Photofacial

We are pleased to offer a  safe and effective way to eradicate red facial veins, red facial flushing, irregular pigmentation, and fine facial lines. The treatment is called Photofacial. Wrinkles are caused by a host of factors including loss of collagen and elastin, sun damage, smoking, alcohol use and hormonal changes. In addition, as we age fine facial blood vessels and irregular areas of hyperpigmentation often appear on facial and non-facial skin exposed to sun.

Our new Intense Pulsed Light Photo Rejuvenation system is designed to combat the effects of sun and aging in a softer and gentler way. Using our advanced IPL system, light energy is delivered through the skin removing facial redness, erasing pigmented spots, reducing pore size and minimizing fine lines. A series of five or six photo facial treatments are given at 3-4 week intervals. This procedure is associated with only mild discomfort and postoperatively patients may note facial pinkness, which may be covered with makeup. Patients can return to work or resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. In addition this Intense Pulsed Light system can be used to safely treat aging and photo damaged skin on the neck, chest and hands.

After one or two treatments, your skin will have more even tone and a smoother look and feel. Sunspots will start to fade and pores will become less apparent. Fine lines and wrinkles will soften over time. These improvements continue with each treatment. Patient with acne rosacea will see a reduction in facial redness as a result of each treatment.

The best candidates for this procedure are patients with rosacea, red flushed faces secondary to acne rosacea, facial blood vessels and capillaries, sun damaged skin, pigmented facial spots and enlarged pores. For further information regarding this new and exciting facial rejuvenation procedure please call for a consultation.
