What is the Photofacial difference?

Comfort. The Cutera photofacial pulsed light system is exceptionally effective for treating skin redness (rosacea), brown spots and sun damage at a very comfortable energy level. There is no need to apply topical anesthetic or gel beforehand, and you can realize remarkable results in just one or two treatments.

What does the Photofacial treatment do?

The visible light delivered by the Photofacial procedure is selectively absorbed by the pigmented spots and red areas on your skin. It's the heating of the pigmented cells that causes the therapeutic effect.

What do Photofacial treatments feel like?

When the Photofacial hand piece is placed on your skin, it will feel cool and comfortable. When the pulse of light is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation.

How many Photofacial treatments will I need?

Typically, two to four Photofacial treatments are sufficient to see dramatic results. Additional treatments may be required for very large or dark spots, densely freckled areas, or excessively sun-damaged skin.

When will I see results from my Photofacial treatment?

Many patients see significant improvement within two to three weeks of the photofacial treatment. Your complexion will be clearer and younger looking. However, your final result may not be apparent for a month or more.
