You may have heard of photo
rejuvenation, it has been discussed on TV and radio talk shows, in
magazines, newspapers and of course on the Internet. Maybe you know it involves the use of some
kind of appliance that shines light on the skin. You may even know the names of some of the photo rejuvenation devices that are on
the market. So, if you are among those
that have heard of photo rejuvenation
or photo facial therapy have you
asked yourself “What does that light do anyway?” or “How can light help my
skin?” For that matter what does photorejuvenation mean? Those are good questions.
Let’s start with the easy question. What does photo rejuvenation mean?
Well photo means light and rejuvenate means to make young again. So, photo
rejuvenation…using light to make young again.
Now the tougher question, how can light help my skin
and how can light be a skin care
treatment? I like using analogies to explain things so we’ll use one
here. When you were in school do you
remember learning about how sunlight causes photosynthesis in plants? If you missed that day what your teacher told
your class was that certain light rays from the sun caused the plant to make new
cells and structures causing it to grow.
The sunlight was stimulating the cells.
You have probably figured out that photosynthesis means using light to
make something. OK, that’s for plants,
but your asking how does that apply to me?
Photorejuvenation device
companies have selected only the kinds of light that can have a similar
invigorating effect on our cells. In
fact the light from photo rejuvenation
devices targets little tiny organs in the cells called mitochondria (they are
our cells power generators) and gets them charged up causing the cells to get
busy making more of what they normally make.
So if it’s a cell that makes collagen or elastin you get more collagen
and elastin with the result being younger more vibrant looking skin. Therefore,
light as a natural skin care treatment!
