The Photofacial Treatment of Pigmentation and Veins

Using the selective energy of Intense Pulsed Light, the photofacial will remove unwanted pigmentation and facial veins and redness leaving the skin with more even tone and color, in just a few treatments.

With no down-time, nothing works as efficiently as this popular photo-rejuvenation technology to improve sun-damaged skin.

(Please note: this treatment will not remove melasma, moles, or sebaceous plaques and outgrowths of skin.)

Photofacial Rejuvenation uses Intense Pulse technology which targets certain tissues and stimulates the production of collagen. Photofacial Rejuvenation improves acne scars, Rosacea, Hyperpigmentation and broken capillaries. Fine lines and wrinkles are softened but other tissues are not affected because the light focuses on a certain area.

Photofacial Frequently Asked Questions

  QUESTION: What body area can I get treated?

ANSWER: Any area except directly around the eyes. The face, neck, chest, arms, hands, legs, etc. can all be treated quickly and safely.

  QUESTION: What is the treatment session like?

ANSWER: The photofacial treatment sessions are quick and easy. The handpiece is moved over your skin which emits a light that breaks up the pigment in the lesions. Most people perceive the light as a gentle "snapping" sensation, which causes little to no discomfort.

  QUESTION: What should I expect after the treatment?

ANSWER: Pigmented lesions will darken slightly after treatment then fade away after 10 to 14 days. Visible veins generally undergo immediate graying or blanching and the surrounding area may redden. The vessels then fade after 10 to 14 days. Most people experience some mild temporary redness and swelling similar to a sunburn, in the treatment area shortly after treatment. This does not interfere with normal activities and usually subsides within a day. In some cases, the redness may last longer, but will still be mild and temporary.

  QUESTION: What is the difference between pulsed light and laser treatment?

ANSWER: Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar and treat lesions in basically the same way however the pulsed light process uses a new technology that removes lesions up to ten times faster than lasers.
