Photofacials For Beauty And Avoid The Plastic Surgeon

By Stina Delance


Photofacial is a process using cutting edge pulse light technology to lessen redness and smooth out uneven skin colour issues. 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. Brown spots, often called age spots are caused by pigment that is produced by the skin to protect the skin from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. The skin produces new blood vessels in spots where harm from the sun has accumulated. The new blood vessel formation is actually inflammation of the skin.

Blood is brought in to the area from these new vessels in order to bring healing compounds in, and to remove damaged cells. 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. Aging has many outward forms, and dyschromia is what red spots and pigmented brown spots are called technically.

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 photofacial light energy reaches the skin and is selectively absorbed by the damaged blood vessel or brown pigment of the age spot. The heat of IPL light consequently destroys the pigment and blood vessel.

Photofacial treatment is noninvasive and requires little to no recovery time. It only takes a quarter to half an hour for the treatment, and then the patient can go on with their day. 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. 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. 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. The skin can develop blisters or dyspigmentation if these recommendations are ignored and the patient lingers in the sun, or decides to tan. Skin discoloration can also be a result if too much exposure to the sun happens after the procedure. To make the benefits of the procedure longer lasting and more prominent, ensure that you always have sunscreen on hand, and use it frequently.
