Years of sun damage can do quite a number on your skin. And sadly, age spots, rosacea, pigmentation and discolouration are all common skin concerns that can add ten years or more to your appearance. Fortunately, our incredibly-experienced laser technicians here at Elements can help reverse those signs of aging and turn back the clock to reveal clearer, smoother and younger looking skin instantly!
If you’re looking for a fast, safe and effective way to take years off the look of your skin using a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime, then you’ve come to the right place. Dr. Adibfar and his highly-trained, successful and experienced laser technicians can address a wide range of skin conditions (brought on by aging and sun damage) using the latest in broadband light technology to remove age spots, skin blemishes and freckles, while addressing any facial redness, flushing, rosacea, and bacteria.
Here at Elements, we specialize in using a photo rejuvenation system known as Sciton BBL, a broadband light device that treats visible signs of aging using appropriate wave lengths adapted by Elements’ laser technicians, who expertly tailor treatments to match a patient’s distinct skin condition and desired results. They do this by adjusting the machine settings to the patient’s appropriate skin type while making sure to test the skin before continuing with the full procedure.
The treatment involves applying a clear, cool, ultrasonic gel that protects the skin from excessive heat during application. The light delivered by the BBL system gently heats the outer layers of the skin, allowing for the absorbed heat to stimulate skin cells to produce new collagen, a vital structural protein responsible for healthy skin elasticity and a youthful appearance. The system can specifically target sun spots and fine vessels that cause redness and are responsible for pigmented lesions. Quickly after receiving treatment, skin pigments begin to lighten and patients report improved skin tone and texture. The procedure itself is gentle, non-invasive, safe, quick and comfortable. Patients are typically able to apply makeup and return to work and resume their day-to-day activities immediately.
The BBL Sciton system can be used anywhere on the body, however is most popularly used over areas of the body most exposed to sunlight. These include the face, neck, shoulders, chest and back of the hands. Patients are happy to report that their freckles and age spots fade, redness and flushing lessens, and small facial veins disappear resulting in younger, fresher, more clear looking skin.
Typically, patients are advised to undergo one to three short treatments depending on the severity of their skin’s condition. Elements’ highly-qualified laser technicians perform a comprehensive examination of every patient’s skin type to determine how many sessions would prove most effective, as well as the space between sessions.
