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.
