Photofacials are well-tolerated and do not require topical anesthesia. Our photofacial technology features shorter pulses of light and sapphire cooling, resulting in a more comfortable treatment compared to other photofacial modalities. That said, the photofacial has been compared to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin. This sensation immediately dissipates when the light stops, so there’s no need to worry about lingering discomfort. Some patients report a mild sunburn sensation following treatment, but this side effect is not typical.
