Many people wonder about photofacials in Chicago and what they are like. Typically, a photo facial is any IPL therapy where intense pulsed light is used to treat skin that has excessive redness or sun damage. Because there are many forms, it may not be called a photofacial or fotofacial, but may be called Sciton BBL or laser treatments. Just make sure that it uses IPLs. The BroadBand Light is one type of photofacial treatment available that can promote collagen and can change the skin cell structure. They can be used to reduce many skin problems that are associated with sun damage, reduce acne scars and remove hair permanently.
How It Works
Whether you want to call it photorejuvenation or a photo facial, you want to know how it works. The BBL offers advanced technology that provides IPL to the upper skin layers, which helps regenerate collagen. Studies have shown that BBL treatments can change the gene structure associated with aging. It can also alter your cells at a molecular level, providing a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
Many conditions can be treated with one session, and it uses thermoelectric cooling systems to adjust the lamp temperature to ensure that precise levels of light are used.
What Can Be Treated?
In most cases, people want the treatment for their hands, chest, neck or face, but it can be used on any part of the body. Typically, BBL is used for hair removal and reduction, reducing age spots, acne scars and as a Rosacea treatment. It can also be used to treat flushing or blushing, freckle removal, reducing your pore size and to treat sunspots and lesions.
Who Can Be Treated?
Typically, anyone can be a suitable candidate for the treatment, as long as they have a skin condition that can be effectively treated with the procedure. It can work well for those who are busy and don?t have time for long, drawn-out treatments with long recovery times. However, those who are taking certain medications or those that have a tan or dark skin tone may not be appropriate for this procedure.
Pain?
Most people worry about the pain associated with laser treatments and while there can be some discomfort, the more advanced techniques have the least painful procedures. Many patients claim that the treatment is like having a rubber band snapped on the skin, so it isn?t necessarily painful, but everyone has varying degrees of pain. However, if you have a low tolerance for pain, a numbing cream can be used first.
