How does the FotoFacial RF™ differ from other Photorejuvenation procedures?

In marrying Intense Pulsed Light and RadioFrequency energy into one treatment, FotoFacial RF™ treatments offer the very latest and most effective high-tech, non-invasive form of non-invasive skin enhancement. Many other lasers and devices, such as N-lite®, Cooltouch®, SmoothBeam¨, V-Beam®, IPL photorejuvenation or Intense Pulsed Light systems with the Quantum® or Vasculight®, claim to deliver state-of-the-art photorejuvenation. With these basic Photorejuvenation procedures you may notice a degree of improvement in the appearance of some aspects of your skin, particularly an improvement in vascular and melanin based discolorations. However, by combining RadioFrequency and Intense Pulsed Light into one FotoFacial RF™ treatment, you will achieve the optimal degree of enhancement to all components of your skin. By adding the RadioFrequency to the Intense Pulsed light,\ the FotoFacial RF™ procedure can now boast excellent, no downtime wrinkle improvements together with the significant improvement in redness, rosacea, pinkness, spider veins, pores and texture.

Each treatment takes about 30 minutes and involves pulses of bright visible light and RadioFrequency energy that are passed into the skin. Because each FotoFacial RF™ treatment is gentle, most patients require 5 or 6 FotoFacial™ treatments to see the desired results and they are performed every 3 weeks. In certain skin types, a microdermabrasion is performed between FotoFacial™ treatments to enhance the penetration of the light and RadioFrequency energy.

After each treatment, patients can apply makeup and return to normal activities. The FotoFacial RF™ treatments have proven to be low risk, are associated with few complications and patients rarely have downtime or have to miss work or regular activities. At the completion of the FotoFacial R™ program the skin will have achieved a noticeable and consistent degree of improvement that over 90% of patients are very happy with.
