Photofacial Rejuvenation Frequently Asked Questions

Because of the following reasons:

  • Radio Frequency is a highly controllable energy heat source, working synergistically with optical energy
  • Enables the use of light energy at a level that is safe for all skin types
  • No additional risk to the epidermis
  • Precisely targets areas “preheated” by optical energy
  • Contact cooling on skin’s surface provides increased comfort and safety

While treatment is gentle and virtually painless, a topical numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort if you are particularly sensitive.

The full face, neck, hands and body may be targeted. Although it’s called a photo facial, that doesn’t mean it’s only for your face! You can use it on other parts of your body with results that are just as safe and effective.

If you just recently sunbathed and are tanned, then you’ll probably need to reschedule your session. Tanned skin is an indication that it’s been damaged, which means a photofacial treatment will be riskier for you.

Yes, the complexion beautifying system is safe for patients with darker skin shades. Whatever your skin tone or type, our medial aestheticians will make sure that your treatment will be performed safely. However, you should know that the risk of changes in skin pigmentation may be higher.

Accutane® is a medication for acne. If you are currently taking Accutane®, photofacial rejuvenation is not suitable for you. You should wait at least six months after you’ve stopped taking the drug before you start your photofacial rejuvenation treatments. We’ve had some patients who were able to clear up their acne with photofacial rejuvenation without taking Accutane®, and didn’t have to experience the side effects related to the drug!

It’s safer if you delay your treatments until after you’ve given birth.

Photo rejuvenation treatment involves directing high energy light waves at your problem areas to reduce or eliminate facial wrinkles. IPL energy boosts the production of collagen, the building block of healthy skin. With higher levels of collagen, your skin becomes remodelled to make it healthier and stronger. That’s how wrinkles disappear for smoother more supple skin. The results of each session get better and better.

Right after your treatment session, you’ll be able to get back to work. However, your skin will be red and maybe a bit puffy. The more sensitive your skin, the redder and puffier you’ll probably be. Make sure to protect your skin from sun exposure during your recovery because it will be hypersensitive to UV. Your skin will be delicate for a couple of weeks. During that time, make sure to follow the instructions you’ll get from us to properly care for your complexion.

The best results are achieved in a series of 4-6 sessions spaced a couple of weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be booked every six months or so, depending on the individual patient. Protecting the skin from the sun and following a healthy lifestyle will prolong results. The treatment resolves issues caused by genetic and environmental aging factors.
