Photofacials (Fotofacials™) or IPL, uses light energy to help reduce the appearance of sun damage, facial veins and freckles. It is a great way to make your face clearer and you don’t have to worry about trying to camouflage those annoying dark spots on your face with makeup anymore. I have received advanced training in the use of IPL and have over 1200 hours of experience performing this procedure on patients. Many client’s faces, chests, arms and necks have benefited. Just think, you can have those dark spots improve right before your eyes with a series of treatments that will help put a healthy glow on your face!
Many of my 1200 hours have been spent treating ethnic skin (e.g., Asian, East Indian, Hispanic). Not only does the treatment help with pigmentation issues but also helps with collagen stimulation which helps to tighten skin. However, do not leave your skin to just anyone. Make sure that the person performing your treatment has plenty of experience with your specific skin type and asks you pertinent questions before your treatment to ensure you will receive the safest and most effective treatment.
How It Works
The intense pulsed light travels down into the skin and is attracted to pigment. Pigment can be dark spots (freckles, age spots, sun spots) caused from sun damage or can be red discolorations caused from rosecea or broken blood vessels. With brown spots, the discoloration is brought to the surface of the skin and may appear temporarily darker for a few days until it flakes away. Red discolorations will generally fade with each treatment. Generally, there is no downtime. Your skin may be pink for a an hour or two, but the effects of clearer complexion are longer lasting.
It’s quick, it’s easy, and takes years off your appearance. If you still have questions, feel free to call, email or come into the office for a consultation. We can even do some test spots so you’ll feel more comfortable with how the procedure works before you start.
