New RejuveLux™ Process Offers Light-Based Skin Treatments

If you live with sun damage and visible veins on your face, chest, arms, and other areas, there is new hope for a rejuvenated appearance through light-based treatments. The Palomar RejuveLux™ Process employs pulsed light to perform the most effective photofacials available.

The RejuveLux Process is remarkable because it has the versatility to treat both pigmented lesions and vessels safely and effectively, while improving skin tone and texture.

“The RejuveLux Process is accomplished with a Palomar Pulsed Light System,” explains Brent Bellotte MD and Ranya Habash MD “Pulsed light is similar to a laser in that it uses an intense beam of light, but pulsed light can cover a larger body area with each pulse than a laser can, and it is gentler on the skin.”

During RejuveLux treatments, pulses of light are directed onto the skin and absorbed by the melanin in pigmented lesions and the blood in visible vessels. The light heats the pigment and disables the cells that produce it. These dead cells are naturally shed by the body after about two weeks, leaving behind fresh, unblemished skin. In the case of vessels, the light is absorbed by the hemoglobin within the veins, causing them to shrink and fade from view.

“Palomar RejuveLux treatments are safe and effective,” says Brent Bellotte MD and Ranya Habash MD. “Most patients describe the light pulses as a ‘snapping’ sensation, which causes mild discomfort at most. After the treatment, there may be some redness for a few days, but that quickly fades and the patient can enjoy the effects of clearer skin, with improved tone and texture.”
