Photofacial is the name given to a modern method of skin rejuvenation, where irregular skin tone is corrected along with redness using pulse light technology. Due to its noninvasive approach and immediate results, it is becoming one of the most popular skin care procedures to reduce the signs of aging and correct minor skin imperfections.
Browns spots and broken blood vessels around the nose, chin, cheeks, neck, hands are classic signs of sun damage and aging of the skin. 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. Inflammation is another term for these new blood vessels that form.
Blood is brought in to the area from these new vessels in order to bring healing compounds in, and to remove damaged cells. After the injury or inflammation goes away, these ruptured blood vessels remain along with brown spots, causing skin to appear further aged. 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.
What does the process do?
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 action of the high heat from IPL light works to destroy damaged blood vessels and areas of concentrated pigment.
Noninvasive processes such as these do not need much, if any, time to heal afterwards since they are not very intensive. 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. Immediately after treatment you may notice some initial redness and capillary exposure. 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. If required, this pinkness may be covered with makeup so that you can comfortably return to work the next day.
Treatments should be done every 2 or 3 weeks, and somewhere between 3 and 7 total treatments typically bring the expected results for patients. Redness on the face caused by a condition called Rosacea will be reduced noticeably, making the face appear clearer and brighter.
The treatment provider will provide you with a list of instructions afterwards, follow these to the letter. For those who have had photofacial procedures, the sun should be avoided after, and before the process. The skin can develop blisters or dyspigmentation if these recommendations are ignored and the patient lingers in the sun, or decides to tan. When a patient gets too much sun too close to a treatment, discoloration of the skin may also happen. In order to get the most out of your photofacial, be sure to utilize sunscreen after the process.
