Photofacial is an advanced skin rejuvenation technique that uses pulse light technology to reduce redness, and uneven skin tone. This procedure is in high demand at this time for making aging symptoms less prominent and reducing blemishes on the skin, using this noninvasive method, which brings rapid effects.
Browns spots and broken blood vessels around the nose, chin, cheeks, neck, hands are classic signs of sun damage and aging of the skin. Brown spots, often called age spots are caused by pigment that is produced by the skin to protect the skin from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. The injuries caused by the sun exposure stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in those areas. Inflammation is another term for these new blood vessels that form.
Blood is brought in to the area from these new vessels in order to bring healing compounds in, and to remove damaged cells. As our skin ages, the brown spots and broken blood vessels are left behind on the skin after the inflammation or skin injury has passed. These pigmented and red vascular spots create an aged appearance to the facial skin which is called dyschromia, which is a sign of facial aging.
What does the process do?
The bright intense pulsed light is passed through a filter where only a specific color of the flash light reaches the skin. The damaged areas of pigments in age spots and blood vessels selectively absorb the light energy that makes contact with the skin in these places using the photofacial process. The action of the high heat from IPL light works to destroy damaged blood vessels and areas of concentrated pigment.
Noninvasive processes such as these do not need much, if any, time to heal afterwards since they are not very intensive. 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. Immediately after treatment you may notice some initial redness and capillary exposure. This will fade and you will often enjoy the effects of your Photofacial following your first treatment. While lasers lead to peeling of skin and possible scars, photofacial skin rejuvenation is gentle on the skin. During this process, skin is not broken at all, although the area may be slightly darker afterwards. At the most, the region may remain pink for a few hours. When a patient needs to go to work and there is still some redness, some makeup does a good job of making this unnoticeable.
A patient will normally have a session every two or three weeks, with as few as three treatments needed, up to about a maximum of seven. Redness on the face caused by a condition called Rosacea will be reduced noticeably, making the face appear clearer and brighter.
After the procedure, be sure to follow the physician's exact instructions carefully. Try to stay out of direct sunlight before a photofacial, and also afterwards. The skin can develop blisters or dyspigmentation if these recommendations are ignored and the patient lingers in the sun, or decides to tan. When a patient gets too much sun too close to a treatment, discoloration of the skin may also happen. In order to get the most out of your photofacial, be sure to utilize sunscreen after the process.
