Using a handheld instrument, the technician applies an intense light in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. The heat that is generated by the light causes damage to the vessel or lesion, and the skin begins its natural healing process. PhotoFacial is an excellent modality for removing hyperpigmentation (age spots), evening out skin tone, reducing pore size and stimulating collagen. It may also be able to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Treatments are given at three-week intervals.
