What You Need to Know About Photofacials 

Photofacials can address a number of skin concerns including sun damage, rosacea, acne and more. So, what exactly is it and how do you prepare for one? Here are a few answers to some of the most common questions about photofacials: 

• What are they? – A photofacial is a non-invasive rejuvenation treatment that uses Intense Pulsed Light to enhance the appearance of your skin. The broad-spectrum light can target redness and brown spots, reduce pores and improve skin texture. Typically, 3-5 treatments are needed to achieve beautiful and noticeable results. 
• Why are they beneficial? – Sun spots are one of the most common signs of premature aging. Photofacials are a simple yet effective solution that reduce the appearance of skin damage, improve skin tone, soften fine lines and plump up your skin. It is the best option for individuals who want a significant change but do not want to go under the knife.
• How do you prepare for one? – Before your photofacial treatment, make sure your skin is clean and free from lotions or makeup. Also, avoid applying anything to your skin that may irritate it 2-3 days ahead of your treatment and do not go tanning or use a self-tanner. Depending on where you are having your treatment done, you may be asked to shave prior to your appointment. 
• What else should you know? – Photofacial sessions are extremely quick and can even be done during a lunch break. While exact times vary for each patient, treatments are often no more than 15-20 minutes long. Treatments should be performed 3 weeks apart and there is very little to no recuperation time. Regardless of whether you have had a photofacial treatment or not, make sure to wear sunscreen. Finally, for the first 2 days after treatment, avoid hot baths and try to minimize any direct contact with the skin to allow it to heal.
