How can i treat sun damage

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

With our IPL or Photofacial laser. We recommend 5 sessions 1 month apart, we advise the patient to use sunblock after this and longer term maintenance of treatments every 4 to 6 months.

After the procedure, freckles may become darker, then gently disintegrate a few days after the procedure. The intense pulsed light causes microdamage to the affected area, the body then absorbs the damaged cells slowly. This will reveal the layer of skin underneath that appears fresher, younger and less discolored.

Depending on the darkness or pigment of your skin, you may see results in as little as one session or it may take up to 3-4 sessions to see a noticable difference. there is very little down time,  most persons return to work or their normal activities the same day.
