Photorejuvenation Vancouver
Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive light-based treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver. It uses pulses of intense light delivered at selected wavelengths to target colour contrasts in the skin, such as pigment spots and superficial vascular irregularities, with the goal of supporting a more even, refined complexion.
Photorejuvenation can help address sun-induced brown spots, freckles, dilated capillaries, mild redness associated with conditions such as couperose or rosacea, and overall uneven skin tone on the face, neck, décolleté, back and hands. Results appear gradually over multiple sessions, and the treatment may be paired with complementary in-clinic options such as other skin renewal technologies or medical-grade skincare protocols, depending on individual goals and skin condition.
Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, photorejuvenation at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether photorejuvenation is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session
Preliminary cleansing
Proper eye protection
Applying a protective gel
Setting device parameters
Delivering the pulsed light
Cleaning and post-treatment specialty products
When your session is over, the gel is removed and your skin is cleansed. To help calm the “warming” sensation felt after treatment and to help protect skin, a hydrating cream is applied carefully to the entire treatment area, followed by a mineral sunscreen.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
3 to 5 sessions with a minimum frequency of one per month are normally needed to achieve the very best results. Your skin has its own built-in memory and can “remember” lesions from over the last 10 years; the therapeutic benefits of pulsed light are cumulative so it’s important to follow up to help create a radiant-looking complexion. Subsequently, a light yearly maintenance session ensures that your results are maintained over time.
Contraindications
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should postpone this type of treatment as well as anyone who has been exposed to sunlight in the months before and after each session. Booth tanning, self-tanning products and taking photo-sensitizing medication are forbidden.
