Benefits of Photofacial This Fall
September 10 2021
People of today are looking for ways to fight the appearance of aging through the use of technologies that are offered to both women and men. Refreshing the appearance no longer requires the extremes of yesteryear, rather, the treatments of today are not as invasive as treatments of the past. Photofacial is the treatment that works not only on the face but also on the chest and neck areas.How Does it Work?
The way the treatment works is a beam with focused light targets red spots and brown spots, where pigment is targeted. The lower layer of skin on the face, called the dermis, is heated, which helps to encourage collagen production. Once a Photophacial treatment is completed, skin becomes slightly pink in color and can be immediately covered with makeup, if one so desires. Over the course of a week or two, after treatment, the brown spots will actually become slightly darker until they fall away. Most patients require three treatments.
Benefits of a Photofacial
Treatment Time
Photofacials do not take a great amount of time to be administered. Vistoso Med Spa can complete the treatment in as little time as thirty minutes. Some more finely tuned treatments may take longer, however, the treatment is painless overall and completed in a short period of time and with excellent results.
Treatment Areas
Even though the name implies the treatment is for the facial areas, it can also be applied elsewhere. Photofacial procedures can also be used on the hands, chest, arms, and neck. A number of visits are not required, as a treatment for all areas can be completed in one visit.
Reduced Recovery Time
A Photofacial treatment does not require a long and extended recovery time. In fact, when compared to other light treatments, Photofacials recover in very little time. Recovery generally takes a couple of weeks.
Long-Lasting Effect
Photofacial targets the skin deep enough that results last a long time. The long-lasting results will keep the face and other areas looking fresh and smooth for years after treatment. Contact our team today to make an appointment!
