Photofacial™ For age spots, sun damage, redness and fine lines Intense Pulsed Light ™ (IPL) skin treatments using the photorejuvenation process represent a breakthrough in age-defying skin care. This new technique treats skin damage non-invasively-there is no disruption of the skin’s epidermal surface. IPL treatments address the effects of photoaging and sun damage with low risk of complications and no recovery time. IPL is the gold standard for photorejuvenation. This FDA cleared, patented technology provides dramatic results for a variety of benign conditions, including age spots, freckles, symptoms of Rosacea, birthmarks, unsightly veins, acne scarring, and other blemishes- even unwanted hair. At
LaserCare we personalize each treatment for our clients needs,
often using a combination of IPL and laser technology to
ensure the most effective treatment. On
average 3 to 4 treatments, performed 2 to 3 weeks apart are
usually required for optimum results. Treatments cannot
be performed on tanned skin and clients must be prepared to
abstain from sun exposure during treatment. What is a PhotoFacial™ Treatment? A PhotoFacial™ Treatment is a series of full face, gentle pulsed light treatments intended to improve the appearance of sun damaged and aged skin, as well as reduce facial and neck redness and flushing. PhotoFacial™ treatments result in a more youthful-appearing skin. PhotoFacial™ treatments were developed to consistently and predictably improve the visible appearance of the skin with little or no down time.
How
does the treatment work?
What if I don’t have visible vessels only general skin redness. Can I still be treated? Yes! The intense light because of its unique nature of emission, can find even the tiniest of vessels, some of which are packed so densely as to defy individual identity.
How much improvement will I see? Typically 75-95%, on average 90% improvement is seen in most patients.
Are there any other conditions that can be treated with the PhotoFacial™? Yes, PhotoFacial™ treatments will also help patients who suffer from photo-aging of the skin, pigmentation from sun exposure (Age Spots), irregularities of skin texture, improves some mild acne scars, reduces large pores and dark circles around the eyes.
Are there any conditions that this treatment won’t help? It won’t treat frown lines, sometimes known as lines of expression on the face, especially the forehead and between the brows. It is not a substitute for a face-lift and will not help baggy or sagging skin. It won’t cure the puffiness around the eyes for which blepharoplasty surgery is needed. It is not a treatment for skin cancer, but can treat pre-cancers called actinic keratosis. It won’t remove bumpy moles, but can remove their pigment. It will remove, however, acquired freckling. Genetic freckles usually return after treatment. It won’t remove those strands of deep parallel blood vessels occasionally seen on the lower cheeks, which can be removed in other ways. It will not remove seborrrheic keratosis including the tiny genetic ones on the upper cheeks and around the eyes sometimes called dermatosis papulosa nigra. It also won’t remove sebaceous hyperplasia, a benign growth of some oil glands in mid life.
Are there any side effects? Yes. Most side effects are mild and of short duration. These can consist of short-term discomfort during the actual treatment. There is usually additional redness immediately following treatment, lasting less than 24 hours in most people. On rare occasions, it may last up to three days. Mild blistering and bruising is possible, but in our experience occur in less than 1% and usually clear very quickly. Post-treatment pigmentation has been noted on occasion, but is highly treatable and fortunately very rare. Even more rare is a decrease in pigmentation of the skin after treatments. This also clears in time as well. We have never seen a scar or an infection of the skin after treatment, but it can occur. Swelling of the face for 3-5 days occasionally occurs and is most common in severely sun-damaged skin due to reduced quality of connective tissue around the blood vessels.
Can I accomplish the same results with chemical peels, Microdermabrasion Power Peel™, Parisian Peels™ or Derma Peel™ ? No, although PhotoFacial™ treatment can be used in conjunction with certain types of Peels and Microdermabrasion.
If I don’t have very much redness and only have pigmented areas from sun exposure (weather-beaten appearance), can I benefit? Yes, these patients can also be treated with great results. Some of the most gratified patients are those who have shown the ravages of sun and time on the face.
