Vein Center of America proudly offers Photo-Rejuvenation Therapy or commonly referred
to as a PhotoFacial or Fotofacial. Does having sunspots, age
spots and facial vessels make you feel older on the outside
instead of the youthful person you are on the inside?
PhotoFacial Rejuvenation is the thing for you!
PhotoFacial or Fotofacial procedures are performed with our
Palomar StarLux intense pulsed light system using specialized hand
pieces which filter light from different parts of the spectrum. Each
band of the spectrum has a wavelength that is ideal for different
treatments, such as sunspot removal and vessel clearance.
Photofacial technology will remove skin imperfections like sunspots,
age spots, and superficial blue, red or purple veins and reduce the
appearance of Rosacea. PhotoFacials improve the skin by working
beneath the epidermis to increase collagen and tighten the skin. The
intense pulsed light is attracted to both the blood supply and
melanin which removes unwanted facial veins and sun damage from the
skin. Some patients have noticed an improvement with acne breakouts
as well.
Safe, Comfortable, and Fast!
Our PhotoFacial RejuveLux treatment provides the most skin-safe,
comfortable, and effective PhotoFacials available, without any
downtime. PhotoFacial treatments are quick and you can return
to work or other activities-looking and feeling great after the
treatment!
Benefits of PhotoFacials or Fotofacial:
- Sunspots/Sun Damage: The sunspots or age spots will darken
after treatment and be naturally shed from the skin within one
week.
- Rosacea: Skin tone will be much improved, with less
pronounced redness within a week of treatment.
- Spider Veins: Vessels may disappear after treatment or
they may appear darker and then fully or partially fade
within 10 to 14 days.
For maximum results we recommend a series of treatments to
achieve complete clearance from sunspots, Rosacea and vessels.
PhotoFacial treatments can be performed in any area, except
directly around the eyes. The face, neck, chest, arms,
hands, legs, etc. can all be treated quickly and safely.
PhotoFacials and what you can expect after treatment:
Immediately after a PhotoFacial treatment, you can expect a mild
sunburn-like sensation. This usually lasts 2 to 24 hours.

How does the Photo Facial
treatment work?
During the treatment a thin layer of cooling gel will be
applied and the technician will use a delicate,
computer-generated hand piece to deliver gentle pulses of
light energy to the skin. The process usually takes between
15 and 30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
What areas can be treated?
This treatment can be used on any area of the body. It
is most commonly performed on the face, neck, and/or chest,
and hands.
What can I expect during PhotoFacial treatment?
The laser technician will apply brief pulses of
therapeutic light to the skin through a handpiece. The
treatment time is typically 30 minutes, depending on area or
areas being treated.
How does the PhotoFacial treatment feel?
Most patients describe the sensation to be like the snap
of a rubber band on the skin as the pulses of energy are
delivered through the hand piece. After treatment, the
discomfort is virtually nonexistent.
What can I expect after and PhotoFacial treatment?
After a series of treatments is performed, you will
experience a significant lightening of darkened areas and/or
a significant fading of Rosacea as well as a softening of
textural irregularities.
How soon will I see results?
The improvement is gradual and will be more visible with
each treatment. Generally, three to five treatments are
recommended for optimal results. After the first treatment,
most patients begin to notice improved skin texture, as
multiple treatments stimulate new collagen formation in the
dermal layer.
