PREJUVE

So today I am getting a PREJUVE treatment. PREJUVE refers to pre rejuvenation. Now, at almost sixty six I am well beyond pre rejuvenation and need full fledged rejuvenation but because I have been doing treatments so long, I do these PREJUVE treatments as a booster to maintain my improvement. So, step one is the Exilis Ultra. This is a radiofrequency plus ultrasound device. This device is for deep tissue heating and collagen contraction. The purpose of it here is to lift my brows and my cheeks and my jawline and for my neck. We are going to do the entire face and the neck. Now this is deeply penetrating radiofrequency and ultrasound. And we will do this for about thirty minutes so we can cover all of the areas. Then we will come back with the second portion of PREJUVE which is Genesis. Laser Genesis is a 10-64 laser. This will help my superficial skin tone and texture. So think of this as rejuvenation in three dimensions, deeper and then more superficial. The 10-64 is going to help with pores and small discolorations on my face especially dilated deep capillaries and help a little bit with pigmentation. But mostly it is going to refine my pores and improve the surface appearance of my skin to give it a wonderful surface texture and glow.

So now we are doing part II of the PREJUVE energy facial. So the first taping was of the Exilis Ultra Device which is radiofrequency and ultrasound for deep heating and tightening. Now we are doing laser Genesis. Laser Genesis is a micropulsed very fast rapid 10-64 that we use in our practice for a number of things. We use it for general rejuvenation when you want no downtime. There is actually a series of 6 done every 2 – 4 weeks and then improve pores, improve the texture of the skin. It actually helps also with active acne and mild acne scarring. The reason it helps with acne is the deep heating goes to the level of the skin where the pilo sebaceous unit is and where acne actually begins and it actually shrinks the pilo sebaceous units and makes it more likely that your pores will stay clear and there isn’t any inflammatory effect to decrease the inflammation of the acne in those enlarged pilo sebaceous units. So what we are using it for is for general rejuvenation. Now it works particularly well in conjunction with the Exilis device because the Exilis device is done first. When treating deep and superficial we almost always treat the deeper component first and then the superficial component but also the Exilis treatment causes some redness which gives the 10-64 a little bit more target and a little bit more heating because heating is what generates your improvement. So I do this when I want to improve the tone, texture and tightening of my face and neck without any downtime at all and little to no pain. It is best done for most people in a series of a minimum of three up to six. But I just do them every now and then as a booster since I do so many more other aggressive lasers in between so I don’t always have to do anything in a series because I am just using this as a booster for my Fraxel, for my Thermage, for my XLV and IPL and all those other slightly more aggressive things that I do.
