Photofacial

All areas of the body may be treated, with the most common areas being those exposed to the sun, including: face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms.

Avoid direct, excessive sun exposure one month prior to treatment.

During treatment there will be a bright flash of light that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal and usually subside within an hour following treatment. Pigmented spots will darken first and flake off approximately a week post treatment. Veins may blanch (turn white or grey) and disappear or change colour temporarily before fading. Your skin will be clearer and more even in approximately 10 days.

An improved skin appearance can be noted after the first session. Multiple sessions provide even better results. Treatment regime depends on the severity of skin damage, skin type and type of treatments (vascular vs sun damage). Our Doctors at EverYoung will determine the correct settings to ensure maximum results, while ensuring a safe, effective treatment.
