Photofacial

As we get older and sun damage accumulates, we end up with a blotchy, mottled or uneven skin tone and appearance which we all have to cover with make up. A Photofacial is the answer.

A concentrated beam of light is directed at the skin being treated. This light is absorbed by the pigment in the skin/blood vessels. In the case of pigmentation, the light converts to heat within the skin, this heat damages the melanocytes causing the body to remove them.

In the case of thread veins, the light energy is attracted to haemoglobin (the red pigment in blood cells). The resulting heat coagulates the blood in the fine vessels at the skins surface which causes the vessels to collapse and be removed by the body.
