PHOTOFACIAL
What is a Photofacial (BBL)
A photofacial, also known as a Broad Band Light (BBL) treatment is a type of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy that targets a broader spectrum of light to address various skin concerns.
Reduces Sun Damage and Age Spots: Photofacials target and diminish pigmentation irregularities like sun spots, age spots, and freckles by breaking up the pigment under the skin.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone: IPL stimulates collagen production, which can help smooth out rough skin texture and create a more even skin tone.
Minimizes Redness and Rosacea: The treatment can reduce visible redness, broken capillaries, and inflammation associated with conditions like rosacea.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, photofacials can improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Immediately following your treatment, the treated area can be pinkish-red with slight swelling which will typically dissipate within 24 hours. After the treatment, you may notice that sun spots and discoloration actually appear darker and slightly more prominent. This is normal and a good sign that the treatment is working. Over the next few days, brown spots and other blemishes will begin to surface on the skin. The spots may actually raise and look like dark coffee grounds on the skin. These spots will naturally flake off over the following days, leaving your skin brighter and healthier.
