Here are some quick pointers to help you take care of the treatment area between sessions and achieve your best results:
Use SPF of at least 45 on the treatment area to protect the skin from sun exposure and potential sun damage.
Any redness or discomfort following the treatment will subside shortly, there is very little downtime with this procedure.
It may take several hours to a day before you begin to notice the results of the treatment. It may take a few days to see results, this varies from treatment-to-treatment.
If proper steps are taken to care for the skin between and after your PhotoFacial/Skin Rejuvenation treatments, results can last up to a year or even longer. Wear plenty of sunscreen and consistently follow your at-home skincare routine.
Small capillaries may appear larger may appear larger immediately following the treatment but this will fade quickly.
It is rare, but mild bruising or swelling may occur, but this too will dissipate shortly.
