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. 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.
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. 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 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. 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. 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. While the treated blood vessel and skin may darken a bit, the skin remains intact. Several hours is about the longest that any pinkness will normally remain. 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. Patients with Rosacea should slowly begin to notice the evening out of the red tones for a more natural complexion.
Always adhere to your doctor's instructions following treatment. 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.
