Photofacial is the name given to a modern method of skin rejuvenation, where irregular skin tone is corrected along with redness using pulse light technology. 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.
The sun has an effect as well as aging on the skin over the years, including producing brown spots and ruptured blood vessels on the cheeks, nose, chin, hands and neck. 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. 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. 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.
What does the process do?
A specific color of the flash light is emitted though a filter, where bright intense pulsed light is directed into. The pigmented areas of the skin that form age spots along with the burst blood vessels absorb the photofacial light selectively once it gets to the skin. The action of the high heat from IPL light works to destroy damaged blood vessels and areas of concentrated pigment.
Recovery time is usually not necessary since photofacials are a noninvasive procedure. 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. Photofacials are pretty light on skin, especially when compared to the possible scarring and peeling that can result when using lasers for treatment. There is some darkening that can occur in the treated areas, but skin is never broken during the procedure. At the most, the region may remain pink for a few hours. 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. 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. Always wear sunscreen to maximize and sustain your results.
