What is a Photofacial
The Lunchtime Skin Treatment with Maximum Results
An IPL Photofacial is a term for a skin treatment that uses Light Based Technology called “Intense Pulse Light” or “IPL”. Photofacials have a number of different uses and can treat a variety of skin conditions, but are mostly used for treating brown spots, broken capillaries, rosacea, and collagen production for amazing anti-aging results. This treatment requires no downtime which appeals to most men and women, considering the hectic lifestyles that we lead.
In Arizona, with the constant sun exposure, patients can acquire moderate to severe skin damage. As we get older, some of that damage can develop into irregular or blotchy pigmentation spots most commonly on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands. These red or brown spots can detract from a person’s beauty as they interfere with the clarity of skin color. To combat this, more and more patients are getting treated with a series of Photofacials. Depending on the area being treated, the amount of damage, and the results you want, the number of Photofacials needed can vary. Our experienced practitioners offer complimentary consultations to determine the best plan of action with optimal results for your skin care needs.
Of course, no skin program is complete without good maintenance care and medical grade at-home products including 4% hydroquinone which blocks the overproduction of melanin on a cellular level. For long term benefit, any treatment should be combined with an effective sunscreen. We offer a full line of medical grade skin care products to compliment and enhance the results of your IPL Photofacial treatments. The products we carry are of the highest quality available in the industry. Because of this, they are only available in Doctor’s offices. Contrary to popular belief, our medical grade products such as Obagi and Skinmedica are affordable and comparable to prices you would pay at your local department store with prescription strength active ingredients.
