You can use photo rejuvenation for common skin disorders. Photo rejuvenation is widely used as a non-invasive treatment for acne and acne scars. For acne management, the doctor probably will recommend laser treatments and other thermal techniques. Mild acne scarring also might be treated through this process.

Photo rejuvenation might be administered for varicose veins, port wine stains and other lesions. Port wine stains are types of birthmarks that cannot be removed without treatment. They usually respond well to treatments such as pulsed dye lasers. For leg and facial veins, you can opt for injection sclerotherapy where a solution is injected into the vein to force it to close and become scar tissue. This will make it fade from view.
