Photofacials are especially good for fine lines, particularly around the eyes and mouth, shallow acne scars, age spots, broken blood vessels, Rosacea and sun damage. This procedure is thought to reduce the appearance of large pores and dark circles around the eyes, and is especially effective in reducing chronic facial redness. It also can be used to treat sun damage and weathered areas on the neck, arms and chest, as well as the back of hands. Although not a substitute for a true face-lift, your skin will appear tighter, firmer and smoother as you receive ongoing treatments. Maintenance is suggested to maintain these results.

The biggest advantage of Photofacial treatments is that there is no downtime (the skin may, however, be a bit pink for a few hours after the treatment). The procedure improves the general texture and refinement of the skin, but is not effective on deeper wrinkles or frown lines, especially on the forehead, between the brows, "ice-pick" acne scars or other deep scars.
