Photo Facials
A revolutionary advance in laser cosmetics that removes discoloration and
textural irregularities, resulting in the appearance of healthier, more vibrant skin.
If you suffer from photo damage, sun damage, or other environmental damage,
Photo Facial works exceptional well at removing discoloration, improving skin
texture and tone while providing a slight tightening effect to the skin. Years of sun
bathing and exposure to the natural elements can be removed after a short, no
down time protocol.
A typical protocol would be five sessions, spaced three to four weeks apart. For
discrete vascular areas such as spider veins and broken capillaries, a more aggressive
approach may be determined.
Photo Facial uses gentle light and thermal energy to promote collagen production in the
dermis and restore skin to a more youthful state. Brown spots (pigmented imperfections)
from sun damage and aging, red blotching from spider vessels or rosacea (vascular
imperfections), and rough porous skin texture will improve over a treatment series. Treatments
consistently achieve visible improvement with little discomfort. Studies have concluded that flushing,
redness and symptoms of rosacea improve more than 75% on average.
