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.
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. 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. The new blood vessel formation is actually inflammation of the skin.
These are formed in order to carry blood to the area and take away damaged skin cells and to bring healing nutrients to the area. After the injury or inflammation goes away, these ruptured blood vessels remain along with brown spots, causing skin to appear further aged. 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?
A filter is used to separate the bright intense pulsed light from the intended color of flash light that is directed toward the skin. 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 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. It only takes a quarter to half an hour for the treatment, and then the patient can go on with their day. Redness and capillary exposure are sometimes visible for a short time as soon as the treatment is completed. 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. While the treated blood vessel and skin may darken a bit, the skin remains intact. At the most, the region may remain pink for a few hours. Makeup can be utilized in order to cover up any redness that may still be lingering, and the patient needs to go out somewhere, or be at work.
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.
After the procedure, be sure to follow the physician's exact instructions carefully. Avoid sun exposure before and after photofacial treatments. The skin can develop blisters or dyspigmentation if these recommendations are ignored and the patient lingers in the sun, or decides to tan. 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.
