A mild amount of discomfort can be expected during treatments. Skin may appear red and flushed immediately following a treatment and small capillaries and brown spots may be more visible. All symptoms of treatment gradually fade over a few hours to days. Results can be seen after the first treatment. Skin will be smoother and will have a more even tone.
Improvements increase with each treatment.
Five treatments are recommended for maximum results, although some patients will benefit from additional treatments. Chemical peels, micro-dermabrasion, and laser resurfacing can be painful, cause unattractive and uncomfortable results after treatment which require downtime to recover and heal, and are ineffective in treating redness and flushing or dilated capillaries. FotoFacial Treatments are the first effective treatment for facial and neck flushing and redness. FotoFacial Treatments result in smoother, healthier, and more youthful skin without requiring recovery time and with minimal discomfort. FotoFacial Treatments can be implemented after laser resurfacing and facelift surgery or used in conjunction with chemical peeling and micro-dermabrasion to improve results of these procedures.
