1. What is Photo Facial Skin Rejuvenation? TOP
 

What is Photo Facial Skin Rejuvenation?Photo Facial Rejuvenation was designed to combat the effects of aging and damaged skin in a softer, gentler way. The redness and flushing of rosacea can be reduced 80 to 90 percent. It can be used to treat the full face, neck, chest and even the hands to give them a more youthful appearance.

Using the advanced AFT system, our doctors gently delivers precise amounts of light energy through your skin's surface. Treatments are spaced out at three to four week intervals.

The energy is delivered at specific settings for each treatment to maximize your results. The light energy stimulates the production of collagen. As the new collagen forms, it softens the appearance of aging skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are decreased. The redness associated with rosacea can be dramatically reduced.

  
     
2. What results can I expect? TOP
  AFT Photo FacialAfter only one treatment, your skin will have a more even tone with a smoother look and feel. Sunspots will fade. Pore sizes will shrink. Fine lines and wrinkles will gradually decrease in size. These improvements will steadily increase with each treatment. Patients with rosacea will see a progressive decrease in redness with every treatment.  
     
3. What will recovery be like? TOP
 

There is no discomfort during or after the treatment. After treatment with AFT Photo Facial, the treated skin may appear a little flushed and capillaries may seem to be more visible. The flushed look soon fades away, and the capillaries appear to vanish, leaving the skin looking younger. Most importantly, there is NO DOWNTIME!
