Are wrinkles, sunspots, and stubborn redness making your skin look older than you feel? Photorejuvenation is the first step to revitalizing your complexion and restoring that soft, youthful glow you remember.
At Old Town Med Spa, board-certified physicians Dr. Nael Gharbi and Dr. Shazel Gharbi — known as the MD Brothers — personally oversee every photorejuvenation plan. With more than a decade of medical practice and advanced training in laser and light technologies, they are recognized as one of the top cosmetic providers in Chicago.
What Is Photorejuvenation?
Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment that uses targeted wavelengths to refine skin texture and fade discoloration. The light energy penetrates below the surface to stimulate collagen, break up pigment, and calm visible blood vessels — without damaging the outer layer of your skin.
It is one of several advanced skin care options offered alongside our broader laser treatments and medical aesthetics menu at Old Town Med Spa.
Benefits of Photorejuvenation
-
Smoother, healthier-looking skin
-
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
-
A more even, balanced skin tone
-
Less facial redness and visible capillaries
-
Fading of sun damage, age spots, and freckles
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Photorejuvenation is ideal if you are bothered by sun damage, broken capillaries, rosacea, acne, fine lines, or general signs of aging. While the face is the most popular area, the treatment can also be performed on the neck, chest, shoulders, back, arms, hands, and legs — making it a great option if you want a uniformly clear, youthful look across multiple areas.
The Treatment Process
Sessions are quick and comfortable, and they require no anesthesia. Most patients describe the sensation as a light flick of a rubber band against the skin. We recommend spacing treatments about four weeks apart to align with your skin’s natural cell turnover, and most clients benefit from a series of three to five sessions for optimal results.
Recovery and Results
Downtime is minimal. Your skin may appear flushed or slightly swollen for up to 24 hours, especially if you are treating redness or rosacea. Within 10 to 21 days after your first session, you will notice a smoother texture and a more even tone. Subsequent treatments dramatically reduce hyperpigmentation, freckles, and fine lines.
Results are long-lasting, but the skin remains susceptible to new sun damage. Daily SPF and one or two maintenance treatments each year will help preserve your glow.
