Benefits of Photofacials

Getting a photofacial can correct uneven skin tone and texture. This procedure is a non-invasive laser treatment that utilizes a broad spectrum of light to treat rosacea, pigmented and/or vascular lesions and sun spots. This amazing non-invasive treatment uses IPL (intense pulsed light) to give your skin a youthful glow with a smooth complexion. Having a photofacial can be done on your lunch break! This procedure takes about 30 minutes and will have your skin looking younger and smoother! No anesthesia is required and the best part is…pair photofacials with a good skin care regimen and results may last up to two years!

Photofacial treatments are primarily applied on the face, but it is effective when treating the chest, neck and hands. Essex Med Spa will tailor this procedure to treat your specific skin concern(s) and skin type – giving you the best results! The best results from having photofacials can be seen after four to five treatments; however, results will be noticeable after your first treatment! Each treatment can be completed about four weeks apart.

If you are thinking about whether or not photofacials are right for you, keep these tips in mind:

• Pre-Photofacial: Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and the use of self-tanning lotion for at least two weeks prior to treatment. Do not receive Botox injections in the area of treatment during the week prior to your appointment.
• Post-Photofacial: You should avoid hot tubs and saunas while the skin is red. Be sure and avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and self-tanning lotion in the areas treated for two months after treatment. Apply sunscreen daily to maintain the desired effect on your skin.
