Photofacial (Photorejuvenation)

Photofacials are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures today due to the visible effects of chronic exposure to sunlight. Advanced Fluorescent technology (AFT) pulsed light is applied in a series of gentle pulses to remove age spots (sun-induced freckles), most brown pigmentation and redness due to broken capillaries as well as a to stimulate collagen production. This light based technology targets the area of dermal damage and provides you with a healthier, younger looking skin.

FAQ

  • Is the treatment painful?

    Most people describe the treatments as a gentle snapping sensation with minimal discomfort.

  • What should I expect following the treatment?

    Lesions such as age spots will darken immediately and then fade and disappear within 10-14 days. Visible veins will show an immediate response and will also fade over 10-14 days. It is possible to experience some swelling and redness, similar to that of a sunburn, and usually resolves in 24-72 hours. You may return to your regular activities immediately following the treatment and the area of treatment can be covered with makeup the following day.

  • How many treatments will I need?

    The number of treatments depends upon each individual. Most issues of pigmentation will show a dramatic improvement after one session. Spider veins and broken capillaries often need repeated treatment because these issues lay deeper under the skin. The benefits of collagen production for fine lines become more apparent after several treatments.
