Photofacials to Look Younger

By Stina Delance


Photofacial is the name given to a modern method of skin rejuvenation, where irregular skin tone is corrected along with redness using pulse light technology. 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.

Browns spots and broken blood vessels around the nose, chin, cheeks, neck, hands are classic signs of sun damage and aging of the skin. The sun causes UV-protecting pigment to form on skin, which appears as unappealing brown splotches that are sometimes referred to as age spots. The injuries caused by the sun exposure stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in those areas. The new blood vessel formation is actually inflammation of the skin.

Blood is brought in to the area from these new vessels in order to bring healing compounds in, and to remove damaged cells. After the injury or inflammation goes away, these ruptured blood vessels remain along with brown spots, causing skin to appear further aged. These pigmented and red vascular spots create an aged appearance to the facial skin which is called dyschromia, which is a sign of facial aging.

How does it work?

A filter is used to separate the bright intense pulsed light from the intended color of flash light that is directed toward the skin. The pigmented areas of the skin that form age spots along with the burst blood vessels absorb the photofacial light selectively once it gets to the skin. 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. It only takes a quarter to half an hour for the treatment, and then the patient can go on with their day. Immediately after treatment you may notice some initial redness and capillary exposure. These minor side effects are quick to dissipate and the patient can immediately see the results of the treatment. Photofacials are pretty light on skin, especially when compared to the possible scarring and peeling that can result when using lasers for treatment. 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.

A patient will normally have a session every two or three weeks, with as few as three treatments needed, up to about a maximum of seven. 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. Try to stay out of direct sunlight before a photofacial, and also afterwards. Exposure and tanning before treatment may occasionally lead to adverse effects such as blistering and dyspigmentation of the skin. 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.
