Fotofacial is a non-invasive treatment that erases skin damage without disruption of the skin's surfaces, hence no "down time." Fotofacial is an intense pulsed light treatment, not a laser. Treatments are generally administered in a series of procedures, providing excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects, and high satisfaction.

What conditions can be treated?

Redness and Flushing
Rosacea
Small facial blood vessels
Irregular Pigmentation
Age Spots
Fine Wrinkles

What makes Fotofacial different?

Fotofacial is a revolutionary new treatment, which unlike laser therapy, chemical peels, or dermabrasion, has no "down time." Following a treatment patients can go back to their usual activities and can apply makeup immediately.

How many treatments are needed?

A series of 4 to 5 treatments are recommended for best results. Treatments are usually scheduled 3 to 4 weeks apart. By dividing the therapy into several treatments, it preserves the wonderful no down time feature that people appreciate so much.

What are the treatments like?

A cold gel is applied to the area to be treated. The hand piece is gently applied to the skin. A slight stinging sensation is felt. Anesthetic cream can be applied before the procedure, but it is seldom required. At first, the skin may be flushed, but these effects fade within 24 hours.

Are Fotofacial treatments safe?

Fotofacial treatments are very safe. Rarely, temporary mild bruising may occur in the treated areas, which will resolve completely in a few days.
