LaserFACIAL FAQs
What does LaserFACIAL do?
LaserFACIAL is a non-ablative procedure that can reduce visible
facial vessels, diffuse redness, acne scars, Rosacea, sun damage,
and large pores. It has been FDA cleared to reduce wrinkles
by gently warming the upper dermis, improving the appearance
of your skin. The result is a healthy looking and vibrant appearance.
How does LaserFACIAL work?
The LaserFACIAL procedure utilizes laser technology that can
safely, discretely and effectively treat small targets. Unlike
many other treatment methods, LaserFACIAL is a comfortable,
non-ablative form of skin therapy. This means you will be able
to see subtle, yet consistent results after each treatment,
without unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive
skin irritation. Your therapy can be performed in a relaxed,
comfortable manner without the use of general or local anesthesia.
What areas can be treated?
Unlike many other procedures available today, with LaserFACIAL
skin therapy, we can safely treat all areas. The most common
is facial, neck, and chest.
What are facial vessels, telangiectasia, and diffused
redness?
Telangiectasias, or facial vessels, are dilated capillaries
that commonly appear on the surface of the face and in areas
around the nose, cheeks, and above the neckline. Capillaries
are tiny blood vessels that are present throughout the body.
Prolonged sun exposure, aging, trauma, and other factors can
cause capillaries to become dilated and visible. There is also
a hereditary factor in developing facial telangiectasia. LaserFACIAL
therapy will help your appearance by treating any visible trace
of these unsightly veins. Diffuse redness is a general appearance
of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. As with facial telangiectasia,
this condition is a result of dilated capillaries; however,
the appearance is more of a general redness rather than discrete
well-defined vessels. The most commonly affected areas are the
nose, forehead, and cheeks. Diffuse redness is often associated
with a condition called Rosacea that can be hereditary. LaserFACIAL
therapy will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing
this condition.
What can I expect before the treatment?
There are no complicated pretreatment rituals with this procedure.
Prior to the actual LaserFACIAL treatment, you will be asked
to remove your make-up or moisturizers and, in some cases, you
may be asked to shave the area to be treated so as not to interfere
with the laser treatment. Your laser technician will review
and assist with all pretreatment requirements. There are no
numbing creams used in this procedure.
How many treatments do I need?
The treatment results are often subtle. On average you may require
4 to 6 treatments in order to achieve the results you are looking
for. Every patient's conditions and needs vary. Some conditions
may require more treatments. It is important for the clinical
staff to have a clear understanding of your expectations to
make sure they are realistic with this type of procedure. For
more information about your expected results or the number of
treatments necessary, consult your physician.
Is the treatment painful?
No. LaserFACIAL is a comfortable, non-ablative, non-invasive
treatment. Unlike other laser treatments, it does not wound
the skin's surface, virtually eliminating the need for complicated
post treatment care. Patients typically describe the treatment
as a gentle warming of the surface.
