Photofacial treatments are treatments that use different types of light-emitting tools to treat skin blemishes and discoloration. 

The skin is one of the most sensitive parts of the body and being the largest organ, it proves to be a tedious undertaking for the human race. 

How does one keep the largest organ pretty and tender when it is sensitive to a variety of things including the weather, the hormones, change of soap or lotion? The list could go on forever. 

Thankfully, there are solutions to this. Skin treatments. A small, but revolutionary idea for people whose skin simply does not accept simple necessities. 

Why Photofacial Treatment?

Photofacial treatments are even more important because they focus on the part of the skin that is visible from miles away, the face. The  Photo facial treatments are the buzz these days with thousands of people discovering the unique conditions it meets in treating a variety of skin conditions with few side effects.

 

Do you have acne that simply does not fade? Or black spots that are pretty visible from a distance? Photofacial treatment sounds like the best solution. 

 

These treatments are ideal for people looking for skin perfection. Photofacial treatment requires high-technology equipment and you can easily access it at medical spas, specialized resorts, and holistic care centers. Sounds like a holiday for a few days while you get your skin shining and free of blemishes, doesn’t it?

These treatments are offered at relatively low prices and to get them done, you have to allocate a very small number of days to recovery because as soon as you can, you can be out and about. 

 

Experts however think that after the treatments, you should avoid exposure to UV rays, so no tanning for you for this duration! 

 

The treatment can be the best time for you to kick back and get some reading done or catch up on some Netflix until you are recovered. 

 

With that out of the way, we can explore the various types of photofacial treatments and how impactful they are on getting you the flawless and smooth skin you are hoping for.

 

Types of Photo Facial treatments

For all the hype of photofacial treatments, they have proven to be very efficient in minimizing and getting rid of blemishes and skin discoloration. 

 

It sounds like something out of a dream, you get in, get the treatment and in a few hours, your skin is faultless and ageless. A complete transformation that will in doubt raise your confidence, allow you to hold your head high and strut! 

 

This treatment promises to make you appear timeless and effortless, the quality speaks for itself. These high technology treatments are two types: Intense Pulsed Light(IPL) and Light-Emitting Diode (LED) treatments. 

 

Intense Pulsed Light(IPL) Treatments

This type of treatment is essential for worse cases of skin problems, the serious conditions which affect the deeper layers of skin such as wrinkles and deep spots. 

 

Intense Pulsed Light(IPL) treatment explores the thick layer of skin and rectifies the deeper skin conditions. Sounds high-end? It is, this treatment delves into the deeper part of the skin. 

 

 Other than treating wrinkles and dark spots, this treatment also takes care of brown spots, spider veins, and broken capillaries. 

 

To be the subject of this treatment, you have to be psychologically and physically prepared for the changes. 

 

For one, you have to know that this treatment will leave you glowing and in a much better mood because of the disappearance of your blemishes. But also that the procedure can be painful and uncomfortable from the heat of the light coming from the devices. To help you understand why the procedure might be painful, you have to understand how the treatment is done. 

 

The technician emits blasts of light at intense ranges and pulses that are absorbed deeper in the skin than any other treatment. 

 

Some of the IPL have cooling systems but the intensity of the heat from the light can be painful. It might take more than one visit for the treatments to work. 

 

The treatment has some downsides including swelling, redness, temporary darkening of age spots, blistering, and bruising of the skin. This means that this is not a procedure you can do on vacation, I think this is the biggest downside!

 

You cannot hang out in the sun and if you plan on going outside, you have to use intensive sunblock. To perform this procedure, you have to weigh the benefits with the costs, which are more important? The inability to be outside for a few days and a recovery period or the flawless skin after the end of the recovery period?

 

Light-Emitting Diode Treatments

Do you have sensitive skin and want to treat minor skin blemishes? This is the type of photofacial treatment you need. 

 

This treatment is painless because it uses a narrow spectrum of light to gently boost collagen, and so is relaxing, cool, and after it’s done, you are left with plumper and younger-looking skin. 

 

The narrow spectrum of light kills bacteria, prevents, and cures acne. How cool is this procedure?

 

No pain and maximum benefits. However, the catch is that you have to take at least six of these before you notice the effectiveness.

 

Valuing your skin has to come first. Therefore, after taking these treatments, you have to keep a strict skin-care routine. Go for monthly treatments to restore the facial tissue and take care of ageing skin.

 

The use of LED treatments is important if you want to have the type of skin that leaves people dazed and in awe. 

 

Conclusively, photofacial treatments are the trend today for people looking to make their skin flawless and ageless. 

 

To know the effects of these treatments one has to know the types of these treatments and what functions they aid in making the skin ageless and flawless. There are LED and ILP treatments. 

 

The ILP is more intensive and uses heat that goes deep into the skin. On the other hand, the LED treatment uses a narrow spectrum of light to treat your skin. Both types are effective but the LED is better and less intense than the ILP treatment.
