Photofacial is a popular skin treatment that utilizes IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, also known as BBL (Broad Band Light). BBL is an innovative technology that sets new standards for skin conditions associated with aging, active lifestyles, and sun damage. BBL energy allows us to precisely treat age, sun spots, small facial veins, and many other skin conditions. The laser is tunable which means we have the ability to tailor specific treatments for each individual patient.
How does BBL work?
The light energy delivered by the BBL will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate new collagen. This process will restore your skin to its natural beauty, blending its natural colors and making smoother, vibrant, and younger looking. In addition, the photothermal energy will eliminate fine vessels that cause redness and reduce unwanted melanin that produces pigmented lesions.
The conditions that can be treated include:
- Pigmented lesions (freckles and age spots)
- Vascular lesions (small blood vessels)
- Acne
- Skin Firmness
- Uneven skin texture
- Unwanted hair
What's SkinTyte?
SkinTyte is non-invasive, has no down time, and is safe for all skin types. As we age, the cumulative effects of sun, gravity, genetics, and other factors cause a loss of skin elasticity. This leads to the appearance of loose skin, sagging, and wrinkles. We use Sciton technology to deliver infrared heat energy deep into your skin to stimulate collagen production. You will see temporary tightening effects in the first 24 hours. More permanent effects will gradually build over the next few weeks.
SkinTyte utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat soft tissue while protecting the entire treated area with sapphire contact cooling. Targeted heating causes soft tissue coagulation and collagen contraction. This process initiates the body’s natural healing process, resulting in a firmer, more youthful skin appearance. The full effect of skin-firming treatments can be seen over several subsequent months.
Recommendation- 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart
