Clear, beautiful, blemish-free skin is something we all aspire to. While some of us feel the effects of years of sunbathing or skin that has been over-exposed to the weather, others are dealing with specific skin conditions such as acne or Rosacea. All of these types of blemishes can make us want to cover up or hide our skin rather than face the world.
Rejuvenations' Palomar StarLux™ Process will give you a fast and painless way to experience smooth, clear skin and the poise and self-assurance that comes with it.
Gentle pulsed light technology
The StarLux™ Process uses pulsed light, rather than laser, to treat sunspots, age spots, and superficial blue, red or purple veins under the skin's surface. It can also diffuse browning of the skin known as Actinic Bronzing, and treat breakouts of Rosacea and acne.
The StarLux™ Process treatment is faster and easier than most laser treatments. A pulsed light handpiece is moved over the skin, emitting light that breaks up the pigment in skin lesions or breaks down the tiny colored capillaries. Most people perceive the light as a gentle "snapping" sensation, which causes little to no discomfort. Any area of the body can be treated, including the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs. The only area that must be avoided is directly around the eyes.
Fast and Long-Lasting Results
Pigmented lesions will darken slightly after treatment, then fade away after about 10-14 days. If you are treating broken capillaries or spider veins, the vessels generally undergo immediate graying or blanching and the surrounding area may redden. The vessels then fade after about 10-14 days. You may experience some mild temporary redness similar to a sunburn, but this does not interfere with normal activities and usually subsides within a day.
And the results of your treatment will last, leaving you with the smooth, clear skin you've been dreaming of.

Photo Facial with Levulan® Treatment
There is a new addition to our Photo Facial procedure that can substantially enhance your results. Known as Photodynamic Therapy or PDT, a photosensitizing agent in the form of topical cream is applied to the area for a short time before the photo facial. The photosensitizing agent we use is Levulan (aminolevulinic acid). Levulan is absorbed selectively by those cells in the skin that produce pigment, the blood vessels that make our skin red and cause rosacea, superficial premalignant skin lesions known as actinic keratosis, and cells infected with acne causing bacteria. When the IPL energy from the photo facial hits the skin, the Levulan in the affected cells is converted into a chemical that releases free oxygen radicals destroying the cells into which it has been taken up. Levulan multiplies the effect and thereby the benefits of the photo facial treatment by targeting specific cells for destruction. Most technicians who have performed both consider the photo facial with Levulan equal to about three standard photo facial treatments.
