What is a Photofacial?
Photoafacial is a light based treatment the delivers an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) that is absorbed by its chosen target such as Acne, Pigmented lesions (hyperpigmentation, sun damage) Vascular lesions (broken capillaries, spider veins, redness) without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.
IPL treatments remain the gold standard of treatment within the medi-spa and esthetic industry for achieving results safely and naturally.
An IPL operates on a wide range of wavelengths, therefore one IPL machine can treat more than one condition by setting the correct parameters of the machine according to the skin type and the target to be treated without injuring anything else.
The benefits of intense pulsed light therapy cover almost the entire spectrum of cosmetic dermatology. When performed by a qualified Laser Technician, a photofacial treatment can help nearly all aspects of skin aesthetics and structure.
Who Would Benefit from IPL Photofacials?
- Acneic skin conditions (the IPL will destroy the P. bacteria allowing for healthy cell formation)
- Sun damaged Skin, brown spots
- Rosacea prone skin - the IPL will diffuse the redness
- Loss of Collagen and Elasticity
Is it painful?
NO! If the parameters of the machine are set correctly, there should be very little to no discomfort during the treatment. This is why it is of the utmost importance to seek a Certified, Professional Laser Technician that you trust comes highly recommended by others.
Most describe the treatment as a quick, sharp snap followed by a feeling of warmth within the skin.
How Many Treatments will I need?
When targeting a specific condition it is recommended for best results to have a series of 3 - 6 treatments performed at monthly intervals while performing a customized regime as designed by your technician. However, we are all individuals some may need more, some need less but this will be assessed during the consultation process.
