Reduce Wrinkles, Large Pores and Irregular Pigmentation

Do you look the same way you feel? Many wish that there was a safe, easy and quick way to get rid of their rosacea, fine wrinkles, irregular pigmentation and large pores. A photofacial is an exciting anti-aging service that produces even-toned, supple skin.

Using the advanced non-laser Intense Pulse Light technology, one of our accredited technicians gently delivers precise amounts of light energy through the skin’s surface to stimulate the production of collagen. As the new collagen forms, fine lines and wrinkles decrease and the redness associated with rosacea can be dramatically reduced.

Photofacial treatments have been used successfully to treat:

• Broken Capillaries
• Sun and Smoke Damage
• Varicose Veins
• Enlarged Pores
• Dull Complexion
• Uneven Pigmentation
• Pigmented Skin Areas
• Rosacea and Redness
• Liver Spots
• Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Frequently Asked Questions:

What results can I expect?

After only one treatment, your skin will have a more even tone with a smoother look and feel. Sunspots will fade. Pore sizes will shrink. Fine lines and wrinkles will gradually decrease in size. These improvements will steadily increase with each treatment. Patients with rosacea will see a progressive decrease in redness with every treatment.

What will recovery be like?

Post-Photofacial discomfort is almost nonexistent. After treatment with most light systems, the treated skin may appear a little flushed and capillaries may seem to be more visible. The flushed look soon fades away, and the capillaries appear to vanish, leaving the skin looking younger.

How many treatments will I need?

Depending on the area treated, most clients need a series of approximately five treatments. Treatments usually take from 15 to 30 minutes and are spaced out at approximately three week intervals.

Do Photofacials hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation to be like the snap of a rubber band on the skin as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece. Some patients opt to have topical anesthesia. After treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.
