IPL Photofacial The treatment involves a series of treatments usually 3-4 weeks apart. Individual response will vary per skin type, hair color, degree of tanning, follow-up care, and the area being treated. Some brown spots may appear darker before they flake off in about a week. Generally, clients will experience optimal results after 3-6 treatments scheduled every 3-4 weeks. Results based on skin conditions and skin types will vary, as do the recommended number of treatments. Potential Risks - Erythema (redness), edema (swelling), Irritation, itching, and/or a mild burning sensation similar to sunburn may occur within 48 hours of treatment.
- Pigmentary changes such as hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation of the skin in the treated areas
- Scarring, blisters, reddening; pinpoint pitted scars, bruising, superficial crusting, burns, pain, and infections.
- There is a known and expected loss of hair in the treated areas. In a very small percentage of people, there is new hair growth in the surrounding areas being treated.
- Eye damage can occur from the light and therefore protective eyewear must be worn during all phototherapy sessions.
Carbon Laser Peel NOTE: You should be aware that any excess hair growth on the face will need to be shaved, although the normal fine downy hair on many women’s faces will not pose a problem. - Male clients will need to have a close shave before the treatment or treatment will only be performed in clean-shaven areas
Potential Risks - There is a very small chance that there could be an eye injury due to the use of lasers and therefore protective eyewear must be worn.
- There is a risk that the laser will have an adverse reaction on the skin in the treated area if my Skin Type is too dark or if I have red spots or pigmented blemishes on my skin at the time of treatment.
The number of treatments required varies per individual. Carbon laser treatments usually require 6-8 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Cleanse the area with tepid warm water. Avoid extremities of heat such as hot showers, hot tubs, and saunas for 72 hours after treatment.
Radio Frequency (RF)
RF treatments cannot prevent future skin aging. Multiple treatments are required and there is no guarantee that the wrinkles or sagging skin will be completely addressed. Results are individual. While it is expected to have a 40% to 50% improvement in the treated area after a completed series of weekly treatments, it is impossible to guarantee results. Some clients exceed our expectations and some clients respond below expectations. Weekly treatments present the best outcome in most individuals. Potential Risks
Side effects are rare but can include swelling, bumps, minor burns, and blisters on or around the treatment area.
