If you are looking for a way to get rid of lines and wrinkles as
well as giving your skin an even tone, the Photofacial may be
perfect for you. This non surgical skin treatment can leave you
looking years younger by the use of a nonlaser light beam that
stimulates the production of collagen in the skin cells.
Conditions That Can Be Helped By Photofacial
There are a number of skin conditions that can be successively
treated by Photofacial. Skin pigmentation can be evened out and
pigmentation problems such as age spots and freckles removed by a
Photofacial treatment. Redness of the face and diseases such as
rosacea can be helped by exposure to this type of light beam. It can
help to repair skin damage that is caused by the sun as well as
cigarette smoking. This procedure can also help to heal enlarged
pores, broken capillaries and veins, lines, and wrinkles.
How It Works
The nonlaser Intense Pulse Light that is used in a Photofacail
procedure delivers light energy through the skin and into the cells
underneath. This light stimulates the cells’ production of collagen,
which causes the skin to appear firmer and smoother, thus
eliminating wrinkles and lines.
The Photofacial is done on a series of five treatments over a
period of three weeks with each treatment lasting for approximately
thirty minutes. There is virtually no recovery time necessary. There
might be some discomfort during the procedure and the skin may
appear to be reddened for a few days afterwards. In 1% of cases,
short-term blistering and bruising have occurred, but these symptoms
clear up rather quickly. Pigmentation changes are also possible,
although this condition can be treated.
Consult a Doctor
To decide if this procedure is right for you, you need to consult
a doctor. This procedure is not effective on loose or sagging areas,
but to diminish smaller age lines and wrinkles, it has known to have
satisfactory results.
