Photofacial is a process using cutting edge pulse light technology to lessen redness and smooth out uneven skin colour issues. 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.
Aging has many signs and mixed with sun damage, some of these signs include broken blood vessels in the area of the chin, nose, cheeks, hands, and neck, along with unsightly brown spots. 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 injuries caused by the sun exposure stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in those areas. 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 does the process do?
A specific color of the flash light is emitted though a filter, where bright intense pulsed light is directed into. 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 damaged blood vessels and pigment are destroyed by the heat of the IPL light delivered by the machine.
Photofacial treatment is noninvasive and requires little to no recovery time. It only takes a quarter to half an hour for the treatment, and then the patient can go on with their day. Immediately after treatment you may notice some initial redness and capillary exposure. These minor side effects are quick to dissipate and the patient can immediately see the results of the treatment. While lasers lead to peeling of skin and possible scars, photofacial skin rejuvenation is gentle on the skin. There is some darkening that can occur in the treated areas, but skin is never broken during the procedure. At the most, the region may remain pink for a few hours. When a patient needs to go to work and there is still some redness, some makeup does a good job of making this unnoticeable.
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. Avoid sun exposure before and after photofacial treatments. 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. To make the benefits of the procedure longer lasting and more prominent, ensure that you always have sunscreen on hand, and use it frequently.
