Photorejuvenation offers a non-invasive solution to various skin concerns, from sun damage to uneven tone, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin. However, it’s important to note that results can vary from person to person. Images provided are for illustrative purposes only, showcasing the potential of Photorejuvenation treatments at Dermapure.
At Dermapure, photorejuvenation with intense pulsed light (IPL) is used to treat visible pigment spots, redness and overall skin tone irregularities in a non-invasive way. This service is available in several Dermapure medical aesthetic clinics across the Montreal region.
Photorejuvenation works by delivering pulses of light energy that target and absorb into areas of colour contrast within the skin — such as brown spots caused by sun exposure or small visible blood vessels related to rosacea and couperose. The treatment uses different wavelength filters to reach various layers beneath the surface, allowing for highly personalized care based on your skin’s needs.
Over the following days, some dark spots may temporarily appear more prominent before fading. Mild redness and natural skin shedding are also common, but there’s no required downtime. Gradually, the complexion appears more even, brighter, and refreshed — all while preserving the skin’s natural integrity.
We already know that UV rays alter skin cells by breaking down their DNA chain and negatively impacting the natural production of melanin, collagen and elastin. This partially explains the appearance of brown hyperpigmentation patches, light spots, freckles and dilated blood vessels seen on certain parts of the body.
Since skin on the face, neck and décolleté is more susceptible to UV exposure, intense pulse light treatments can be very beneficial. The back and hands are also popular treatment areas. A full treatment will require approximately one hour in clinic.
Cleansing the skin—starting with a clean “canvas”—is an essential first step in your photorejuvenation session.
Protective eyewear, which may include small blackout goggles, helps protect eyes from light rays. While it is perfectly normal to perceive several flashes of light during the session, your eye protection ensures complete safety at all times.
A protective cooling gel is applied over the entire treatment area to help the applicator glide easily over the skin surface while protecting it from burns. The gel also improves comfort during your session by providing a refreshing cool sensation in contrast to the heat of pulsed light.
Adjusting the parameters on the pulsed light device is part of the treatment process. Since everyone’s skin is different, your technician will assess your individual needs. These include the treatment area itself, your phototype (skin colour) and the extent of lesions to treat. Parameters are not always fixed and are often modified during treatment to adapt to your skin’s reactiveness and, more importantly, to alternate between red spots and pigment spots which manifest at different skin depths.
Feeling the pulsed light on your skin for the very first time can be a bit of a surprise—the initial pinching sensation causes some patients to flinch slightly! The treatment is not painful, however, and the applicator creates a sensation of diffused heat as it glides over the skin. A smaller applicator tip is sometimes uses to treat smaller areas such as the sides/tips of nostrils.
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.
Treatment prices vary based on your individual needs and the specific procedure performed. To learn more about pricing, we invite you to contact your clinic or schedule a consultation with our experts.
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.
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.
