Treatment Information
What is the treatment experience like?
You will want to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your treatment to apply numbing cream. You will need to apply the numbing to a clean face, we have our Revitalizing Cleanser ready for you at the clinic. Once the numbing cream has been removed our provider will take treatment photos, cover your eyes with solid goggles for protection, and apply a thin layer of ultrasound gel. The treatment itself consists of multiple pulses of the laser on the treatment area until the full treatment area is covered. Once the treatment is complete, the gel will be removed, face cleansed, and an appropriate, personalized skincare selection will be applied with SPF to finish your treatment.
Does it hurt?
We recommend topical numbing cream. We find with use of the topical numbing cream most patients find the discomfort experienced during treatment very tolerable. For optimal analgesic effect, numbing cream should be applied at least 45 minutes to 1 hour in advance of treatment. We provide a Benzocaine 20%, Lidocaine 10%, and Tetracaine 10% for $12 per application. You may arrive early to your treatment or purchase in advance and start your numbing at home prior to your treatment.
When will I see results?
Results are gradual and are typically seen 2-3 weeks after each treatment. Results become more noticeable with each treatment.
How long do results last?
This varies greatly on the individual and how well they care for and protect their skin. With sun avoidance and proper skincare it is common for patients to only need 1-2 maintenance treatments every year. If you love your summer’s in the sun, it is best to plan for three photofacials each fall to minimize and repair any damage. Recommended products for this treatment are Retinol 10x, Smooth It, and our SPF.
