customized to skin type and need

Photorejuvenation treatments take only a short time and are only mildly uncomfortable. Sessions are performed every few weeks, though results can be seen after your very first treatment. Initially after treatment, spots on the skin will darken slightly before beginning to fade away. The skin may also appear slightly swollen for a day or so after treatments. These minor side effects do not get in the way of normal activities.

It is possible to grow healthy new collagen. At Franklin Skin and Laser in Cool Springs, this can be accomplished with photorejuvenation.

Your experienced Cool Springs aesthetic physician has the knowledge, the expertise, and the right technology to help you achieve your goals. Contact our office today for your consultation.
