Remove Freckles or Brown Spots
Advanced Aesthetic Laser Center uses a laser that focuses on the pigment carrying cells in the benign lesion, age spot, brown spot or melasma (birthmark or any other hormonal uneven skin pigment). The laser then disables the cells ability to produce the pigment while leaving adjacent cells and blood vessels unharmed.
Within 10 minutes after treatment you can expect the treated areas to mildly swell, turn red in color and hyper pigment. Within a week or so the treated areas will flake off becoming lighter with each treatment.
At Advanced Aesthetic Laser Center we utilize our IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) also known as a Photofacial to help remove the signs of age which reveals itself in the form of freckles, sun damage, melasma, prematurely aged skin, uneven skin tones and rosacea. The result is even skin tone, minimized fine lines and pores for a more aesthetic look, feel and texture of your rejuvenated glowing fresh skin.
The IPL hand piece delivers the non-invasive treatment to the irregularities without causing damage to the surrounding skin. Our combination of topical air cooling and the sapphire cooling plate for direct cooling contact with the skin provides superior patient comfort without the need for anesthetics. After the treatment you can expect to look quite flushed but this will mostly subside within an hour or two. Sometime either immediately following your IPL treatment or up to 72 hours after treatment we expect that the targeted pigment or irregularity will become a mild scab and flake off within a week to two weeks, becoming lighter with each sequential treatment. With an SPF of 30 or greater, a person can return to normal activities immediately.
Typically, 5 sessions are recommended at 3 to 4 week intervals for best results. Each treatment will take between 20 to 40 minutes and can be used in combination with our Microdermabrasion to achieve even smoother skin texture. Please note that the ideal client has fair to olive skin and has not been currently sunbathing.
Benefits of the photo facial is the reduction of fine lines and an improvement in overall skin tone and texture. The treatment stimulates collagen production which tightens the skin and minimizes fine lines. This treatment is incredibly tolerable and performed without the use of topical anesthetics or gel. There is relatively no down time and you can return to normal activities immediately, although sunscreen must be used as a precaution post treatment. Additionally, this treatment corrects sun damaged skin improving overall skin texture giving a more revitalized youthful appearance.
Undo your existing sun damage while improving the overall skin texture with a photofacial. Over exposure to the sun causes significant damage to the skin which creates a variety of issues such as age spots, freckles, uneven pigmentation, wrinkles and a decrease in collagen.
Sun damage causes the melanocytes (pigment carrying cells) in the skin to be stimulated thereby producing more pigments to protect the skin. Over time, the melanocytes become abnormally concentrated in an area producing these uneven skin tones. The results are freckles, age spots, uneven skin tones, dilated capillaries and wrinkles. The photo facial is superior at reducing hyper pigmentations by pushing the offending pigment out of the cells which appears as a mild scabbing then sloughs off within a few weeks. The result is even skin tone, reduced capillaries and fresh rejuvenated skin.Photo facials can be instrumental in the easy and effective treatment of rosacea. The photo facial works by heating the hemoglobin within the veins, causing the veins to collapse and fade which results in the decrease of redness to the skin.
At times results can be achieved after one treatment but depending on your needs and desired outcome, several treatments may be necessary.
