Skip The Plastic Surgery And Get Photofacials To Look Younger

By Stina Delance


Photofacial is an advanced skin rejuvenation technique that uses pulse light technology to reduce redness, and uneven skin tone. 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.

The sun has an effect as well as aging on the skin over the years, including producing brown spots and ruptured blood vessels on the cheeks, nose, chin, hands and neck. 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. This process of new blood vessel growth is called inflammation.

These are formed in order to carry blood to the area and take away damaged skin cells and to bring healing nutrients to the area. 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.

What causes the procedure to 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 pigmented areas of the skin that form age spots along with the burst blood vessels absorb the photofacial light selectively once it gets to the skin. The heat of IPL light consequently destroys the pigment and blood vessel.

Photofacial treatment is noninvasive and requires little to no recovery time. After the quick treatment, the patient will be able to be on their way and back to their life after 15 minutes, or at the most, half an hour. 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. Photofacials are pretty light on skin, especially when compared to the possible scarring and peeling that can result when using lasers for treatment. During this process, skin is not broken at all, although the area may be slightly darker afterwards. Slight redness could last for hours after the treatment, but that's about the worst of it. Makeup can be utilized in order to cover up any redness that may still be lingering, and the patient needs to go out somewhere, or be at work.

A patient will normally have a session every two or three weeks, with as few as three treatments needed, up to about a maximum of seven. Patients with Rosacea should slowly begin to notice the evening out of the red tones for a more natural complexion.

Always adhere to your doctor's instructions following treatment. 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. 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.
