Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation for the Treatment for Sun Damaged Skin and Wrinkles

We're pleased to offer Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation , a revolutionary skin treatment using multiple laser wavelengths to eliminate and reduce pigmentation, broken capillaries, wrinkles and improve facial toning. It is appropriate for the face but also for the chest, neck, and hands - anywhere that sun damage shows.

What are the benefits?

  • Stimulates the skin’s collagen layer to reduce wrinkles and fine lines
  • Treats sun damage, including age spots and brown pigmentation
  • Improves rosacea, broken blood vessels, red and blue facial veins
Skin rejuvenation is a gentle laser treatment requiring no down time. It is appropriate for the face but also for the chest, neck, and hands — anywhere that sun damage shows.

Enhanced skin rejuvenation is a wonderful, cost effective alternative for patients who want a more youthful appearance without needles, cosmetic surgery or weeks of recovery time.

Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation is ideal for eliminating a variety of problems including:
  • Premature skin wrinkling and increased pigmentation (Lentigines), resulting from frequent sunshine exposure.
  • Broken capillaries
  • Wrinkles
  • Rosacea
  • Spider veins
  • Age spots/sun spots
  • Large Pores
  • Freckles
  • Flushing
  • Pigmentation variances

How does it work?

Laser light is absorbed by pigmented areas where it is converted to heat, causing a breakup in the pigment. In broken capillaries and spider veins, the laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the blood and collapses the unwanted vein. For wrinkles and skin toning, the laser stimulates collagen growth. One of our staff members here at Maine Laser Skin Care will analyze your skin condition and help you select the most effective treatment for you.

When will you see results?

Effects are cumulative. After the first treatment you will see improvements to broken capillaries, small facial veins and some pigmented areas within a few days. Other improvements such as wrinkle reduction and toning will be more subtle and may take one to three months. Friends may suggest that you look more rested. With each subsequent treatment, subtle changes will accumulate until you have achieved the improvement you desire.

How often can you have it done?

A series of three to six treatments, spaced two to four weeks apart, is our standard recommendation. Occasionally, more treatments may be needed for certain individuals or conditions. Periodic occasional maintenance treatments may be prescribed for optimal, lasting results.

What can you expect immediately post-treatment?

Immediately following the procedure you may experience some redness, swelling and/or a slight darkening of pigmented areas. The redness and swelling usually dissipate within one to three days however, darkened pigmentation may persist and peel lightly for up to one week. Makeup can be applied to the treated area immediately, if necessary. Additionally, hair growth may be impaired in the treated area, although it is not the intended purpose of this particular treatment. It is extremely important to apply a moisturizer with SPF30 sunblock and avoid sun exposure on a daily basis to prevent additional sun damage.

How long does it take?

This treatment takes approximately 15-30 minutes. Prescribed topical anesthetics, available at the office, should be applied 15-30 minutes before the treatment time if needed.
