Pre-Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
Prior to your first skin rejuvenation treatment, we will schedule a consultation for you with an American Laser Skincare professional who will take a complete medical history, outline a custom treatment plan and answer all of your questions. Our skincare professionals will also provide an in-depth explanation and present your skin rejuvenation options.
Preparation
For best results, it is important to stay away from indoor, outdoor or sunless tanning and to use sun block with SPF 60 or higher for the course of the skin rejuvenation treatment. You will want to avoid any lotions, creams, makeup, sun block, perfume or any other chemicals or skincare products on the areas to be treated. These can impede the transmission of light, reducing the effectiveness of the skin rejuvenation treatment.

Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
Safe and effective for most skin types, the combination of laser and light energies provides safe and effective way to minimize or eliminate some of the most common and obvious signs of aging or damaged skin, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Our Skin Rejuvenation Protocol is also designed to treat skin conditions like blemishes, vascular and pigmented lesions, and Rosacea. Post-skin rejuvenation treatment, you may also notice tone and texture improvements as a result of increased levels of beneficial collagen and new, healthy skin cells.
In most cases, each skin rejuvenation treatment will be followed in a few weeks by a microdermabrasion treatment. The skin rejuvenation treatment evens your skin tone and increases collagen production, which makes your skin smoother, firmer and more vital and decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion complements the skin rejuvenation treatment by exfoliating the old, dead skin covering the renewed dermal layer far quicker than nature alone would act, bringing the new, more radiant layer to the surface. The Skin Rejuvenation Protocol may also include skin tightening treatments to stimulate natural processes inside your skin to produce collagen resulting in younger looking, firmer skin, and FotoFacial treatments to erase sun damage.
Treatment Time (Duration of Treatment)
Skin rejuvenation sessions last approximately 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the area treated.
What Does Skin Rejuvenation Feel Like?
During treatment, many patients feel a warm, prickly sensation as energy enters their skin. Skin rejuvenation has also been described as a mild, pulsed rubber band snap, which goes away almost immediately.
Post-Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
After the treatment area has been iced for a few minutes, post-procedure lotion should be applied, followed by sun block. This protocol should be continued for 2-3 days post-skin rejuvenation treatment. A pink or red "sunburn" appearance and feeling is also common. It is normal, as well, for pigmented lesions or irregular pigmentation to become temporarily darker after treatment.
