Photo facial Rejuvenation

Skin Guide
Photo facial Rejuvenation

We all want clear skin, but nature has a way of sabotaging us with frustrating imperfections. The good news is that you can rejuvenate your skin with photofacial technology.

Over a series of three to five treatments, photofacial rejuvenation can give patients nearly a 100 per cent improvement in facial imperfections. Photofacials treat a variety of problems, including age spots, mild acne scars, rosacea, uneven texture, fine lines, and large pores – even dark bags under the eyes! A photofacial can even take the pigment out of moles on your face. Since the neck and chest area can also become visibly sun-damaged, photofacial is also a great treatment for these areas.

This treatment is ideal for those with sun damage, those who have rosacea or other types of redness, spider veins or those who simply wish to improve the look and feel of their face.

A photofacial works by exposing your face to a series of intense pulses of light; unlike a laser, this light works over many wavelengths, not just one, and penetrates deeply into the face. The treatment is designed to give patients no downtime, though some people may experience discomfort during the treatment and redness, blistering, or bruising briefly following treatment. Most patients undergo a series of three to five treatments of 30 minutes each and return for a follow-up visit two or more years later. Photofacials can be used in conjunction with other skin treatments, usually microdermabrasion.
