Photofacial is an advanced skin rejuvenation technique that uses pulse light technology to reduce redness, and uneven skin tone. Using this method to correct aging skin issues and other blemishes and spots, this fast acting process is noninvasive and is increasing in popularity quickly.
The sun has an effect as well as aging on the skin over the years, including producing brown spots and ruptured blood vessels on the cheeks, nose, chin, hands and neck. The sun causes UV-protecting pigment to form on skin, which appears as unappealing brown splotches that are sometimes referred to as age spots. The skin produces new blood vessels in spots where harm from the sun has accumulated. The new blood vessel formation is actually inflammation of the skin.
Blood is brought in to the area from these new vessels in order to bring healing compounds in, and to remove damaged cells. After the injury or inflammation goes away, these ruptured blood vessels remain along with brown spots, causing skin to appear further aged. Aging has many outward forms, and dyschromia is what red spots and pigmented brown spots are called technically.
How does it work?
The bright intense pulsed light is passed through a filter where only a specific color of the flash light reaches the skin. The pigmented areas of the skin that form age spots along with the burst blood vessels absorb the photofacial light selectively once it gets to the skin. The action of the high heat from IPL light works to destroy damaged blood vessels and areas of concentrated pigment.
Photofacial treatment is noninvasive and requires little to no recovery time. After the quick treatment, the patient will be able to be on their way and back to their life after 15 minutes, or at the most, half an hour. There are some signs of redness and capillary exposure right after the treatment at times. It won't last long, and benefits from the initial procedure are noticeable almost right away. Photofacials are pretty light on skin, especially when compared to the possible scarring and peeling that can result when using lasers for treatment. There is some darkening that can occur in the treated areas, but skin is never broken during the procedure. Slight redness could last for hours after the treatment, but that's about the worst of it. When a patient needs to go to work and there is still some redness, some makeup does a good job of making this unnoticeable.
To produce the desired results, three to seven treatments are usually recommended and are spaced two to three weeks apart. Redness on the face caused by a condition called Rosacea will be reduced noticeably, making the face appear clearer and brighter.
The treatment provider will provide you with a list of instructions afterwards, follow these to the letter. Avoid sun exposure before and after photofacial treatments. If a patient does not follow the guidelines and decides to tan or go in the sun, dyspigmentation and blistering is possible. Skin discoloration can also be a result if too much exposure to the sun happens after the procedure. In order to get the most out of your photofacial, be sure to utilize sunscreen after the process.
