Photofacials For Beauty And Avoid The Plastic Surgeon

By Stina Delance


Photofacial is a process using cutting edge pulse light technology to lessen redness and smooth out uneven skin colour issues. 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.

Browns spots and broken blood vessels around the nose, chin, cheeks, neck, hands are classic signs of sun damage and aging of the skin. Age spots are brown areas on the skin that appear after much exposure to the sun, and they are caused by pigment forming that protects from UV rays. 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.

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. Dyschromia is the name given to the dark brown pigment areas and red broken vessels that happen as the age of the skin is increased.

How does it work?

A specific color of the flash light is emitted though a filter, where bright intense pulsed light is directed into. The damaged areas of pigments in age spots and blood vessels selectively absorb the light energy that makes contact with the skin in these places using the photofacial process. The damaged blood vessels and pigment are destroyed by the heat of the IPL light delivered by the machine.

Photofacial treatment is noninvasive and requires little to no recovery time. 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. These minor side effects are quick to dissipate and the patient can immediately see the results of the treatment. When comparing lasers to photofacials, the latter seems very mild by contrast, as lasers could leave some scarring or peeling, this won't result from photofacial treatments. There is some darkening that can occur in the treated areas, but skin is never broken during the procedure. Several hours is about the longest that any pinkness will normally remain. 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. Skin discoloration can also be a result if too much exposure to the sun happens after the procedure. In order to get the most out of your photofacial, be sure to utilize sunscreen after the process.
