A Photofacial is a light-based treatment that improves skin tone and texture by targeting sun damage, redness, and uneven pigmentation. It works by delivering gentle pulses of light that break up discoloration and stimulate collagen, revealing brighter, smoother skin with little to no downtime.
The Lutronic Clarity II Laser is a cutting-edge dual-wavelength platform using Nd and Alexandrite lasers to treat various skin concerns. It’s safe for all skin types and effectively targets multiple issues, such as dark spots, redness, and fine lines, all while stimulating collagen production for long-term skin health. This treatment is perfect for anyone looking for comprehensive skin rejuvenation without extensive downtime.
During the Photofacial procedure, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing agent may be applied for added comfort. The laser is then directed at the target areas, delivering precise energy to address concerns like pigmentation, redness, and texture irregularities. The session typically lasts around 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
