What is it?
Photo facial is a way to improve the colour and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure called photoaging.
Treatment-
Photofacial uses light energy to target a certain colour in your skin.
When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of the thing you’re being treated for.
Post-treatment recovery-
While you heal:
- Don’t put on makeup if your skin hurts.
- Use moisturizing lotion.
- Protect yourself with sunscreen. Make sure it has an SPF of at least 30 and a physical blocker like zinc. Reapply it every 2 hours, even if it’s not sunny outside.
- Wash your face with a cleanser for sensitive skin.
