Photofacial benefits
What are the benefits of photofacials?
The photofacial benefits are manifold. This is why many clients opt for this treatment in the fight against aging. Photofacials are able to produce multiple results because they use “Selective Photothermolysis”.
This method allows the destruction of a specified target without damaging the surrounding tissue. The method consists of irradiating the target with intense pulse light (IPL). As a result, the targeted area is heated above body temperature. This surrounding tissue is almost not heated because the target absorbs the radiation much more strongly than the surrounding tissue,.
Depending on how we enter the settings on the equipment, it will use selective photothermolysis to achieve its task. The settings entered direct it as to what we are targeting, while calibrating itself to work with the client’s skin tone.
Benefit 1: Removal of hyperpigmentation (ACLARA)
Photofacials are a top choice for those seeking the removal of dark spots, sun spots, and pigmented acne scarring. It works by delivering quick pulses of UV light to the targeted area. Subsequently, the spot breaks up and the pigment is brought to the surface. The pigment is shed with your skin’s natural processes. As a result, a clear and uniform complexion is revealed.
Benefit 2: Removal of redness on the face (ALIVIA)
Different from ACLARA, this treatment works on superficial blood vessels. The applied energy is absorbed by the oxyhemoglobin (formed by the combination of hemoglobin with oxygen) in the blood within the vessel. As a result, the blood coagulates and the vessel breaks up into particles that are naturally filtered away through the body’s lymphatic system.
Benefit 3: Skin tightening and pore minimizing (ALISA)
Photofacial treatments reverse the signs of aging through the non-traumatic removal of skin surface layers that induce neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen).
After, the body’s natural wound-healing response begins to regenerate the epidermis and the underlying wounded skin layers. This gives an overall glow and youthful look to the skin. More specifically, it tightens the skin by plumping fine lines and wrinkles and minimizing large pores.
