Photofacial is an advanced skin rejuvenation technique that uses pulse light technology to reduce redness, and uneven skin tone. Due to its noninvasive approach and immediate results, it is becoming one of the most popular skin care procedures to reduce the signs of aging and correct minor skin imperfections.
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 skin produces new blood vessels in spots where harm from the sun has accumulated. Inflammation is another term for these new blood vessels that form.
The new blood vessels bring blood into the facial skin first to wash out damaged skin cell debris and later to bring in skin healing factors. 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 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.
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. Redness and capillary exposure are sometimes visible for a short time as soon as the treatment is completed. These minor side effects are quick to dissipate and the patient can immediately see the results of the treatment. While lasers lead to peeling of skin and possible scars, photofacial skin rejuvenation is gentle on the skin. 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.
Treatments should be done every 2 or 3 weeks, and somewhere between 3 and 7 total treatments typically bring the expected results for patients. Redness on the face caused by a condition called Rosacea will be reduced noticeably, making the face appear clearer and brighter.
Always adhere to your doctor's instructions following treatment. Try to stay out of direct sunlight before a photofacial, and also afterwards. 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. To make the benefits of the procedure longer lasting and more prominent, ensure that you always have sunscreen on hand, and use it frequently.
