What are Photofacials - The Tech

Photofacial procedures utilize the IPL technology which is a device that moves over the skin and emits high-intensity wavelengths that reach deep within the skin layer. This causes a fundamental breakdown of damaged cells which the body then rapidly removes during the healing processes. This is an FDA-approved procedure that is considered safe, non-surgical, and effective. It treats multiple conditions and issues during each 30-minute session. Photofacials are one of the best options for most people looking to brighten and rejuvenate the face while correcting any scars, fine lines, and red/brown spots and breakouts.

When getting photofacials you should withdraw from sun exposure as much as possible for at least 2 weeks but optimally 4 weeks before treatment. You'll need to withdraw from sun exposure approximately one week after the procedure.
