What You Get From A Fotofacial Las Vegas

By Sandra Jones


It is a fact of life that as people get older, their skin, especially on the face, starts to show their age. There may be sagging or discoloration due to a variety of environmental factors. There are many ways to combat it, including skincare products such as creams, moisturizers and serums. These do not last as long as a Fotofacial Las Vegas does, though.

As we get older, the signs of aging increase, but there are other factors that could accelerate those signs, as well. If you spend a lot of time in the sun, it can be very damaging to the skin. This is especially true if you do not use sunscreen or use it only sometimes. Redness can appear, and you can also get uneven texture, which makes your skin feel rough in patches. Burst blood vessels often show up beneath the skin as well to make you look older.

Fotofacials use a special light called intense pulsed light, also referred to as IPL. This light is an improved version of the IPL that has been used for quite awhile in anti ageing treatments, so you get better results.

Many people love fotofacials because you will need far less time in the office compared to treatments of old. The total amount of time depends on how many sessions your dermatologists determines you need. It will also depends on must how many issues you want treated. Each sessions can last as little as five minutes, or as long as an hour. You may need more than one sessions to get your desired results.

After your first session, you will see some results. Any rough patches will feel smoother, and look that way too. Your face will be less red, so if you have rosacea or a similar condition, you will see marked improvement. Overall, your face will look younger and much brighter.

Another reason to go have a fotofacial is to help prevent cancer. Some people have a condition called actinic keratoses, also known as AK. This gives you rough, scaly patches that can eventually turn into cancer if let untreated. A fotofacial helps prevent this from happening, which could save your life.

There are cooling treatments that the dermatologist will give you both before and after you start a session. One reason is that with the numbing, you can avoid using a needle because you will not need a local anesthetic. Also, this helps speed up recovery time to next to nothing.

Most of the time, you can get up right after a treatment, put your makeup on, and go back to work or whatever you have planned for your day without any issues. Just be sure you wear sunscreen to help protect your face from the sun's rays.

Actually, you should be wearing sunscren on a regular basis already. If you do, then just continue your skincare routine as it is. If you are not already wearing sunscreen, you should definitely start, as the IPLs do make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Doing this and following any other doctor's orders ensures you will continue to have that youthful glow that you walked out of the office with.
