This procedure uses wave lengths of light to correct problems such as unsightly veins, photo damage, birth marks, rosacea, melasma, and other blemishes.

Common Questions About Fotofacial

How does it work?
Light is changed into energy that penetrates through the epidermis into the dermal layers where many imperfections begin. For example, melasma, sun damage, uneven tone, and discoloration of the skin begins with melanin, a natural pigment in the skin. The red undertones that are typical with rosacea and facial veins are within the skin. The light energy utilized with FotoFacial™ breaks down vascular lesions which are absorbed back into the system. When using FotoFacial ™ therapy to treat pigmented lesions and discolorations, the pigment is drawn out of the skin itself.
