FotoFacial FAQs

What are the benefits of FotoFacial Treatments?

The benefits of FotoFacial Treatments are consistent, visible improvement in the skin.

With FotoFacial Treatments the embarrassing redness and flushing of Rosacea can be greatly reduced and sun damaged, aging skin can be dramatically improved.

What are the indications for FotoFacial Treatments?

FotoFacial treatments are beneficial in the treatment of the following:

• Effectively reducing redness and flushing
  
• Sun damage, reducing fine wrinkling, freckling and irregular pigmentation
  
• Smoothing your skin and reducing pore size
  
• Reducing irregular pigment and creating even skin tone
• Rosacea - Reducing the overall redness, flushing and dilated capillaries; possibly improving the breakouts of this common chronic facial condition

What areas can be treated?

FotoFacial treatments can be used on any part of the skin. They are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest and hands.

What results can I expect?

You can expect to see a gradual decrease in overall redness, flushing and dilated capillaries. People with visible aging from the sun can expect to see their skin become smoother with a decrease in fine wrinkles, reduction in pore size and fading of sunspots. Many people with Rosacea see an improvement in breakouts and, in many cases, are able to decrease or discontinue their medications.

What is a FotoFacial treatment like?

Each treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes. A topical anethetic is applied in our office for 1 hour prior to treatments to minimize discomfort. The skin may appear red and flushed and tiny capillaries may appear more visibly immediately following a treatment. Brown spots may appear darker. All of these changes gradually fade over a period of hours to a few days.

How soon will I see results?

Your skin will feel smoother and will have a more even tone after your first treatment. These improvements are gradual and will be more visible after each treatment; five treatments are performed for optimal results. Some patients will benefit from additional treatments.
