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. Age spots are brown areas on the skin that appear after much exposure to the sun, and they are caused by pigment forming that protects from UV rays. 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.
These are formed in order to carry blood to the area and take away damaged skin cells and to bring healing nutrients to the area. Blood vessels that are damaged stay after the inflammation heals stay in place and leave unsightly marks and spots. Aging has many outward forms, and dyschromia is what red spots and pigmented brown spots are called technically.
What causes the procedure to work?
A filter is used to separate the bright intense pulsed light from the intended color of flash light that is directed toward the skin. The photofacial light energy reaches the skin and is selectively absorbed by the damaged blood vessel or brown pigment of the age spot. The damaged blood vessels and pigment are destroyed by the heat of the IPL light delivered by the machine.
Photofacial treatment is noninvasive and requires little to no recovery time. Treatment can be performed in as little as 15 to 30 minutes and you can return to your regular daily activities. 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. Photofacials are pretty light on skin, especially when compared to the possible scarring and peeling that can result when using lasers for treatment. While the treated blood vessel and skin may darken a bit, the skin remains intact. Several hours is about the longest that any pinkness will normally remain. If required, this pinkness may be covered with makeup so that you can comfortably return to work the next day.
To produce the desired results, three to seven treatments are usually recommended and are spaced two to three weeks apart. Rosacea patients see benefits of these treatments quickly, and will notice the redness becoming less prominent over time.
After the procedure, be sure to follow the physician's exact instructions carefully. Avoid sun exposure before and after photofacial treatments. Exposure and tanning before treatment may occasionally lead to adverse effects such as blistering and dyspigmentation of the skin. 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.
