What Does Photofacial Treat?
Photofacials administered at our Los Angeles clinics treat various skin conditions, as well as patients’ cosmetic concerns. Thousands of women and men are looking for non-invasive ways to help keep their skin glowing and healthy. Therefore, photofacial treatments have increasingly become the go-to treatment for individuals impacted by rosacea or sun damage. But that’s not all. Photofacials also treat people who are dealing with:
- Spider veins
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Hyperpigmentation
- Large pores
- Broken Capillaries
- Freckles
- Acne scars
Our LA photofacials may also be used for other dermatological concerns, given recent advances in technology. Your BHSkin dermatologist can tell you if this is the best treatment for your unique circumstances.

What to Expect Before, During and After the Treatment
Before your photofacial treatment, you'll want to avoid the sun as much as possible. Your dermatologist may suggest a chemical peel or microdermabrasion to prepare your skin for the best possible results. We'll assess your skin type during your consultation to determine if this is the best method for you. Photofacials are not ideal for all skin types and tones.
During The Treatment
During a photofacial treatment, a patient will be provided with protective glasses to keep their eyes from the bright flashes of light from the IPL laser. Your dermatologist may apply a cool gel to the treatment area. This gel improves lubrication and also minimizes the redness that you could experience after the treatment.
After The Treatment
Generally, a patient who receives Photofacial will be able to resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. The side effects are almost always minimal. Some patients, however, may experience some redness or bruising after the treatment, and there may be some discomfort depending on the area that was treated. Ideally, after treatment, the patient will see a significant improvement in the problem that brought them to their dermatologist.
Are There Any Serious Side Effects?
The one serious side effect that a patient should watch for is a redness of the skin. However, these skin infections are an extremely unusual complication and generally are only seen in patients with an underlying immune system problem. Because of this, most reputable medical providers in the LA area will not provide photofacial treatments to these patients or those with Type 2 Diabetes.
