How does photo rejuvenation work?
As we age, the skin loses elasticity, wrinkles appear, and pigmentation increases. Photorejuvenation is an advanced technique that uses light pulses to stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration processes.
Benefits of photo rejuvenation:
- Reduces signs of aging – minimizes pigmentation and improves skin texture.
- Stimulates collagen production – enhances skin firmness and elasticity.
- Reactivates cellular regeneration – progressively improves skin appearance.
💡 A recent study revealed that after treatment, 1,293 genes linked to youthful skin were reactivated.
Scientific evidence: proven results
Numerous studies confirm that photo rejuvenation alters gene expression in the skin, contributing to its rejuvenation.
What did scientists discover?
- Reactivation of youth-related genes, including ZMPSTE24 and IGF1R.
- Proven safety – the treatment does not damage skin tissues.
- Visible improvements – smoother, more even, and radiant skin after just a few sessions.
💡 The study used the BBL system to provide the necessary light spectrum for the treatment, but it was not the core focus of the procedure.
How to optimize results with skincare?
After a photo rejuvenation treatment, the skin needs a specialized care routine to maintain and prolong results.
Key ingredients for post-treatment skincare:
- Antioxidants (vitamin C, resveratrol, silymarin) – protects against oxidative stress.
- Peptides – stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis.
- Hyaluronic acid – provides deep hydration and skin renewal.
- Vitamin A (retinol) – accelerates cellular regeneration.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Unlike lasers, photo rejuvenation does not damage the skin, making it a gentler and safer option.
On advanced photo rejuvenation systems, the first results are noticeable after just one session: skin tone is more even, pigmentation is reduced, and capillaries are less visible. After 2-4 weeks, the skin appears healthier and more radiant.
The results can last for several months, especially with an appropriate skincare routine. To maintain long-term effects, it is recommended to undergo a course of 3-4 treatments every 6 or 12 months, depending on skin needs.
Conclusion
Photo rejuvenation is a safe and scientifically proven method that allows you to achieve youthful skin without invasive procedures. Thanks to this technology, skin beauty is restored at the cellular level, not just cosmetically improved.
