Getting older does not mean you have to look older, too. Sure, your facial skin may start to sag or become dull or even discolored. You can fight this with a number of products, including moisturizers or anti ageing serums. The effect, if any, is only temporary though. For better and faster results, try a Fotofacial Las Vegas instead.

There are a variety of reasons why skin starts to look old, and age is but one of them. Pollutants in the environment is another reason, as is excessive sun exposure, particularly if you did not always use sunscreen. You may start to get age spots, fine lines and possibly even wrinkles. Some people also experience blood vessels that pop or appear to be very visible beneath the skin. The texture of your skin may be rough or uneven as well.

A fotofacial uses IPL, or intense pulsed light to treat these signs of getting older. IPLs have been around for while now, but this new version allows you to see results faster and for a longer period of time.

The fact that you will need fewer sessions to see the same or better results than the older technology means less time in a dermatologist's office for you, and more time doing your own thing. The total amount of time you will need to see results will vary widely. It mostly depends on how many issues you want to work on, and how much of your face needs treatment. It could be five minutes to an hour.

After you go through a session, you will notice that your skin looks and feels much smoother. Any sun damage starts to lessen, and with multiple treatments can be reversed. Even other conditions such as rosacea or reddening of the skin is lessened, giving you a more youthful glow.

Many people do not think of cancer when they think of getting any kind of facial, but a fotofacial could help prevent cancer. If you have a condition called actinic keratoses, then you likely have rough and even scaly patches on your body. The IPL from a fotofacial can help stop AK from turning into cancer.

In case you are worried about pain or needles, you do not have to do so with fotofacials. Your dermatologist will use a cooling treatment before and after the session. It numbs the area so you feel less pain, and also makes your recovery time afterward very quick.

In fact, as soon as the session is over, you can put your makeup back on and go about your day as you normally would. The only real proviso that the dermatologist might give you is to be sure to use sunscreen for at least a couple of weeks after your sessions.

In truth, you should already be wearing sunscreen. But your face will be a little more sensitive to the sun right after a fotofacial, so if you are not wearing it now, you should definitely start. If your dermatologist has any other tips or advice for you, make sure to follow them. That way you will be well on your way to looking younger and making people wonder why you are looking better than ever.
