Photo-Rejuvenation

Photo-rejuvenation uses pulses of light to improve overall skin tone and texture, fading redness, sun damage and uneven pigment while encouraging a fresher, more even complexion. It treats the whole skin surface rather than a single spot, which makes it well suited to general signs of ageing and environmental damage on the face, neck or hands. At JCTL it is delivered as a comfortable, low-downtime treatment, typically over a short course.

Photo-rejuvenation is a light-based skin treatment that addresses several signs of ageing and sun damage at once. Pulses of broad-spectrum light are absorbed by targets in the skin — particularly excess pigment and the tiny vessels behind redness — while the warmth delivered to the deeper skin is associated with stimulation of collagen. Over a course, this can even out tone, soften diffuse redness, fade sun-induced pigment and improve the skin's overall texture and brightness. At JCTL the skin is cleansed and prepared before treatment, which takes around half an hour depending on the area. A cooling sensation and brief flashes of light are typical, and the treatment is generally comfortable with minimal downtime; pigmented spots may darken briefly before flaking away over the following days. Because the effect is gradual and cumulative, photo-rejuvenation is usually delivered as a short course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, with maintenance as needed. It is well suited to adults whose main concerns are uneven tone, sun damage, blotchy redness or dullness across the face, neck, décolleté or hands, rather than deep lines or volume loss. Avoiding sun exposure before and after a course is important for safety and results, and suitability for your skin is confirmed at the free consultation.
