What results can I expect?
After only one treatment, your skin will have a more even tone with a smoother look and feel. Sunspots will fade. Pore sizes will shrink. Fine lines and wrinkles will gradually decrease in size. These improvements will steadily increase with each treatment. Patients with rosacea will see a progressive decrease in redness with every treatment.

What will recovery be like?
Post-Photo Facial discomfort is almost nonexistent. After treatment with most light systems, the treated skin may appear a little flushed and and sun spots will look darker. The flushed look soon fades away, and the sun spots will start to look peppery and fall off within 5-7 days

How many treatments will I need?
Depending on the area treated, most clients need a series of approximately 3-6 treatments. Treatments usually take from 15 to 30 minutes, and can be spaced out in 4-6 week intervals
 

Do Photofacials hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation to be like the snap of a rubber band on the skin as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece. Some patients opt to have a topical anesthesia. After treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.
