Facial
Vascular Therapy
FotoFacial Therapy is an innovative, technologically advanced way to
promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in both men and women. Now
you too can have a youthful appearance by treating those conditions
that are typically associated with premature signs of aging such as
unsightly facial veins, redness and sun damaged skin.
What Do Facial Vascular Procedures Do?
It is a non-ablative
procedure that can reduce visible facial vessels as well as diffuse
redness by gently warming the upper dermis, improving the appearance
of your skin. The result is a healthy looking and vibrant
appearance.
Our Difference
The procedure utilizes
laser technology that can safely, discretely and effectively treat
small targets like fine undesirable facial vessels or vessels that
cause diffuse redness. Unlike many other treatment methods, it is a
comfortable, non-ablative form of skin therapy. This means you will
be able to see subtle yet consistent results after each treatment,
without the unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive skin
irritation. Your therapy can be performed in a relaxed, comfortable
manner without the use of general or local anesthesia, gel or cream.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Unlike many other
procedures available today, your physician can safely treat your
entire neck and facial area if desired.
What Are Facial Vessels Or Telangiectasia?
Telangiectasia or facial
vessels are dilated capillaries that commonly appear on the surface
of the face and in areas around the nose, cheeks and above the
neckline. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that are present
throughout the body. Prolonged sun exposure, aging, trauma and other
factors can cause capillaries to become dilated and visible. There
is also a hereditary factor in developing facial telangiectasia. We
will help your appearance by treating any visible trace of these
unsightly veins.
 What Is Diffuse Redness (Rosacea)?
Diffuse redness is a
general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. As with
facial telangiectasia, this condition is a result of dilated
capillaries, however the appearance is more of general redness
rather than discrete well-defined vessels. The most commonly
affected areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuse redness is
often associated with a condition called rosacea and it can be
hereditary. We will help your appearance by gently treating and
reducing this condition.
What Can I Expect Before The Treatment?
There are no complicated
pretreatment rituals with this procedure. Prior to the actual
treatment you will be asked to remove your make-up or moisturizers
and in some cases, you may be asked to shave the area to be treated
so as not to interfere with the laser treatment. Your physician will
review and assist with all pretreatment requirements.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
The treatment results are
often very subtle. On average you may require 4 to 6 treatments in
order to achieve the results you are looking for. Every patient's
conditions and needs vary. For more information about your expected
results or the number of treatments necessary, consult your
physician.
 Is The Treatment Painful?
No, the procedure is a
comfortable, non-ablative, non-invasive treatment. Unlike other
laser treatments it does not wound the skin's surface therefore
virtually eliminating the need for complicated post treatment care.
Typically patients describe the treatment as a gentle warming of the
surface. The treatment does not require any anesthetics, creams or
gel.
What Results To Expect After The Treatment?
Immediately after the
treatment you will experience some minor redness. The redness
typically lasts only a few hours. Patients often describe the
treatment as relaxing and therapeutic with visible results that are
subtle yet noticeable. You can expect to immediately return to
normal activities utilizing sunscreen if participating in outdoor
activities.
What Are The Possible Side Effects?
Although most patients
report few if any side effects, the most commonly noticed might be a
slight redness that disappears within a few hours after the
treatment. Consult with your medical professional for complete
information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
