AFT Skin Rejuvenation
What is AFT Skin Rejuvenation?
AFT Skin Rejuvenation is a series of light
treatments that improve the appearance of Rosacea, flushing, sun damaged
skin, age spots, skin texture, and photo aging. The treatment also
improves mild acne scars, reduces large pores, corrects dark circles
around the eyes, and reduces fine lines. This exciting treatment
involves little or no "down time". You can resume normal activities
immediately.

How does the treatment work?
An intense light is applied in a series of gentle
pulses over the treatment area. Without damaging the skin, the light
penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated
vessels or pigmentation. The heat impairs the vessel or lesion, and the
body begins its natural healing process. The lesion will darken before
it flakes off or is absorbed by the body. Treatment can be given as
frequently as every three weeks.
How many treatments will I need?
For optimal results, a series of 5 treatments are
recommended. Some patients see significant improvement in 2 to 3
treatments; others require more. Follow-up treatments may be desired
once a year to maintain results.
What is a treatment like?
Treatment may vary from 15 to 45 minutes. When the
pulse of a light is delivered, the sensation of discomfort is minimal.
The gel is then removed, the skin cleansed, and a sunblock is applied. A
topical anesthesia can be used for maximum comfort, for sensitive skin a
cool compress is applied.
Are there any possible side effects?
Side effects are rare. Immediately following
treatment, the skin may appear flushed, brown pigmented spots may appear
darker, and capillaries may be more visible. In rare instances,
temporary swelling and/or blistering can occur. Limiting sun exposure
for several weeks before and after treatment will greatly minimize the
risk of complications.
What improvement will I see?
Patients have a high degree of satisfaction with
their results. Many have seen 70% to 90% improvement. After successive
treatments, the skin will feel smoother and appear to have a more even
tone.
An AFT light therapy approach to eliminating
unwanted hair provides the ultimate treatment solution. Unlike many
other treatment methods, AFT Hair Removal leaves your skin looking and
