What is it?

Photo facial is a way to improve the colour and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure called photoaging. 

Treatment

Photofacial uses light energy to target a certain colour in your skin.

When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of the thing you’re being treated for.

Post-treatment recovery

While you heal:

• Don’t put on makeup if your skin hurts.
• Use moisturizing lotion.
• Protect yourself with sunscreen. Make sure it has an SPF of at least 30 and a physical blocker like zinc. Reapply it every 2 hours, even if it’s not sunny outside.
• Wash your face with a cleanser for sensitive skin.
