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.
The sun has an effect as well as aging on the skin over the years, including producing brown spots and ruptured blood vessels on the cheeks, nose, chin, hands and neck. The sun causes UV-protecting pigment to form on skin, which appears as unappealing brown splotches that are sometimes referred to as age spots. New blood vessels grow into the skin in response to skin injury by the sun. This process of new blood vessel growth is called inflammation.
Blood is brought in to the area from these new vessels in order to bring healing compounds in, and to remove damaged cells. Blood vessels that are damaged stay after the inflammation heals stay in place and leave unsightly marks and spots. 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 causes the procedure to work?
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. Redness and capillary exposure are sometimes visible for a short time as soon as the treatment is completed. 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. While the treated blood vessel and skin may darken a bit, the skin remains intact. At the most, the region may remain pink for a few hours. 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. 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. Skin discoloration can also be a result if too much exposure to the sun happens after the procedure. Always wear sunscreen to maximize and sustain your results.
