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.

Aging has many signs and mixed with sun damage, some of these signs include broken blood vessels in the area of the chin, nose, cheeks, hands, and neck, along with unsightly brown spots. 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.

Blood is brought in to the area from these new vessels in order to bring healing compounds in, and to remove damaged cells. As our skin ages, the brown spots and broken blood vessels are left behind on the skin after the inflammation or skin injury has passed. Aging has many outward forms, and dyschromia is what red spots and pigmented brown spots are called technically.

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 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. Treatment can be performed in as little as 15 to 30 minutes and you can return to your regular daily activities. Redness and capillary exposure are sometimes visible for a short time as soon as the treatment is completed. It won't last long, and benefits from the initial procedure are noticeable almost right away. 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. During this process, skin is not broken at all, although the area may be slightly darker afterwards. 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.

Treatments should be done every 2 or 3 weeks, and somewhere between 3 and 7 total treatments typically bring the expected results for patients. Patients with Rosacea should slowly begin to notice the evening out of the red tones for a more natural complexion.

After the procedure, be sure to follow the physician's exact instructions carefully. Try to stay out of direct sunlight before a photofacial, and also afterwards. The skin can develop blisters or dyspigmentation if these recommendations are ignored and the patient lingers in the sun, or decides to tan. Sun exposure following treatment can lead to recurrence of skin discoloration as well. In order to get the most out of your photofacial, be sure to utilize sunscreen after the process.
