Photofacial Skin Rejuvenation

At United Laser Clinics, our goal is to have you looking and feeling your best.  Skin is the largest organ on our body, it faces the harshness of the elements on a daily basis, its what protects us from the outside world.  For all that you’re skin has given you, its time to give something back.  If you’ve been longing for that smooth, fresh, blemish free skin you had when you were a child, then Photofacial Skin Rejuvenation at United Laser Clinics is exactly what you need.  This revolutionary treatment can revitalize your skin and leave you with a fresh, smooth appearance.

Photofacial Skin Rejuvenation utilizes pulsed light technology with multiple wavelengths of light energy that are able to reach underlying skin tissue at all different levels.  The laser energy penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by the melanin within the skin, which works to trigger collagen production.   As we grow older, the natural production of collagen within the body decreases.  Collagen is a structural protein found within the body that helps to give the skin its shape. 

When collagen production is reduced, lines, wrinkles, redness, age spots and other ailments begin to form on the face as well as in other areas of the body.  Photofacial Skin Rejuvenation at United Laser Clinics works to stimulate natural collagen growth within the body.  As the new collagen forms, patients will experience immediate reduction of facial lines and wrinkles within the targeted area.  They will also see that age and sun spots, as well as the redness caused by Rosacea will also begin to minimize and eventually disappear.

Frequently Asked Photofacial Skin Rejuvenation Questions
For those just starting Skin Rejuvenation research, we at United Laser Clinics want to take the time to answer some frequently asked questions about the Photofacial procedure.

What are the Photofacial Skin Rejuvenation treatments like?
The United Laser Clinics technician will treat the area of concern with the Photofacial specialized hand piece, pulsing it all the while. Each pulse will send a beam of light through your skin. A flashing light, an audible tone and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the hand piece is being pulsed.

What should I expect after Skin Rejuvenation treatment?
Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild, sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts 2-24 hours and can be soothed with a cool gel or an ice pack. For sunspot/sun damage treatments – the sunspots will darken after treatment and naturally shed from the skin within 1-2 weeks. For rosacea treatments – skin tone will be more even toned with less pronounced redness within a week after treatment. Typically, several treatments will be necessary to achieve complete clearance and even skin tone.

What areas can I get treated?
Except directly around the eyes, any area can be treated. Face, neck, chest, arms, hands, back, legs – can all be treated.

Who will be performing the PhotoFacial treatment?
At United Laser Clinics we are medically supervised and have state certified estheticians with manufacturer certification that will perform the Photofacial Skin Rejuvenation treatments.
