What is the PhotoLightFACIAL?
The PhotoLight is a "non-ablative" treatment for the skin that minimizes the
signs of aging and sun-damage by removal of brown spots, pigment, red veins
and the "blush" of rosacea.

What is "non-ablative"?
A "non-ablative" treatment leaves your skin intact and undamaged. The pulse
emits light that passes easily through the upper layers of your skin to the
unwanted red and brown pigment underneath. The light is absorbed by these
pigments and transformed into heat that damages the irregularities. As an
additional benefit, your skin's collagen framework is enhanced.

How many treatments can I expect?
It may take several treatments to get the desired results. We say to expect up to 4
- 6, however, in most cases, it can take less and in rare cases, not help at all. You
can be treated every 4 - 6 weeks.

What does it feel like?
It may feel like a rubber band snap but is usually very minimal. Unlike most
pulsed light systems, no numbing creams or gels are required.

What can I expect after treatment?
It may feel like a slight sunburn sensation for a few days following the treatment.
In some cases, it may look like a superficial burn and, in rare cases, a blister may
appear. It is very important to follow all post treatment instructions and stay out
of the sun for at least a 4 week period pre and post treatmetn to avoid irritation to
the treated area. If you cannot avoid sun exposure then a sunscreen of no less
than SPF 30 should be used.
