SKIN REJUVENATION
SKIN REJUVENATION
Skin rejuvenation encompasses a range of innovative treatments designed to revitalize and restore your skin’s youthful appearance. These procedures aim to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity while reducing signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. By targeting various layers of the skin, skin rejuvenation treatments can enhance overall skin quality, making it look firmer, smoother, and more radiant.
Popular skin rejuvenation methods include laser therapy, microneedling, chemical peels, and injectable treatments. Each option offers unique benefits and can be customized to suit individual skin concerns and goals, whether you’re looking to diminish pigmentation, enhance hydration, or promote collagen production.

How does diode skin rejuvenation work?
The diode laser heats the inner dermal structure of the skin whilst simultaneously cooling the superficial skin. This stimulates a repair process resulting in new collagen and elastin forming, which over time rejuvenates the skin, improving the tone, texture and overall appearance of the skin.
What to expect during the procedure
Skin rejuvenation procedures vary depending on the method used. Generally, they involve minimal discomfort and can range from 30 minutes to a few hours. For instance, laser treatments may involve the use of cooling devices or topical numbing agents to ensure comfort, while microneedling utilizes fine needles to create micro-injuries that stimulate healing. You may experience mild redness or swelling post-treatment, but this typically subsides quickly.
How long does it last?
The longevity of skin rejuvenation results varies based on the treatment type and individual factors. Results from procedures like chemical peels may last several weeks, while collagen-stimulating treatments can provide benefits lasting from 6 months to 2 years. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain and enhance results.
Side Effects
Most skin rejuvenation treatments are safe with minimal side effects. Common reactions include temporary redness, swelling, or slight peeling, particularly after chemical peels or laser treatments. These effects usually resolve within a few days. It’s important to discuss your medical history and any skin concerns with your practitioner to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.

– Skincare Regimen: Avoid retinoids, glycolic acid, and other active skincare ingredients for about a week before your procedure, as they can increase skin sensitivity.
