REWARDS OF SKIN REJUVENATION
• Removes most brown and red pigmentation

• Improves dull complexions, large pores, red flushing skin and rosacea

• Gives skin a smoother, more even toned look

• Little or no discomfort

• No downtime

TURNING BACK THE CLOCK
As we age, our skin reflects damage from the sun, the elements and the wear-and-tear of daily life. In response, we often seek aesthetic procedures to restore a fresh and youthful appearance. Photorejuvenation (one of the most popular cosmetic procedures today), provides the ideal answer. By removing age spots (sun-induced freckles), most brown pigmentation and redness due to broken capillaries, these treatments help ‘turn back the clock’. And with no downtime, AFT technology is ideally suited for today’s active lifestyles.

AFT rejuvenation also improves dull complexions, uneven pigmentation and large pores, as well as red flushing skin and rosacea.

THE AFT PULSED LIGHT ADVANTAGE
Delivering gentle, subtle improvements, AFT pulsed light gives your skin a younger appearance. You skin will appear naturally even-toned and healthy, without the artificial look of other cosmetic treatments. Unlike deep laser resurfacing and chemical peels, AFT is not accompanied by an extended period of redness and swelling, nor does it involve ablation of the upper layer of skin. Microdermabrasion has limited utility, it is ineffective in countering redness, flushing and broken capillaries.

HOW DOES AFT PULSED LIGHT TECHNOLOGY WORK?
AFT’s selective pulsed light energy is precisely absorbed by the target areas, without damaging healthy skin. Selectively heating and closing off blood vessels, AFT pulsed light reduces the lesions, while sparing nearby tissue from injury. With pigmented lesions (sun spots) the light energy heats the melanin in the lesion and causes it to fragment. The melanin fragments are then absorbed by the body and eliminated.

IS IT SAFE?
AFT’s pulsed light’s gentle energy parameters assure safe, effective treatment. Uniquely shaped AFT pulses precisely heat their intended targets, causing remarkably little or no skin damage or discomfort. Clinical trials conducted by leading authorities on pulsed light document its safety and effectiveness.

DOES IT HURT?
While pain tolerance is an individual matter, most people tolerate AFT pulsed light treatment well, with little to no discomfort. When targeting individual sunspots or veins, most people describe the sensation as a rubber band snap to the skin. The majority of patients require no anaesthesia, though tropical anaesthetic is an option for sensitive areas.

TREATMENT – WHAT TO EXPECT?
AFT photorejuvenation treatments range from 15 to 30 minutes. First, the
treatment area is cleansed and a cool gel is applied. The light pulse is then delivered, with little or no discomfort. After treatment, the gel is removed and the skin is cleansed. You can resume all regular activities immediately.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NECESSARY?
Treatment generally involves a series of 3-6 sessions. While some patients see significance improvement in two or three treatments, others may require more. To maintain results, patients may opt for follow-up treatments.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Side effects are rare. Immediately following treatment, the skin may appear flushed, brown pigmented spots may appear darker and capillaries may be more visible. To help guarantee the best results, limit your exposure to the sun for several weeks before and after treatment.
