how do photo facials work?
Also known as IPL, Photo Facial Rejuvenation is an Intense Pulsed Light treatment that can be delivered in a single session or for some, in multiple sessions. The light is gently pulsed over the skin and is absorbed by either the colour of the lesions, or the colour in the unwanted blood vessels and broken capillaries.
Lesions such as Age Spots, Brown Spots and Hyper pigmentations will darken immediately and then will fade within the days to come. Veins and Capillaries often show an immediate response, but may need a few days to resolve.
An exciting feature about Photo Facial Rejuvenation is that there is little or no downtime. Prior to treatments it is important to avoid direct sun exposure, self-tanning creams and the use of tanning beds. Freshly tanned skin increases the risk of complications and should be avoided – your technician will discuss this with you! To ensure your treatments are both safe and effective, we recommend the use of sunscreen.
