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.
Aging has many signs and mixed with sun damage, some of these signs include broken blood vessels in the area of the chin, nose, cheeks, hands, and neck, along with unsightly brown spots. 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 skin produces new blood vessels in spots where harm from the sun has accumulated. This process of new blood vessel growth is called inflammation.
Blood is brought in to the area from these new vessels in order to bring healing compounds in, and to remove damaged cells. Blood vessels that are damaged stay after the inflammation heals stay in place and leave unsightly marks and spots. 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?
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 heat of IPL light consequently destroys the pigment and blood vessel.
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. 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. Photofacials are pretty light on skin, especially when compared to the possible scarring and peeling that can result when using lasers for treatment. During this process, skin is not broken at all, although the area may be slightly darker afterwards. Slight redness could last for hours after the treatment, but that's about the worst of it. When a patient needs to go to work and there is still some redness, some makeup does a good job of making this unnoticeable.
Treatments should be done every 2 or 3 weeks, and somewhere between 3 and 7 total treatments typically bring the expected results for patients. 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. If a patient does not follow the guidelines and decides to tan or go in the sun, dyspigmentation and blistering is possible. When a patient gets too much sun too close to a treatment, discoloration of the skin may also happen. Always wear sunscreen to maximize and sustain your results.
