What is Photorejuvenation?
Photorejuvenation with Cynosure’s Elite IQ technology is an advanced treatment using a versatile laser system to improve the appearance of the skin. This technique safely and effectively addresses signs of aging, sun damage, pigmentation spots, redness, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
- Alexandrite and Nd-YAG Lasers: Elite IQ combines these two types of lasers to treat various skin concerns on different skin types. The Alexandrite laser is particularly effective in targeting pigments like dark spots and redness, while the Nd-YAG is more suited for vascular treatments and skin tightening.
What does the Photorejuvenation treatment involve?
The photorejuvenation treatment using Elite IQ technology involves a high-precision laser to improve various skin conditions mentioned. Here’s what the treatment entails and how it works:
Treatment steps:
- Personalized consultation : Before starting the treatment, we conduct a thorough skin evaluation to identify the areas to be treated. Using our innovative FaceX technology,we deeply analyze skin damage that is invisible to the naked eye. This detailed analysis allows us to create a customized care plan tailored to your skin’s needs. (PHOTO FACEX)
- Protocol Selection To maximize the results of laser technologies, we recommend an appropriate facial treatment to prepare the skin and maximize the benefits of your laser sessions.
- Anti-inflammation care We will start by targeting skin inflammation, which often causes skin irregularities. The best comparison would be to see this step as similar to the proper functioning of your digestive system. Our advanced training has made us aware of skin problems with a different approach. We will use a protocol that allows us, with the Elite IQ to reduce inflammation.
- Chosen protocol Targeting skin damage and tightening with the laser protocol best suited to your skin.
- Duration and number of sessions Each session lasts about 60 minutes. Multiple sessions (usually 3 to 5) are often required to achieve the best results. Photorejuvenation is a gradual process, so improvements appear throughout the sessions.
- Recommended products: We will recommend a home skincare routine for your products.
Recovery : After the session, slight redness or swelling may appear, but they disappear within a few hours to a few days. Tiny scabs may form. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure for a few days, apply sunscreen, and avoid physical exercise for 72 hours.
Note: It is important to note, however, that an initial consultation is required to determine individual eligibility for this treatment.

Maximize results
Recommended treatments to combine with Photorejuvenation:
1- Vitamin Therapy: An innovative electro-sonic technology that helps stimulate the skin, promoting skin rejuvenation and subcutaneous vitamin infusion to maintain collagen. This treatment maximizes results by cleansing the skin and removing dead cells and impurities.
2- Anti-inflammation Treatment: This soothing treatment prevents and reduces chronic inflammation, often responsible for premature skin aging or other skin issues. Ideally, it is performed before each photorejuvenation session.
What is anti-inflammation? An advanced protocol designed to correct skin inflammation, often the root cause of other skin problems.
3- Non-Ablative Fractional Laser: Unlike ablative lasers, which remove the top layers of the skin, non-ablative lasers stimulate collagen production beneath the skin’s surface without damaging the epidermis. This allows for treating fine lines and scars while minimizing recovery time.
5- Potenza (Microneedling with Radiofrequency): This technique combines the benefits of micro needling and radiofrequency to deeply stimulate cellular renewal. This treatment targets firmness scars and improves skin texture, collagen, and elastin production. Thanks to the radiofrequency energy, it delivers visible and long-lasting results.
Contraindications
- Pregnancy and breast-feeding: The treatment is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Active skin infections: Individuals with herpes, severe acne, or other skin infections should avoid this treatment.
- Photosensitizing medications: Those taking medications that make the skin sensitive to light, such as certain antibiotics, should refrain from this treatment.
- Severe dermatological conditions: Patients with psoriasis, eczema, or vitiligo are not suitable candidates.
- Recently tanned skin: Recent exposure to the sun or artificial tanning increases the risk of burns or discoloration.
