FAQ's FOR SKIN REJUVENATION

How does the Pitanga rejuvenate my skin?

The Pitanga uses gentle light and electric energies to restore skin to a more youthful state. Brown spots (pigmented imperfections) from sun damage and ageing, red blotchiness from spider vessels or rosacea (vascular imperfections), and rough skin texture will improve over a treatment series.

Is treatment with the Pitanga safe?

Treatment is very safe for the skin. There are many advances in the Pitanga technology that make it unparalleled for skin safety, without compromising effectiveness for treatment. There are no long term health hazards from light or electric energies used in the Pitanga. Both have been used for decades in medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.

What kind of results can I expect from the Pitanga treatment?

Each Pitanga treatment will result in gradual lightening and improvement of pigmented and vascular imperfections. Textural improvements are appreciated towards the end of the treatment series.

How frequently do I need treatment?

Treatments are repeated approximately every month for the average total of 6 treatments.

Does the treatment hurt?

The sensation is often described as “hot pinch”, or “snapping” feeling. The sensation only lasts for a fraction of a second, and you may feel warmth or a tingling sensation for a short time afterward. Most people tolerate the treatment without topical anesthetic, but individuals who are more sensitive may prefer to have the skin numbed prior to treatment. Also as an added bonus to our costumers, we offer a pre cooling system provided by an apparatus called Syner Cool by Syneron, the same maker of the Pitanga. The Syner Cool cools the skin as the treatment is being performed, eliminating any and all discomfort associated with the procedure, thus making the option of having to purchase any additional topical creams obsolete.

What happens after each treatment?

Temporary pinkness in the skin lasts a very short time, and most people return to work or normal activities immediately after treatment. The improvements in pigmented and vascular irregularities can often be appreciated by the time you return for your next treatment a month later. Brown spots temporarily go darker before they lighten.

Who should get the Pitanga treatment for Skin Rejuvenation?

Anyone who wants to improve the signs of sun damage and ageing in the skin, such as pigmented and vascular irregularities, uneven or rough skin texture. Skin rejuvenation can be done on the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms. Discuss your candidacy for this treatment with your Pitanga clinician.
