TL;DR
Skin rejuvenation is the process of clearing built up dead skin cells and supporting collagen and elastin production, so skin looks smoother, firmer, and more even. At Rejuvenate Wellness Centre in Rockhampton, the La Fontaine facial treatment does this by exfoliating the stratum corneum, the skin's outer layer, directly. Clinical studies linked to the treatment recorded around a 20% increase in elastin activity. A free skin assessment is available before booking.
The short answer: skin rejuvenation changes texture and firmness. It works by removing the built up layer of dead skin cells on the surface, known as the stratum corneum, and encouraging the skin underneath to produce more collagen and elastin. The result is skin that looks smoother, feels softer, and holds its shape better. At Rejuvenate Wellness Centre in Rockhampton, this happens through the La Fontaine facial treatment, a non-invasive option that works directly on the outer skin layer rather than covering it with product.
What Is Skin Rejuvenation and Why Does It Matter?
Skin naturally sheds dead cells from its outer layer, the stratum corneum, on an ongoing cycle. As that cycle slows down with age, sun exposure, or dry weather, dead cells build up faster than they shed. That buildup is what makes skin look dull, feel rough, and show fine lines more clearly.
This kind of treatment speeds that natural process along. Rather than waiting for skin to shed on its own, a rejuvenation treatment clears the buildup directly and supports the collagen and elastin underneath. For most clients in Rockhampton dealing with dry-season skin, that means a visible change in texture within one session rather than weeks of home skincare.
Common signs skin needs rejuvenation:
- Rough or flaky texture, especially across the cheeks and forehead
- Dull, uneven tone that concealer does not fully fix
- Fine lines that look more obvious by the end of the day
- Skin that feels tight or looks dry despite regular moisturiser
Why Does Winter Skin Need Extra Attention?
Cooler months are hard on skin. Lower humidity and indoor heating pull moisture from the outer layer, and the natural shedding cycle slows down further. Weeks of dry, dead surface cells build up on the face, which is why skin often looks flaky, uneven, and dull by the end of winter.
That buildup does not clear on its own once the weather warms up. It needs to be actively removed. This is where a treatment that works directly on the stratum corneum matters more than a heavier moisturiser or a change in skincare routine.
How Does the La Fontaine Treatment Work for Skin Rejuvenation?
The La Fontaine facial treatment uses a handheld device to exfoliate the stratum corneum directly, rather than relying on acids, scrubs, or at-home exfoliants to do the work over time. A therapist at Rejuvenate Wellness Centre applies the device across the face in-clinic, targeting the outer layer where dead cell buildup sits.
That direct approach is the whole mechanism behind the treatment. There is no lengthy downtime and no layered product routine required afterward. For clients around Rockhampton who want visible results from a single session, that mechanism is the main reason the treatment is used for this rather than general skincare maintenance.
What Does the Research Say About La Fontaine and Skin Rejuvenation Results?
Independent clinical studies linked to the La Fontaine treatment measured two things: a real reduction in stratum corneum thickness, and an increase in elastin activity of around 20%. Those are the same measurements used to track skin rejuvenation outcomes in a clinical setting, not just a before and after photo.
In practice, that translates to skin that measures smoother and more even in tone. Before and after comparisons taken at Rejuvenate Wellness Centre show the same pattern: reduced surface texture and a more even complexion along the jawline and cheeks. As with any skin treatment, individual results vary and are best confirmed with a therapist during a skin assessment.
How Soon Will You See Results After Treatment?
Most clients notice a difference in skin texture immediately after the session, while still in the treatment room. That is because the treatment works on the surface layer directly, rather than triggering a slower biological response that takes days or weeks to show.
Longer-term changes, like the elastin increase measured in clinical studies, build over a course of sessions. A therapist at Rejuvenate Wellness Centre can map out a realistic schedule based on current skin condition during the free skin assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is skin rejuvenation?
A: Skin rejuvenation is the process of clearing built up dead skin cells from the skin's outer layer and supporting collagen and elastin underneath, so skin looks smoother, firmer, and more even in tone. It can be done through in-clinic treatments, like La Fontaine, or gradually through skincare, though clinical treatments tend to show results faster.
Q: How does the La Fontaine treatment work?
A: La Fontaine uses a handheld device to exfoliate the stratum corneum, the skin's outer layer, directly during an in-clinic session. It does not rely on acids or scrubs. Most clients notice smoother texture immediately after the session, with longer-term firmness building over a course of treatments.
Q: Is this treatment only needed in winter?
A: No, but winter often makes buildup more noticeable. Lower humidity and indoor heating slow the skin's natural shedding cycle, so dead cells accumulate faster. Treatments can be booked any time of year, though many clients choose to start before spring.
Q: How many sessions does it take to see results?
A: Many clients notice a texture change after a single session, since the treatment works on the surface layer directly. Deeper changes, like increased elastin activity, build gradually over a course of sessions. A therapist can recommend a schedule during the free assessment.
Q: Is the La Fontaine treatment safe for all skin types?
A: La Fontaine is a non-invasive treatment with no significant downtime, but suitability still depends on individual skin condition. A free skin assessment at Rejuvenate Wellness Centre lets a therapist check your skin and confirm whether the treatment is a good fit before you book.
Q: How much does the treatment cost?
A: Pricing depends on the treatment plan and number of sessions recommended after your assessment. Rejuvenate Wellness Centre offers a free, no obligation skin assessment first, so you know the recommended approach and cost before committing to anything.
The Bottom Line
Skin rejuvenation comes down to clearing dead cell buildup and supporting the skin's own collagen and elastin production, and how quickly you see results depends on how directly a treatment reaches the stratum corneum. The La Fontaine facial treatment at Rejuvenate Wellness Centre does that directly, with clinically measured results and no lengthy downtime.
