San Diego photofacial treatments can make a world of difference to skin suffering from sun damage, age spots, brown spots, freckles, diminished skin elasticity, enlarged pores, and poor skin texture. All of these issues can give your skin an unfortunate, prematurely aged look.

Photofacial therapy, also known as skin blemish therapy or Photorejuvenation, can treat this wide range of skin conditions. This method takes advantage of focused wavelengths of intense pulsed light, or IPL. The IPL causes the skin to regenerate, heal itself, and even produce new collagen. All of these remarkable effects combine to cause a change in your appearance comparable to that of a minor face-lift.

The San Diego photofacial specialists at Avalon Laser use IPL combined with radio-frequency (RF) to send energy into the skin without disrupting the skin’s surface. This technology is non-invasive and targets and corrects irregular skin pigmentation and flawed skin texture, leaving the healthy surrounding tissues untouched. Patients suffering from Rosacea and spider vessels (also known as telangiectasias) can also benefit from photofacial therapy.

Any part of the body is suitable for photofacial therapy, and it is most commonly done to improve the health of skin on the face, chest, arms, and hands. Receiving a photofacial in San Diego is particularly wise, as the fine weather year-round means that your skin is exposed to the elements far more often, leaving it at risk for sun damage and other skin problems.
