As
many as seventy-million Americans have undesirable redness
and/or sun damaged skin on their face or entire body. Repeated blushing or flushing
of the skin is seen most commonly in fair skinned
individuals.

Will
I need additional treatments?
After
a series of 5 treatments, it is possible that a follow up
treatment is required once or twice a year to maintain
results. Dr. Garcia and his staff will
educate you on caring for your skin to help diminish the
likelihood of future treatments.
Can
this treatment be performed with a laser?
No.
Currently there is no laser that can duplicate the effects
of intense light therapy. "Intense Pulsed Light,"
is the exclusive mode of treatment.
Will
PhotoFacial™ treatments help my acne scars?
Yes,
shallow scars will improve, but ice pick and deep type acne
scarring will remain. If mild scaring does not respond to
the PhotoFacial™ treatments then Microdermabrasion will be
added to your treatment schedule. This technique is called
Photo-Derma Resurfacing.

What
if the redness and sun damage extends to my neck, chest and
body?
These areas can
also be treated successfully. Many men and women are
delighted to be rid of the "V-neck" effect caused
by sun-damaged skin from years of sun exposure.

What
is the role of PhotoFacial™ in the treatment of Rosacea?
Rosacea
is a common condition of the face characterized by redness,
caused by dilated blood vessels and frequently developing
pustules and swelling. Flushing is the most devastating
characteristic. In 1975, the British Journal of Medicine
called Rosacea the "most embarrassing disease."
Some individuals have developed a condition called "Erythrophobia"
a morbid fear of having a red face.
It has long been noted in medical literature that flushing
seems to worsen this condition. No treatment existed, until
now, to help stop or even diminish flushing. Drs. Garcia and
Newton have been trained in this procedure to control
embarrassing flushing by using intense light therapy. By
controlling the flushing, the breakouts from Rosacea are
diminished. The great nemesis to control Rosacea is the
application of cortisone creams, which often worsens the
condition. PhotoFacial™ treatment has reduced the need for
topical cortisone creams and antibiotics. |
