What are the FotoFacial® RF Treatments?
FotoFacial® RF is a revolutionary new treatment using Intense Pulsed Light and RadioFrequency energy, combined in the same pulse. These gentle, no-downtime treatments are used to improve the cosmetic appearance of the face and neck. The FotoFacial® RF procedure has become increasingly popular and has been featured in Allure, Cosmopolitan, In Style, Vogue, USA Today as well as on numerous national and regional television shows. Many patients credit this procedure with renewed health and vitality of their skin. FotoFacial® RF is the next generation in high-tech skin enhancement.
Are you a candidate for the FotoFacial® RF Treatments?
FotoFacial® RF treatments are beneficial in the treatment of the following cosmetic skin concerns for the face and neck:
- Rosacea, flushing, redness, ruddy complexion, broken capillaries and spider veins of the face. All these "pink" vascular based conditions of the skin improve on average between 50-75% percent with FotoFacial® RF treatments.
- Sun spots, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and freckles. All these "brown", melanin based conditions of the skin improve, on average, 50-75% with FotoFacial® RF treatments.
- Chronic sun damage and photoaging improves 50-75%.
- Wrinkles and skin laxity. Unlike other more basic forms of Photorejuvenation, the FotoFacial® RF, with its synergy of simultaneous Intense Pulsed Light and powerful RadioFrequency energy produces industry leading non-ablative wrinkle reduction and skin tightening. Improvements of up to 70% are seen.
What results might I expect from the FotoFacial® RF treatments?
All patients notice a consistent improvement in the appearance of their skin. The degree of improvement is gradual and persistent over the 15 – 18 week program and 5 – 6 FotoFacial® RF treatments. The noticeable and significant changes that have been reported include: improvement in pink and brown discoloration, spider veins, pink and brown blemishes, sun damage, age spots, pore size, acne scarring and wrinkles. The degree of improvement can vary but averages between 50 and 75%.
How does the FotoFacial® RF differ from other Photorejuvenation procedures?
In marrying Intense Pulsed Light and RadioFrequency energy into one modality, FotoFacial® RF offers the very latest and most effective high-tech non-invasive skin enhancement. Many other laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) devices 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 energy and Intense Pulsed Light into one FotoFacial® RF treatment, you will achieve the optimal degree of enhancement to all components of your skin.
How are the FotoFacial® RF treatments performed?
FotoFacial® RF is a simple, office based treatment. The area to be treated is first covered with a very thin layer of non-gel, aqueous radio fequency conductive medium. This thin layer is very important to conduct the radio frequency current into the skin efficiently. The hand piece of the FotoFacial® RF device is dynamically cooled to help protect the skin. 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 very gentle, most patients require five or six FotoFacial® RF treatments at three week intervals to see the desired results.
How does the FotoFacial® RF work to improve the appearance of the skin?
Each pulse of the FotoFacial® RF device sends two types of energy into your skin, Intense Pulsed Visible Light and RadioFrequency energy, that act synergistically to enhance the skin. Energy is given up to brown spots, blood vessels, and redness to gradually and gently lessen or eliminate these blemishes. The RadioFrequency energy also produces significant amounts of collagen, elastin and ground substances in the dermis, the thick undercarpet of the skin, resulting in a noticeable and significant smoothening of fine to moderate wrinkles and textural irregularities of the skin.
Will the FotoFacial® RF treatment hurt and will I have to miss work?
FotoFacial® RF treatments have a tolerable level of discomfort. The discomfort can be greatly reduced, or even eliminated by the use of a topical anesthetic cream applied to the skin 30 minutes prior to the treatment. A forced air skin cooling system, the SynerCool® can provide an additional degree of comfort. After each treatment, patients can apply makeup and return to normal activities. 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.
How long will the skin enhancement effects of the FotoFacial® RF last?
At the completion of the FotoFacial® RF program the skin will have achieved a noticeable and consistent degree of improvement that over 90% of patients are very happy with. Occasionally, some patients desire an even greater degree of improvement and these patients will sign up for additional procedures Most FotoFacial® RF patients will just desire to maintain the skin enhancements they have achieved from the program. For these patients, a single maintenance FotoFacial® RF treatment is recommended every 2 – 4 months to keep the skin looking vital, even, smooth, and youthful.
