Getting Your First Fotofacial Las Vegas

By Sandra Jones


As people get older, it is only natural that they want to fight any signs of aging. You can buy creams, serums and other treatments, but they do not always work, and those that do generally only work for a limited time. If you want a longer lasting solution to your aging issues, then a Fotofacial Las Vegas might be what you are looking for.

There are a variety of reasons why skin starts to look old, and age is but one of them. Pollutants in the environment is another reason, as is excessive sun exposure, particularly if you did not always use sunscreen. You may start to get age spots, fine lines and possibly even wrinkles. Some people also experience blood vessels that pop or appear to be very visible beneath the skin. The texture of your skin may be rough or uneven as well.

Intense pulsed lights, or IPLs, are lights that have been in use for skincare procedures for quite some time. However, fotofacials use a much improved version that gives you better results, making this a great treatment to get.

The fact that you will need fewer sessions to see the same or better results than the older technology means less time in a dermatologist's office for you, and more time doing your own thing. The total amount of time you will need to see results will vary widely. It mostly depends on how many issues you want to work on, and how much of your face needs treatment. It could be five minutes to an hour.

After you go through a session, you will notice that your skin looks and feels much smoother. Any sun damage starts to lessen, and with multiple treatments can be reversed. Even other conditions such as rosacea or reddening of the skin is lessened, giving you a more youthful glow.

Many people do not think of cancer when they think of getting any kind of facial, but a fotofacial could help prevent cancer. If you have a condition called actinic keratoses, then you likely have rough and even scaly patches on your body. The IPL from a fotofacial can help stop AK from turning into cancer.

The doctor will use a cooling treatment of some kind before and after your sessions. This serves a few purposes. One is that a topical anesthetic is usually not needed, which means you can avoid using needles at all. Also, this helps you with healing, so you spend less time recovering.

In fact, as soon as the session is over, you can put your makeup back on and go about your day as you normally would. The only real proviso that the dermatologist might give you is to be sure to use sunscreen for at least a couple of weeks after your sessions.

If you have seen a dermatologist before, they probably already commanded you to wear sunscreen on the regular, so if you already are, you need not change your routine. However, if you are not currently wearing it regularly, you should definitely start. The lights do leave your skin more vulnerable to UV rays, and it is a good idea to wear it anyways so that you keep your dewy, youthful glow.
