A non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure, Photo Facial uses light pulse technology to rejuvenate facial skin. Photo Facial can safely and effectively treat sun damage and eliminate redness, capillary damage, brown spots, discoloration, large pores, and fine lines and wrinkles in the skin. The treatment is also particularly successful at improving the symptoms of Rosacea, a relatively common skin disorder characterized by visible blood vessels on the face, acne, and reddish cheeks, nose, and forehead.
The Photo Facial system was originally developed by a California dermatologist who used the light pulse technology to enhance the appearance of damaged skin. Since its inception, Photo Facial training programs have been established worldwide to train doctors and nurses in the technique.
The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidates for a Photo Facial treatment are those who have realistic expectations about what can be aesthetically achieved through this cosmetic technique.
Candidates who may benefit the most from Photo Facial treatments are those with:
• Minor sun damage, pigment spots
• Early signs of aging, prominent red spots, capillaries
• Certain skin conditions such as rosacea
Potential patients should discuss with their surgeon what to expect before, during, and after the procedure to gain a clear understanding of the associated risks and benefits. Photo Facial patients should also provide their physician with a full medical history to reduce the risk of any unnecessary complications.
Photo Facial Technique
Photo Facials do not require that a patient receive anesthesia since the treatment involves very little discomfort. However, a topical anesthetic or cooling cream may be applied prior to treatment in order to reduce any uncomfortable sensations. The procedure takes approximately 10-15 minutes to perform, after which a patient may experience some slight temporary redness and warmth in area treated. This typically subsides in a few hours. Photo Facial patients can resume normal activities immediately.
In order to achieve the desired results, a patient will typically undergo 3-5 Photo Facial treatments spaced three weeks to one month apart. When considering a Photo Facial treatment, it is important to remember that the procedure should only be performed by a well-trained and experienced cosmetic surgeon.
