PhotoFacial/Skin Rejuvenation patients whether they received treatment for acne, rosacea, or sun/age spots can anticipate benefits gradually in the weeks following the treatment. Redness and swelling or minor discomfort may occur after a treatment but this will subside shortly. There is very little downtime with this procedure. Patients with darker or deeper complexions, or tanned skin, are at a higher risk for complications following a PhotoFacial/Skin Rejuvenation treatment. However, this procedure is considered one of the safest light-based facial treatments available. Here are some quick pointers to help you take care of the treatment area between sessions and achieve your best results:

Use SPF of at least 45 on the treatment area to protect the skin from sun exposure and potential sun damage.
Any redness or discomfort following the treatment will subside shortly, there is very little downtime with this procedure.
It may take several hours to a day before you begin to notice the results of the treatment. It may take a few days to see results, this varies from treatment-to-treatment.
If proper steps are taken to care for the skin between and after your PhotoFacial/Skin Rejuvenation treatments, results can last up to a year or even longer. Wear plenty of sunscreen and consistently follow your at-home skincare routine.
Small capillaries may appear larger may appear larger immediately following the treatment but this will fade quickly.
It is rare, but mild bruising or swelling may occur, but this too will dissipate shortly.
