Power PhotoFacial
Power PhotoFacials are for patients who want the benefits of a PhotoFacial in one to two treatments. Your skin will be smoother and look much more uniform in tone. In addition, a power PhotoFacial is particularly effective in removing pre-cancerous growths.
The procedure involves an initial microdermabrasion followed immediately by an application of a topical solution called Levulan® to the skin 45 minutes to an hour before the treatment. Levulan® makes the skin more sensitive to the laser’s light, reducing the need for more treatments. The procedure begins after the Levulan® solution is carefully washed off.
Unlike a routine PhotoFacial, there is swelling and your skin will peel. When healed, your skin will be smoother and look much more uniform in tone. In addition, a power PhotoFacial is particularly effective in removing pre-cancerous growths (actinic keratoses).
The innovative addition of Levulan® to the IPL treatment, safely and more aggressively treats sun spots, age spots, and freckles. This approach requires fewer treatments than with Intense Pulse Light alone. Some redness and crusting of the treated areas will be noted.
