Is an LED Photofacial Right for You?

An LED photofacial can yield amazing results. It reduces sun damage, brown spots and unwanted freckles. It helps remove damage from broken capillaries and acne. Blotchy redness and Rosacea can be diminished. The photofacial provides a youthful appearance through elimination of minor wrinkling. The skin will be smoothed, tightened and brightened. The results are similar to those of a BOTOX treatment without any needles involved. In fact, during a photofacial no skin is removed at all!

HOW DOES A PHOTOFACIAL WORK?

A LED photofacial uses LED light to target collagen and blood vessels beneath the protective epidermal layer of skin. The skin absorbs these light particles which damage or fragment hemoglobin (red spots) and melanin (brown pigment in freckles and age spots). The body then removes them, leaving a radiant complexion behind.

DURING THE SALON VISIT

An LED photofacial is a relaxing experience. You will lie down and feel like you are sunbathing at the beach. Using a handheld device, your esthetician will apply a brief light. The sensation is warm and comforting. The entire process usually takes about an hour, depending on the amount of area treated during the procedure. The results from the procedure become more and more profound as you continue to receive LED treatments. For severe cases, like those with severe acne, it may take longer, but the results are astounding.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT PROGRAM

Your licensed esthetician will develop the treatment plan that is right for your personal case. However, the photofacial reaps the most amazing results during a three to five-month period. During this time you should have three to five treatments about one month apart.

WHAT THE DIFFERENT COLORS DO

The green LED lighting targets melanocytes or dark spots. It can also help to even up an uneven tan. The red light assists in collagen production and can help to heal wounds and reduce wrinkles. The blue light targets acne with singlet oxygen, destroying bacteria.

A photofacial can be your solution to a beautiful complexion free of the blemishes that life can leave behind. It is important to do your homework and find a professional to work with you and develop the best treatment plan for your skin type.
