In general, the effects of photorejuvenation are quite good. Photorejuvenation is an advanced high-tech cosmetic procedure that uses specific broad-spectrum colored light. It directly illuminates the skin surface, penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, and selectively targets subcutaneous pigmentation or blood vessels, breaking down pigmented spots and closing abnormal capillaries. At the same time, the light stimulates the proliferation of subcutaneous collagen.

Photorejuvenation can promote skin regeneration of collagen fibers, helping the elastic fibers and collagen fibers in the dermis regain their original elasticity. This makes the skin tighter and more elastic, achieving a facial rejuvenation effect. It can also improve blood circulation, providing the face with adequate blood supply and nutrients, thereby reducing wrinkles, minimizing pores, and preventing enlarged pores. It is effective in improving mild to moderate skin problems such as freckles, sunspots, broken capillaries (redness), and enlarged pores.

However, it should be noted that the effectiveness of photorejuvenation varies from person to person, depending on individual skin condition, age, lifestyle, and post-treatment care. Usually, multiple treatments are required to achieve visible results, with intervals between sessions to ensure sufficient recovery time for the skin.
