Photofacial (Photo Rejuvenation): What To Expect From Your Procedure

A Photofacial (sometimes called Photo Rejuvenation or a Foto Facial) is a procedure which can be performed in just 20-40 minutes by a skilled, licensed nurse or esthetician. When a photofacial performed by NuU Medspa's highly trained staff using the latest technologies, these treatments can be done in very little time and with results which far surpass those others can provide. Not only is it quick and effective, a NuU Medspa PhotoFacial is a truly pain free procedure!

Your skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after the photofacial procedure, but this will generally disappear in about half an hour. Over the next two days, the pigment in the areas treated will start to darken, forming what esthetic laser technicians call "coffee grounds"; this is normal and is actually a good thing! These areas will flake off in a few days and the treated skin will become lighter and your skin tone more even.

In order to get even better results from your Photo Rejuvenation treatment, speak with a NuU Medspa Treatment Consultant about the benefits of having a PhotoFacial performed in conjunction with a chemical peel or microdermabrasion procedure.
