Foto Facial

Foto Facial is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment option that can rejuvenate your skin using pulsed light and a gentle electrical radio frequency current.

Foto Facial takes just 30 minutes; this pulsed light treatment penetrates to all levels of your skin, causing the collagen and blood vessels beneath the epidermis to constrict. The treatment recommendation is for a series of six full-face light treatments at three-week intervals.

During the procedure you may experience some minor discomfort that people have described as being similar to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin. Your cosmetic surgeon will apply a topical cream before the treatment to eliminate most discomfort.

Following the Foto Facial Procedure

Most people will experience redness following the treatment can lasts between 24 hours and in rare cases up to three days. Over a span of a couple of weeks following the Foto Facial procedure, you will begin to notice a gradual reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.

Foto facials work best for fine lines, especially around the eyes and mouth, shallow acne scars, age spots, broken blood vessels, rosacea and sun damage. Foto facials can also reduce the appearance of large pores and dark circles around the eyes, as well as reduce chronic facial redness. This treatment option may also be used to treat sun damage and weathered areas on the neck, arms and chest, as well as the back of the hands. And while it is not to be considered a substitute for a facelift, it can enhance the appearance of your face by tightening the skin, giving you a firmer and smoother look as you receive ongoing treatments. Maintenance is suggested to maintain your desired results.
