Photofacials- Improving Skin Tone



Photofacial is a generic term for a skin treatment that uses an Intense Pulse Light-based technology. This is a non-invasive treatment, and is done in a half hour appointment time. 

Photofacials (sometimes called fotofacials, or IPL) have a number of different uses, but are mostly used for treating brown spots, broken capillaries, and boosting collagen. Here at Beauty Redefined we use the IPL Photofacial, as opposed to the LED Photofacial that does not go as deep, only treats surface skin tone and is not as effective at boosting your natural collagen. 

 An IPL photofacial can treat a variety of skin conditions such as brown spots, broken capillaries, spider veins, and facial redness. An IPL photofacial delivers a bright blast of light at very high energy levels through a hand-held device. This bright blast of light goes deep into the dermis, targets the melatonin and capilaries associated with rosacea. By going deeper into the skin tissue, this treatment can bring to the surface underlying skin tone issues, which is why a series is recommended. Once the deeper pigment is brought to the surface, it will flake off post-treatment. This treatment can be somewhat painful, however we do apply a topical numbing cream prior to treatment to make the process as comfortable as possible.



An IPL photofacial is the better choice if you have brown spots, broken capillaries or overall redness, called diffused facial redness. The number of IPL photofacials you need will vary depending on the condition you're treating, the results you want, and how your skin responds.

Pixel RF




The PixelRF is highly effective on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-IV) and treatments can be administered year rough with no seasonal restrictions. Unlike dermal rollers or low power bipolar RF applicators that superficially ablate and heat the skin, the PixelRF causes evaporation, mechanical damage and thermal damage deep beneath the epidermis-dermis surfacing. This provides significant dermal impact with minimal epidermal disruption.

The Future of Fractionated Skin Resurfacing is here

The Accent Family platforms now features the Pixel®RF. Using Micro Plasma Technology and In-Motion™ refractive radiofrequency, the PixelRFallows you to both ablate and heat skin through a controlled, focused delivery of energy. Healthy skin around the treated area helps to accelerate the healing process thus improving result and reducing patient down. The result is fresh, smooth and radiant skin. Best of all, the PixelRFrequires no consumables.


Here's what industry leaders have to say about the

PixelRF:

"Another dimension in the fight against aging. PixelRF technology has given us another dimension in the fight against aging. Since fractionated resurfacing with RF technology does not harm the skin's outer layer, the healing time is faster than traditional CO2 lasers. As we noticed during our study The Micro Plasma Technology? creates multiple, controlled microperforations within small zones of thermal injury, similar to the pattern created by many fractionated skin resurfacing lasers. During the procedure, just a small portion of the tissue is ablated. The remaining tissue supplies the healing that leads to the elimination of irregular epidermal pigmentation, tightening of dermal collagen and the smoothing that results from the stimulation of the skin's deeper layers. The fact that patients are experiencing less discomfort and a shorter down-time has made this technology a hit in my practice."

"Skin resurfacing of the face is quick and well tolerated with topical numbing. Initial results have been more impressive than we had been achieving."
