Los Angeles Photofacial
Advanced Treatment for Skin Damage
Photofacial Overview
IPL Photorejuvenation Photofacials offer an advanced method for revitalizing your skin. The superficial effects
of aging and sun exposure can be erased, and your youthful glow restored. What so many Los Angeles Photofacial
patients especially love about the treatment is that it doesn't disrupt the skin in the process of treating it.
Since it's a noninvasive procedure that uses photorejuvenation techniques, it involves minimal side effects and
low recovery time.
 About Photofacial
Treatments
Number of Photofacial Treatments Needed
A total of 4-5 photofacial treatments is generally most effective, each usually spaced about 3-4 weeks
apart. This varies between patients, but during your initial consultation, you will receive the recommended
treatment plan for your goals. Most individual treatments last about 15-30 minutes. Many patients follow up their
initial photofacial package with a yearly touch-up.
Conditions Treated By Photofacial
The benefits of Photorejuvenation treatments are great. Some of the skin conditions or flaws effectively
minimized by the procedure include:
— Rosacea
— Broken Capillaries
— Large Pores
— Dark Undereye Circles
— Age Spots
— Wrinkles
— Sun Damage & Freckles on the Face, Hands, Chest, Shoulders
— Undesirable Skin Texture
Sensation During Intense Pulsed Laser Light treatment
Each pulse of light feels like a mild sting, similar to
the snap of a rubber band. No anesthesia is required, although some
patients prefer to utilize a topical anesthetic.
Recovery
It is rare to experience side effects or discomfort after a photofacial treatment. Minor redness and
swelling may occur, as is the case after any laser treatment, but only temporarily. Any pigmented spots that were
treated may initially appear darker after the procedure. This is normal and also temporary; the color will quickly
fade and blend, revealing a younger, smoother complexion. While good hygiene should not be compromised, photofacial
patients should avoid scrubbing or using abrasive cleansers for the first several days after treatment. And, as
always, the skin should be protected from UV rays with SPF 30 or higher sun block.
