Photofacial

Our Photofacial process is used for the treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions on the face, as well as the arms, chest, and other large areas. The Photofacial process is able to clear sunspots, rosacea, telangiectasias, and other conditions, in order to improve skin tone.

For many people, looking great is a simple matter of a skin rejuvenation treatment for pigment and vessel clearance to reveal clearer, more attractive skin. We have a treatment for pigment and vessel clearance that’s fast, easy and well-tolerated. We put the power of pulsed light and lasers in your hands to strategically clear vascular and pigmented lesions. The secret of our pulsed light’s performance lies in our dual filter technology that delivers optimally filtered wavelengths of pulsed light, for results as good as or better than those of competitive single-application lasers.

You’ll save time with one system for a wide range of treatment procedures, including vein removal, rosacea, telangiectasias, hemangiomas, sun damage, dyschromia, melasma, poikiloderma, and angiomas on the face and other body areas.

Treatment generally lasts 15 to 30 minutes. Immediately following treatment, the skin may appear red and flushed and tiny capillaries may appear more visible. Brown spots may appear darker, but these disappear gradually in a matter of hours.

Generally, results are obtained in 3-6 treatments. In rare cases, one may require more.

Our medical spa in Fremont offers skincare lasers and pulsed light devices that deliver energy to target and destroy vascular and pigmented lesions associated with spider veins, reticular veins, rosacea, telangiectasias, hemangiomas, sun damage, age spots, dyschromia, melasma, poikiloderma, and angiomas from hands, legs, chest, arms, and face.

Using the principle of selective photo thermolysis, these treatments target different chromophores in the skin, which selectively absorb the laser or light energy as heat and yield the desired response. These optimal wavelengths of light clear vascular and pigmented lesions by targeting the chromophores of hemoglobin (for vascular lesions) and melanin (for pigmented lesions). These damaged lesions are then cleared by the body, removing the appearance of the lesion from the skin. Pigmented lesions undergo mild desquamation and slough off within two or three days, while the vascular lesions blanch and then resolve within 10 to 14 days.
