Photofacial is the name given to a modern method of skin rejuvenation, where irregular skin tone is corrected along with redness using pulse light technology. 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. Brown spots, often called age spots are caused by pigment that is produced by the skin to protect the skin from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. New blood vessels grow into the skin in response to skin injury by the sun. The new blood vessel formation is actually inflammation of the skin.
Blood is brought in to the area from these new vessels in order to bring healing compounds in, and to remove damaged cells. After the injury or inflammation goes away, these ruptured blood vessels remain along with brown spots, causing skin to appear further aged. Dyschromia is the name given to the dark brown pigment areas and red broken vessels that happen as the age of the skin is increased.
What does the process do?
A filter is used to separate the bright intense pulsed light from the intended color of flash light that is directed toward the skin. The damaged areas of pigments in age spots and blood vessels selectively absorb the light energy that makes contact with the skin in these places using the photofacial process. 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. Treatment can be performed in as little as 15 to 30 minutes and you can return to your regular daily activities. Immediately after treatment you may notice some initial redness and capillary exposure. It won't last long, and benefits from the initial procedure are noticeable almost right away. When comparing lasers to photofacials, the latter seems very mild by contrast, as lasers could leave some scarring or peeling, this won't result from photofacial treatments. There is some darkening that can occur in the treated areas, but skin is never broken during the procedure. Slight redness could last for hours after the treatment, but that's about the worst of it. Makeup can be utilized in order to cover up any redness that may still be lingering, and the patient needs to go out somewhere, or be at work.
A patient will normally have a session every two or three weeks, with as few as three treatments needed, up to about a maximum of seven. Patients with Rosacea should slowly begin to notice the evening out of the red tones for a more natural complexion.
After the procedure, be sure to follow the physician's exact instructions carefully. For those who have had photofacial procedures, the sun should be avoided after, and before the process. The skin can develop blisters or dyspigmentation if these recommendations are ignored and the patient lingers in the sun, or decides to tan. Sun exposure following treatment can lead to recurrence of skin discoloration as well. In order to get the most out of your photofacial, be sure to utilize sunscreen after the process.
