What is a photofacial?

A photofacial is a simple procedure where a laser or light-based device is used for color correction. It works great for dark spots, freckles, and generalized redness. It uses the same principle as laser hair removal, so you may experience hair loss in the area (good or bad). It works especially well when used in combination with bleaching creams such as hydroquinone.

Also, a photofacial is not necessarily limited to the face. It can be used on other areas with age spots or dark spots such as the backs of the hands and arms or upper chest, just about anywhere with undesired pigmentation.



Be sure to consult with a doctor if you have suspicious moles in the area so a potential cancer will not be affected.
