Photorejuvenation is a high-tech aesthetic treatment primarily used to address various skin concerns. 1. It targets pigmentation issues, such as melasma and freckles, by utilizing specific broad-spectrum colored light to break down pigments, resulting in a fairer and more even skin tone. 2. Photorejuvenation also demonstrates significant effects on vascular problems, such as telangiectasia and red acne marks. Through the photothermal effect, it causes dilated blood vessels to constrict and become occluded, thereby reducing their visibility. 3. Additionally, it stimulates collagen production in the skin, improving skin texture by smoothing the complexion, minimizing pores, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Through its unique therapeutic mechanism, photorejuvenation comprehensively addresses pigmentation, vascular concerns, and skin texture irregularities, helping the skin regain a more youthful appearance.
