Photofacial is a popular term for a series of treatments to rejuvenate aging or sun-damaged skin. This treatment reduces redness, unwanted blood vessels, brown spots, fine lines, uneven tone, and pore size of the face, neck, chest, and hands (as well as arms, legs and back). Patients can resume normal activities immediately after each treatment. Five treatments are typically suggested spaced one month apart.
More recent technologies for photofacials combine IPL with radiofrequency. Radiofrequency (RF) technology enables us to monitor the temperature of the skin during treatment, making more consistent results and increasing safety. RF also stimulates the formation of new collagen, a skin protein that helps to tighten your skin.
