Photofacial

Photofacial is one of the most innovative breakthroughs to come to the non-surgical cosmetic industry.  You can now benefit from this remarkable treatment option, which involves a series of intense pulsed light to the skin, to improve the appearance of sun damaged skin. The results are younger and healthier looking skin.  96% of patients would recommend the treatment to others, so patient satisfaction is the key to why this treatment is becoming a leading treatment option.

What can Photofacials treat?
Photofacials are used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores and acne scarring by promoting new collagen production. The procedure is also effective for treating pigmented and vascular lesions, such as age or sun spots, melasma, rosacea, port-wine stains, telangiectasia (broken or dilated blood vessels), redness or flushing, benign moles, and other skin blemishes. Although photofacials are most commonly used on the face, treatments can be done anywhere on the body. Often referred to as a “Mini-Facelift”, your skin will appear tighter, firmer, and smoother as you receive ongoing treatments. Maintenance is suggested to maintain these esults.

Why photofacial treatments instead of a facelift?
The biggest advantage of photofacial treatments is that there is no downtime or recovery period. Treatments can be done during your lunch break and you can return to work or resume your regular activities immediately. No surgery means less pain, no danger of life threatening complications and infections, and makes it much more affordable.  

How long does each treatment take and does it hurt?
Treatment times range from 20-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Often described as a rubber band hitting lightly against the skin, any discomfort can be minimized by a numbing cream.

How often do I need treatments?
Initially, 5 sessions every 3-4 weeks apart are recommended to generate the complete turnover of old collagen and produce the optimal treatment effect of therapy. We recommend a maintenance treatment program, which will be discussed on an individual basis following the initial treatment series to maintain a youthful appearance.  

What results can I expect?
Even with your first treatment, you will notice an improvement in your skin tone, texture and complexion. You will begin to notice an improvement of vascular and pigmented lesions, and with each succeeding treatment, your skin will become more supple and firmer with improved reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and pore size.
