Photorejuvenation, also known as the Fotofacial is one of the most highly effective treatments for the reduction of facial redness, face veins, pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles.

This treatment has impressive results in reducing the ageing effects of sun damage as well as reducing the effects of facial redness. Used in conjunction with skin peels and microdermabrasion, photorejuvenation can have a dramatic effect on acne and acne scarring.

Developed by a US dermatologist, the non-invasive treatment involves applying pulses of visible white light with a non-laser medical device to the full face, neck and/or chest areas. At Woodford Medical we use the Palomar StarLux Laser and Light system, renowned for its developments in technology to continually produce impressive patient results. The StarLux technology ensures patient comfort during treatments is a priority.

After a series of three to five treatments performed at three to four weekly intervals, patients see a visible improvement in the appearance and texture of the skin. The treatment takes about 20 minutes with minimal discomfort and the skin will look smoother and less red even after the very first session. There is minimal recovery time required so you could can go back to work or the family immediately after the treatment.

Patients can expect to be rid of brown spots and visible red capillaries as well as see a dramatic reduction in other skin pigmentation and fine lines.
