Skip The Plastic Surgery And Get Photofacials To Look Younger

By Stina Delance


Photofacial is a process using cutting edge pulse light technology to lessen redness and smooth out uneven skin colour issues. Due to its noninvasive approach and immediate results, it is becoming one of the most popular skin care procedures to reduce the signs of aging and correct minor skin imperfections.

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. The injuries caused by the sun exposure stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in those areas. Inflammation is another term for these new blood vessels that form.

The new blood vessels bring blood into the facial skin first to wash out damaged skin cell debris and later to bring in skin healing factors. 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. 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?

The bright intense pulsed light is passed through a filter where only a specific color of the flash light reaches 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 heat of IPL light consequently destroys the pigment and blood vessel.

Recovery time is usually not necessary since photofacials are a noninvasive procedure. After the quick treatment, the patient will be able to be on their way and back to their life after 15 minutes, or at the most, half an hour. There are some signs of redness and capillary exposure right after the treatment at times. This will fade and you will often enjoy the effects of your Photofacial following your first treatment. 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. If required, this pinkness may be covered with makeup so that you can comfortably return to work the next day.

To produce the desired results, three to seven treatments are usually recommended and are spaced two to three weeks apart. Patients with Rosacea should slowly begin to notice the evening out of the red tones for a more natural complexion.

The treatment provider will provide you with a list of instructions afterwards, follow these to the letter. Try to stay out of direct sunlight before a photofacial, and also afterwards. If a patient does not follow the guidelines and decides to tan or go in the sun, dyspigmentation and blistering is possible. 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.
