Fotofacial

The Fotofacial™ treatment is for the full face, neck and/or chest using pulses of visible light that effectively improve facial redness and flushing as well as the visible signs of sun damage and aging.

Other benefits include the following:

• Age spots

• Freckles
• Sun damage
• Spider veins
• Enlarged pores
• Redness, flushing and Rosacea
• Irregular pigmentation
• Wrinkles around the eyes, lips, and forehead

The benefits of this treatment are consistent. FotoFacial™ is quick, safe, and offers effective visible improvement in the skin with no downtime, little discomfort and minimal risk and down time. You can resume normal activities immediately.

An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat causes damage to the vessel or lesion, and the body begins its natural healing process. The lesion will darken before it flakes off or the body absorbs it. Treatment can be given as frequently as every three weeks.

For optimal results, a series of treatments are recommended based on your personal needs. Follow-up treatments may be desired in order to maintain results.

Treatment may vary depending on the size of the area to be treated. First, the treated area is cleansed and a cool gel is applied. When the pulse of light is delivered, the sensation is similar to a snap of a rubber band. Pain is minimal, however, topical anesthesia can be used for maximum comfort.

Patients experience a high degree of satisfaction with their results. Expect to see a gradual decrease in redness, broken capillaries, flushing, irregular pigmentation, pore size, and fine lines. After each treatment, the skin will feel smoother and appear to have a more even tone.
