Photofacial Treatments
Revive Your Skin with a PhotoFacial also called photo rejuvenation.
PhotoFacial is a light based procedure that removes the signs of sun damage such as sun freckles, or vascular lesions, uneven pigmentation and superficial wrinkles from the surface of the skin. Dramatic improvements can be accomplished with no downtime and minimal discomfort.We all want clear skin, but nature has a way of sabotaging us with frustrating imperfections.
The Medilux Process uses pulsed light to treat the following problems:
Pigmented Lesions (Sunspots or Age Spots) - occur in response to sun induced skin injury and appear as dark brown circles, known as Solar Lentigines. There can also be diffuse browning of the skin, known as Actinic Bronzing.
Vascular Lesions - superficial blue, red, or purple veins under the skin’s surface. Some common types include Rosacea ( facial inflammation) and Spider Veins (tiny vessels that appear near the surface of the face).
Dull Complexions.
You don’t have to live with these imperfections! Appearances Count. Don't Let Yours Be Ruined by Imperfections!
Frequently asked questions
What body areas can I get treated?
Any area, except directly around the eyes. The face, neck, chest, arms, hands, legs, etc. can all be treated quickly and safely.
What are Medilux treatment sessions like?
Quick and easy! After your initial preparation, your treatment provider will move the Palomar pulsed light handpiece over your skin. The handpiece emits a light that breaks up the pigment in the lesions. Most people perceive the light as a gentle “snapping” sensation, which causes little to no discomfort.
What should I expect after treatment?
Pigmented lesion will darken slightly after treatment, and then fade away after 10-14 days.
Vessels (visible veins) generally undergo immediate graying or blanching and the surrounding area may redden. The vessels then fade after about 10-14 days.
Most people experience some mild temporary redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, in the treated area shortly after treatment. This does not interfere with normal activities and usually subsides within a day. In
some cases, the redness may last longer, but will still be mild and temporary. Linda Marie will explain other less likely side effects to you.
What is the difference between Medilux pulsed-light and laser treatments?
Pulsed-light systems and laser are very similar and treat lesion in basically the same way. However, the Medilux process uses a new technology that removes lesions much faster than lasers. Medilux treatments can fit even the busiest person's schedule.
