The natural aging process often leads to wrinkles, sun spots and sagging skin, but there are several medical-grade laser and light systems that can turn back the clock and get rid of these unwanted side effects.
FotoFacial RF treatments are one of them; the treatment has been developed by Syneron, the same company that makes Velashape and other and other cosmetic enhancement procedures that use the company’s patented elos technology.
FotoFacial RF treatments deliver optical energy and radiofrequency waves deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production. After a few days and weeks, the skin becomes firmer, more toned, and many wrinkles and lines just disappear. Here are more of the anti-aging benefits of FotoFacial RF treatments:
Progressive results: You’ll see results improve over the course of days and weeks after the treatment; your skin will become lighter, more even toned, and the pores will start to shrink.
Scar removal: If you have acne scars or marks from other types of skin damage, the skin will begin to heal right over the damaged areas so the scars will disappear.
Removal of broken capillaries: If you have small veins and capillaries on the cheeks, chin or nose, the FotoFacial RF treatment can disintegrate the veins without scarring or trauma.
Even skin tone: Individuals suffering from melasma, rosacea or a condition known as the ‘pregnancy mask’ can achieve clear and evenly toned skin within a few weeks.
Removal of freckles and sun spots: Freckles and blemishes that occur after too much sun exposure are usually permanent scars, but FotoFacial RF treatments can be used to destroy these damaged cells make them disappear entirely.
Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles: Any small lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and nose can be diminished after just one FotoFacial RF session. This is because more collagen is produced under the skin, which results in a smoother, tighter and more toned appearance and ‘plumps up’ fine lines and wrinkles within days.
Most people need to undergo at least 4 to 5 FotoFacial RF treatments that are administered every four weeks to get the most benefits from the procedure. The results are progressive, and some people may see results iwhtin days of their first treatment, while others will need to wait a few weeks. Some areas may turn darker for a short period of time after the treatment, but as long as the patient follows the prescribed skin care regimen, the skin will recover and heal rapidly after the session.
FotoFacial RF treatments are among the most popular anti-aging procedures in the United States, and the procedure has been featured in the USA Today, Allure, Cosmopolitan and Vogue. It’s one of the latest high-tech skin enhancement treatments on the market, and can be much more effective than intense-pulsed light (IPL) or laser diode procedures because it uses a combination of radiofrequency, infrared and intense pulsed light to affect the skin. There is no downtime involved, and microdermabrasion can be performed between treatments for enhanced results.
