Photofacial is a non-abrasive and non-invasive rejuvenation of your skin using the remarkable technology of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). IPL Photofacials can improve the signs of sun damage, rosacea and brown spots on the face, hands and body. It has also been used to reduce the appearance of mild acne scars, dark circles around the eyes and fine lines around the eyes and mouth.
The IPL Photofacial handpiece is gently pressed to the skin and painless pulses of light are emitted. Usually 4-6 treatment sessions lasting about 20 minutes each will provide you with beautiful results.
There is no recuperation time – with an IPL Photofacial you can return to work or resume your normal activities on the same day. You will notice a gradual, natural-looking improvement in your skin with time. IPL is a safe solution tailor-made to your skin type and condition.
Age spots, also called liver spots, are flat brown patches on the skin that have darkened in color (“pigmented”) after exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light. They are commonly seen in people over the age of 40 on areas of skin that are frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the hands, shoulders, forearms, face and forehead. Age spots may look unattractive, but are painless and harmless, although their dark color can delay the diagnosis of some skin cancers.
Pulsed dye laser is used to treat spider veins, diffuse redness, birthmarks, scars and other vascular lesions on the face as well as body. This device delivers an intense but gentle burst of light into selectively targeted areas of the skin. The light is absorbed by specific blood vessels to help minimize or eliminate their appearance. The size, color and amount of vessels treated may effect whether or not there is any downtime immediately following the procedure. More than one treatment may be necessary to achieve the desired result.
