Maintain a Younger Look With Photofacials
Photofacial is a process using cutting edge pulse light technology to lessen redness and smooth out uneven skin colour issues. 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.
Browns spots and broken blood vessels around the nose, chin, cheeks, neck, hands are classic signs of sun damage and aging of the skin. 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 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. 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.
How does it 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.
Noninvasive processes such as these do not need much, if any, time to heal afterwards since they are not very intensive. Treatment can be performed in as little as 15 to 30 minutes and you can return to your regular daily activities. There are some signs of redness and capillary exposure right after the treatment at times. This will fade and you will often enjoy the effects of your Photofacial following your first treatment. When comparing lasers to photofacials, the latter seems very mild by contrast, as lasers could leave some scarring or peeling, this won't result from photofacial treatments. There is some darkening that can occur in the treated areas, but skin is never broken during the procedure. Several hours is about the longest that any pinkness will normally remain. 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. Patients with Rosacea should slowly begin to notice the evening out of the red tones for a more natural complexion.
The treatment provider will provide you with a list of instructions afterwards, follow these to the letter. For those who have had photofacial procedures, the sun should be avoided after, and before the process. If a patient does not follow the guidelines and decides to tan or go in the sun, dyspigmentation and blistering is possible. Sun exposure following treatment can lead to recurrence of skin discoloration as well. In order to get the most out of your photofacial, be sure to utilize sunscreen after the process.
