What is a Photofacial?

Skin damage due to excessive sun exposure, photo-ageing, sometimes shows up as premature wrinkling, leathery skin, freckles, age spots and broken blood vessels/capillaries. The best defense against the damaging effects of the sun is a broad spectrum sunscreen which provides protection against both UVA and UVB radiation. Reversing sun damage is possible with a combination of products and procedures, such as the Photo Facial.

Photo Facial is a non-invasive treatment which usesĀ  light-based technology to deliverĀ  intense pulsed light (IPL) to the skin for rejuvenation. It is a gentle and highly effective method of targeting damaged skin, hyperpigmentation, red spots (haemangioma), small facial veins (telangiectasia), rosacea, redness & flushing. A photo facial also stimulates new collagen growth and tightens underlying skin resulting in smoother texture and a reduction in fine lines. A series of 4-6 treatments at 4 week intervals is recommended.
