What
is Photofacial?
A non-laser, pulsed light treatment that effectively reduces
facial redness and flushing as well as the visible signs
of sun damage and aging.
What areas can be treated?
Virtually any part of your body with sun and age spots
or freckles can be safely treated. The face, chest,
shoulders and arms are the most popular areas for treatment
because
they typically have the most sun exposure. Both discrete
spots and skin densely covered with freckles respond
well to Photofacial.
What do the treatments feel
like?
When the handpiece is placed on your skin it will feel
cool and comfortable. When the pulse of light is delivered,
you may feel a mild brief pinching sensation.
How many
treatments will I need?
Typically, one or two treatments are sufficient to see
dramatic results. Additional treatments may be required
for very large or dark spots or for densely covered areas.
What
happens after the treatment?
Immediately following the treatment, the spots may begin
to darken. You may notice a slight reddening of the surrounding
skin. This typically subsides with a couple of hours.
Over the course of the next one to three weeks, darkened
spots will fade and flake off.
When will I see results?
Most patients find the majority of their treated spots
have shown significant improvement with two to three
weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not
be apparent for a month or more.
