Freckles, age spots, redness, and fine lines can all make skin appear older than it feels. Over time, sun exposure and environmental factors take their toll, leading to pigmentation changes, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone. For those who want a smoother, brighter complexion without downtime, advanced light-based treatments offer a safe and effective option.
At Lehigh Valley Weight Loss, Wellness, and Aesthetics, patients can restore healthier, more youthful-looking skin with photorejuvenation. Under the expert care of John Scaffidi, MD, FABOM, FACOG, a board-certified gynecologist and medical bariatrician with decades of clinical experience, this noninvasive treatment reduces blemishes and revitalizes the skin. Dr. Scaffidi’s extensive training and specialization in aesthetic medicine ensure that every session is safe, precise, and results-driven.
What is Photorejuvenation?
Photorejuvenation is a cosmetic treatment that uses Pico Laser energy to target sun damage, discoloration, and visible signs of aging. This laser penetrates beneath the skin’s surface, breaking down unwanted pigmentation and stimulating new collagen production. Sometimes called the “ultimate skin eraser,” Pico Laser effectively addresses a wide range of concerns, including:
- Tattoos
- Skin discoloration and blemishes
- Sun spots, age spots, and freckles
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Spider veins and broken capillaries
- Hemangiomas (purple skin spots)
- Cheek redness and rosacea
- Acne and acne-related redness
- Telangiectasias (visible capillaries)
- Melasma (brown patches)
- Rosacea
Because photorejuvenation is gentle and noninvasive, it is an excellent choice for patients seeking comfortable, effective improvements in skin tone and texture without downtime.
What Happens During Treatment?
A typical photorejuvenation session takes about 30 minutes. During the procedure, a handheld device delivers pulses of light energy across the skin. Patients often describe the sensation as a gentle warmth or mild snapping feeling, but the treatment is well tolerated and does not require anesthesia.
What Can I Expect After Photorejuvenation?
Following treatment, patients may notice temporary redness or swelling similar to a mild sunburn. Freckles and other pigmented spots will darken and appear dry for several days before naturally flaking off. Recovery usually lasts between two and five days, depending on skin sensitivity and treatment intensity.
Noticeable improvements in pigmentation, vascular lesions, and overall skin texture often appear within one week. For best results, patients typically undergo three to four treatments spaced two to six weeks apart. Once the initial series is complete, maintenance sessions once or twice a year help preserve the results.
How Long Do Results Last?
Photorejuvenation provides long-lasting improvements when paired with good skin care practices. Protecting the skin from further sun damage helps prolong the results and reduces the risk of new pigmentation developing. Many patients find that ongoing annual maintenance allows them to enjoy a smoother, more even complexion year-round.
