How Does the FotoFacial® RF Procedure Work?
The FotoFacial® RF procedure is a series of five or more full face treatments, usually three to four weeks apart. Each treatment takes 15 to 30 minutes. A new device called the Aurora® uses patented technology developed by Syneron. Technically not a laser, the Aurora, delivers a burst of light energy synchronized with a low intensity electrical pulse of radio frequency energy. This combination produces very efficient heating of dilated blood vessels, darkly pigmented spots, and hair follicles causing these unwanted marks to gradually fade after each treatment. At the same time, the dermis is heated and fibroblasts are stimulated to produce new collagen. The new collagen lessens wrinkles and scars, smoothes surface texture, shrinks dilated pores, and tightens loose skin. In a recent study conducted by Drs. Bitter and Mulholland, the FotoFacial® RF procedure diminished the appearance of fine lines on average about 60%. This degree of improvement is about twice as much as other non-invasi
