What is the 3 JUVE device?

• ReSurFACE (2940nm Fractional): retexturizes the skin for maximum smoothness, reducing the appearance of fine lines, tightening pores and erasing any textural irregularities to enhance your natural complexion
• ReBRIGHT (585 IPL): naturally brightens the skin by reducing redness, veins, sunspots and sun damage, resulting in fresh and flawless looking airbrushed skin
• ReMODEL (Radio Frequency): the subtle lifting and firming achieved with ReMODEL is the key to having a natural youthful appearance

All 3 Juve treatments start with an advanced consultation to determine specific treatment goals, after which, a proposed treatment plan can then be tailored to your individual skin depending on the concerns identified: loss of firmness, discolouration, or lines and wrinkles.

• The resurface uses an Er:YAG laser at 2940nm to create tiny micro-spots of ablation (damage) in the epidermis or top layers of the skin, resulting in dramatic skin renewal.
• Fractional resurfacing laser or fractional photo-thermolysis delivers light in an array of high precision micro beams.
• These micro beams create narrow, deep columns of tissue coagulation that penetrate well below the epidermis and into the dermis, whilst sparing the tissue surrounding the columns from damage.
• The coagulated tissue within the columns initiates a natural healing response to accelerate the formation of new healthy tissue. Coagulated cellular debris is expelled as the skin is resurfaced.

• Total skin rejuvenation of facial area
• Mild to moderate lines and wrinkles
• Crêpey skin
• Rejuvenation of sun damage and discoloration
• Vascular and pigmentary changes
• Loss of skin firmness in facial area
• Generalised ageing of the facial skin
• Enlarged pores
• Mild to moderate acne scarring
• Preventative ageing treatments

This process retextures the skin for maximum smoothness, reducing the appearance of lines, tightening pores, and erasing irregularities.

You may need to make a few lifestyle changes before treatment.

To heal well and get the best results from laser treatment, we recommend that patients:

• Quit smoking for at least 2 weeks before laser treatment.
• Stop taking medications and supplements that can delay healing.
• Stop using skin care products that contain a retinoid or glycolic acid for 2 to 4 weeks.
• Take medication to prevent getting cold sores if you’re prone to developing cold sores.
• There should be no active tan or fake tan in the area to be treated. Use of sunbeds or prolonged exposure to sunlight is not allowed in the month prior to treatment and an SPF 30 must be used on the area between treatments.
• Suntans must be left to fade completely before treatment can start. Fake tans and gradual tanning products must also be fully faded before treatment can commence.
• The area to be treated should be free from make-up, perfume, deodorant and body or, face creams.
• A medical history is taken at consultation, but we rely on you to inform us of any changes to this. We need to know of any medication you are taking including those bought from a chemist or herbalist.

You will also be required to have a patch test a week prior to treatment.

• The number of treatments required varies from client to client and is dependent upon many factors. However, a minimum of 3 and up to 9 sessions are recommended depending on the skin concerns being treated.
• Treatments are carried out every 4-6 weeks. Following your course of treatments, top up sessions are performed as required, usually once or twice a year.
• The treatment plan may include more than laser treatment or more than one modality or treatment type depending on the severity of the condition being treated. This is definitely the case for deep acne scars. For example, a patient may require a series of laser treatments in addition to a filler for severe scarring or laser and radio frequency skin tightening if the concern was deep lines and wrinkles and skin laxity.

Results take time to appear.

It can take months to see the results from laser scar treatment, and you may notice little improvement at first.

• Following treatment, the area will appear red and may be swollen. It will feel hot and tender (similar to sunburn) for several hours following treatment. The redness and swelling may last a few days but can be minimised with the application of cold compresses. Facial swelling can be reduced by sleeping with your head raised on pillows.
• Following your aestheticians’ instructions for at-home care after laser treatment will help you see the best results and prevent possible side effects.
• In order to minimise skin heating and to reduce the likelihood of skin reactions, the treatment area will be cooled after the procedure. Once you get home, you may like to apply a cold compress or wet flannels etc. If applying an ice pack at home, always put ice inside a clean plastic bag and wrap in a soft cloth. Do not allow ice packs or ice to come into direct contact with the skin.
• As long as redness remains on the skin after treatment, refrain from indulging in heavy drinking, going to a sauna or heavy exercise. Those activities may increase the redness of your skin.
• The skin will also feel quite tight following treatment and using a soothing, gentle moisturiser for a day or two following treatments can help to relieve this. Test for sensitivity on a small area of skin before applying to the whole face.
• Starting on day 2-3 the skin will appear flaky as it begins to exfoliate and may take on a bronzed appearance as the epidermal debris comes to the surface; this generally lasts for about 5 days. This is a positive sign and indicates that the skin is regenerating. If required 4-5 days after your treatment, you can use a very light exfoliator to help remove the dry/flaky skin (providing the erythema has reduced and skin sensitivity has returned back to normal.
• Keeping the skin well moisturised at this point will also help reduce the risk of tightness.
• Avoid cosmetics for approximately 48hrs after treatment. Mineral make-up can be applied after this time, however when removing, use a very gentle cleanser and a lot of water and try to avoid vigorously rubbing the skin, as this may cause irritation. If the skin at the treatment area becomes broken, then make-up should be avoided until the area is completely healed.
• Avoid hot baths / showers for 24hrs.
• Do not pick at any flaking or crusting that may form.
• The skin will usually return to normal by day 7 to 10, although some flakiness may remain for Up to 14 days.
• Use a sunscreen (SPF 30+) and protect the area from sunlight as much as possible between treatments and for at least one month after treatment ends. Failure to do this can lead to sunburn and hyperpigmentation of the treated area. (Most cases of changes in pigmentation occur when the treated area has been exposed to sunlight or in people with darker skin types).
• If blistering occurs contact the clinic immediately for further advice. Keep the area clean and dry and allow to heal naturally.
• Do not use any lotions or creams on open skin as this may increase the risk of infection. DO NOT pick grazes or blisters – as this may increase the chance of a scar occurring. Once the skin has healed, a high protection sunscreen should be used daily for 12 months to prevent pigmentation changes to the skin.
