Years of sun exposure combined with the natural aging process can cause unwanted brown spots, visible capillaries, spider veins and fine lines. Laser photofacials can be an effective way to treat these conditions with the added benefit of no down time. This procedure utilizes intense pulsed light technology (IPL) to improve photo-aged skin, remove sunspots and broken capillaries. The laser emits light which is absorbed by the pigment in sunspots and blood vessels. The light gets converted to heat which then dissolves the pigmented cells and shrinks the blood vessels. This treatment is also very effective for rosacea and improves the redness associated with this condition. IPL photofacials also stimulate collagen production which will help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. There is no significant recovery period for this procedure and you may resume your normal activities immediately. To obtain optimal results, 4-6 treatments spaced 2-3 weeks apart will be required. Treatments may also be performed on the neck, chest, arms, hands and legs.
