Skin resurfacing can be done through a number of aesthetic treatments. One of the most common and effective skin care procedures is a Photo Facial. Photo Facials utilize intermittent pulsed light (IPL) to remove the outermost layer of your skin. The result is that the existing lines and scars on your face become flush with the rest of your skin, leaving the surface area smooth and renewed. When the new epithelium cells grow in the areas that were treated, they will have more collagen and an increased cell turnover rate – which produces a firmer and more youthful appearance to the skin.
Most medium-depth wrinkles and scars can be minimized by the treatment, leaving patients looking as though they have had a facelift. The deeper the scars and lines, the more treatments it may take to produce the results you desire.
Healing time is minimal and generally pain-free but, overall, depend upon the size of the treatment area. Most patients return to normal activities within 10 days, however some redness may be visible for a few months. This redness can be easily covered with makeup until it diminishes.
