Sagging skin is one of the effects of aging due to the natural loss of collagen. Over-the-counter creams make promises of tightening skin, but they do not deliver. Another solution is plastic surgery, but why put yourself through the expense, time, and pain of that when there is a better, non-surgical option? A Photofacial could be the solution you need to rejuvenate your skin without surgery.

How Photofacials Rejuvenate Skin

Photofacials use intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to shoot powerful pulses of light into the deepest layers of your skin. Unlike laser resurfacing, these pulses of light do not damage the surface layers of the skin. This treatment is ideal for patients who have sensitive skin.

The IPL is used in a series of gentle pulses over the area to be treated. As the light penetrates the skin, it is absorbed and stimulates collagen production. Collagen is an essential protein that keeps your skin firm, plump, and flexible.

Additional Benefits of Photofacials

While a Photofacial rejuvenates your skin by making it tighter, it also provides many additional benefits that further enhance your appearance, including:

  • Reducing the appearance of large pores
  • Correcting uneven skin tone
  • Reversing the appearance of sun damage
  • Removing age spots
  • Correcting the appearance of rosacea
  • Reducing the appearance of visible capillaries
  • Correcting fine lines and wrinkles

No Downtime or Recovery Time Needed

With a Photofacial, there is no downtime or recovery time needed. The process is virtually painless and can be done on your lunch break because it takes no time at all. You might notice some minor redness after your treatment, but that will fade within a few hours or a day or two.

The real magic with a Photofacial is that you will begin seeing your results within 24 to 48 hours. You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment. However, we recommend that you wear sunscreen when you go outside to avoid irritating your skin or causing new sun damage.

With a Photofacial, you no longer must accept sagging skin as a part of aging. Contact North Scottsdale Laser & Skin Care Center at (480) 448-0918 for your free consultation with one of our skin care experts.
