Photofacial: Skin Lightening and Whitening Treatment

Photofacial uses an Intense pulsed laser that is a light-based energy technology that eliminates the pigmentation irregularities on the face and body and boosts collagen production for a more fresh and youthful appearance.

This innovative technology uses advanced non-ablative photo rejuvenation systems to promote vibrant and healthy-looking skin in men and women. For people, looking for and wanting to brighten their complexion and fade imperfections, IPL photofacial is an excellent option.

The treatment provides a more youthful appearance by treating the signs of aging and sun damage concerns like skin tanning, redness, and uneven skin texture. The treatment fades imperfections and improves skin texture in a safe and effective manner. The procedure is non-invasive and fixes the damage without penetrating the skin. The ideal candidates for IPL are those who want to minimize the appearance of signs of aging such as sunspots or freckles, address pigmentation issues, and want to correct conditions like rosacea.

Dr. Rasya Dixit is an expert dermatologist who provides the best Skin Whitening Treatment in Bangalore at Dr. Dixit Cosmetic Dermatology Clinic using Photofacial IPL technology. The treatment heats the upper layer of the dermis and the lower surface of the skin and also stimulates collagen renewal and smoothes, flattens, and removes red discoloration from the face and body. People with diffuse redness in their face can get rosy or blotchy cheeks. The condition is caused by dilated capillaries, and this condition is called rosacea. Photofacial helps in treating rosacea condition gently. The technology is also used to correct problems like acne, acne scar, and surgical scarring.

The treatment accelerates the natural healing process that breaks patches of pigmentation, boosts collagen production, and leaves the skin smoother and more evenly toned. The light emitted by the photofacial machine also heats up the dermis layer and stimulates collagen production, improving skin firmness, pore size, fine lines, and increases skin youthfulness.

Before providing the treatment, a cooling gel is applied to the area to be treated, and then the patient is given goggles to protect the eyes from direct light. During the treatment, a broad spectrum of light is emitted over the target area through a handpiece. The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by the blood and helps treat vascular lesions or removes the dark melanin pigmented lesion. The body's natural healing response removes the injured tissues, boosts collagen production, and offers a more youthful appearance. The dark brown color pigment is located more superficially, whereas red pigment is presented at a little deeper level. This treatment delivers energy absorbed by both red and brown color pigment and helps them destroy and improve skin tone, appearance laxity, and firmness.

The treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands. Each session can last from 20-40 minutes depending upon the area to be treated, and multiple sessions are recommended to yield excellent and long-lasting results.

The treatment releases multiple wavelengths of light that are more scattered and penetrates in the second layer of the skin, the dermis, without causing any damage to the outer skin layer epidermis. Different wavelength of light helps to target specific conditions and gives a more even and youthful appearance.
