FotoFacial treatments are used to reduce redness, flushing, and the visible signs of skin damage and aging on the face, neck, and upper chest. Using visible light pulses, this non invasive, non laser procedure uses a medical device that delivers a series of gentle light pulses to the skin. The strength of these light pulses is set according to the skin condition being treated and the specific physiology of the patient.
FotoFacial procedures are best used for redness and flushing of rosacea, fine wrinkles, freckling, irregular skin pigmentation, minor skin smoothing, pigment reduction, skin tone, and dilated capillaries.
A FotoFacial treatment lasts approximately 15 to 30 minutes and has only a mild amount of discomfort. If you are hypersensitive to any type of skin stimulation, a mild topical anesthetic can be used 30 to 60 minutes before the procedure so you will not feel anything. Depending upon the health of your skin, your age, and the specific type of skin disorder you are treating - these procedures are repeated 5 or more times with 3 week intervals.
There is no discomfort following treatment - however your skin may appear flushed and capillaries more visible for anywhere from a few hours to a few days. As time passes, the appearance of the skin condition you treated improves and your skin begins to show a smoother and younger appearance.
FotoFacial procedures are preferred by people who want to attack the signs of aging early in their careers and do not want to deal with healing or recovery times. Active people who want to continue social and outdoor activities most often elect to work with FotoFacial treatments as their first step toward healthier looking and younger skin.
