What is PhotoLightFACIAL?
The PhotoLight is a “non-ablative” treatment for the skin that minimizes the signs of aging and sun-
damage by removal of brown spots, pigment, red veins and the “blush” of rosecea.
What is “non-ablative”?
A “non-ablative” treatment leaves your skin intact and undamaged. The pulse emits light that
passes easily through the upper layers of your skin to the unwanted red and brown pigment
underneath. The light is absorbed by these pigments and transformed into heat that damages the
irregularities. As an additional benefit, you skin’s collagen framework is enhanced.
How many treatments can I expect?
We recommend about 4-6 treatments every 4 weeks to achieve desired results. Because every
skin condition is different, we require a consultation with one of our skin care professionals during
which a treatment plan will be discussed.
What does it feel like?
It may feel like a rubber band snap on your skin, but the feeling is very tolerable. Unlike most
pulsed light systems, no numbing creams or gels may be required.
What can I expect after treatment?
It may feel like a mild sunburn for a few days following the treatment. In some cases, it may look
like a superficial burn, and in rare cases, a blister may appear. It is very important to follow all
post treatment instructions and to stay out of the sun for at least a 4 week period pre and post
treatment to avoid damage to the treated area. If you cannot avoid sun exposure, a sunscreen of
at least 30 SPF should be used.
