Our
Photofacial Process |
|
| |
We all want clear skin, but nature
has a way of sabotaging us with frustrating
imperfections, especially as we age and sun damage
accumulates. Fortunately, skin rejuvenation has
advanced beyond the painful procedures of the past.
Our process offers comfortable and effective
photo-facials for the treatment of sun damage and
visible veins. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Treat Multiple Conditions |
|
| |
The
process uses pulses of concentrated light to clear: |
|
| |
- Sun Damage: Wide areas of pigmentation on
the face, chest, and arms.
- Sunspots: Individual pigmented lesions, also
known as age spots.
- Rosacea: General inflammation of the cheeks
and face.
- Spider Veins: Individual vessels, which can
be red, blue, or purple in color.

Safe, Comfortable, and Fast! |
|
| |
In the past, harsh treatments
resulted in red, raw skin, with a long recovery
period. But our process provides the most skinsafe,
comfortable, and effective, photo-facials available,
without any downtime. The appointments are quick,
and you can return to work or other activities -
looking and feeling fine! |

F.A.Q.'s |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Q: How does
pulsed light work? |
|
| |
A: We use specialized handpieces
which filter light from different parts of the
spectrum. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength
that is ideal for different treatments, such as hair
reduction, sunspot removal, and acne treatment. The
hair removal handpieces emit pulses of light into
the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the
pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The
heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells
responsible for growing new hair. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Q: How is
pulsed light different from a laser? |
|
| |
A: Pulsed light systems and lasers
are very similar, but our pulsed light systems use a
much larger treatment window than most lasers. This
spreads light over a wide area of skin and allows
faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments
as a result. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Q: What body
areas can I get treated? |
|
| |
A: Any area,
except directly around the eyes. The upper lip,
face, neck, underarms, bikini line, legs, chest &
back can all be treated. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Q:
What are the treatments like? |
|
| |
A: Your treatment provider will move
the handpiece over your skin, pulsing it all the
while. Each pulse will send a beam of light through
the skin. A flashing light, an audible tone, and a
mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the
handpiece is being pulsed. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Q:
What should I expect after treatment? |
|
| |
A: You may experience lingering
warmth, tightness, or redness in the treated area,
which fades within a few hours of treatment. Because
so much of the skin is unaffected by the light
pulses, there is a quick healing process. Generally,
you can receive a treatment and go back to work or
to other activities without any recovery time. A
series of treatments at 4-6 week intervals may be
required to achieve the desired result of smoother,
tighter skin in the face, arms, abdomen & other
areas. Your treatment provider will be able to give
you more information about treatments and expected
results. |
