FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR LASER FACIAL

What does Laser FACIAL do?

Laser FACIAL is a non-ablative procedure that can reduce visible facial vessels, diffuse redness,

acne scars, Rosacea, sun damage, and large pores. It has been FDA cleared to reduce wrinkles

by gently warming the upper dermis, improving the appearance of your skin. The result is a

healthy looking and vibrant appearance.

The LaserFACIAL difference:

The Laser FACIAL procedure utilizes laser technology that can safely, discretely and effectively

treat small targets. Unlike many other treatment methods, LaserFACIAL is a comfortable, nonablative

form of skin therapy. This means you will be able to see subtle yet consistent results after

each treatment, without unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. Your

therapy can be performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the use of general or local

anesthesia, gel or cream.

What areas can be treated?

Unlike many other procedures available today, with LaserFACIAL skin therapy, your physician

can safely treat all areas. The most common is facial, neck and chest.

What are facial vessels, telangiectasia, and diffused redness?

Telangiectasia, or facial vessels, are dilated capillaries that commonly appear on the surface of

the face and in areas around the nose, cheeks and above the neckline. Capillaries are tiny blood

vessels that are present throughout the body. Prolonged sun exposure, aging, trauma and other

factors can cause capillaries to become dilated and visible. There is also a hereditary factor in

developing facial telangiectasia. LaserFACIAL therapy will help your appearance by treating

any visible trace of these unsightly veins. Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial

redness, such as rosy cheeks. As with facial telangiectasia, this condition is a result of dilated

capillaries, however the appearance is more of a general redness rather than discrete well-defined

vessels. The most commonly affected areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuse redness is

often associated with a condition called rosacea that can be hereditary. LaserFACIAL therapy

will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing this condition.

What can I expect before the treatment?

There are no complicated pretreatment rituals with this procedure. Prior to the actual

LaserFACIAL treatment you will be asked to remove your make-up or moisturizers and, in some

cases, you may be asked to shave the area to be treated so as not to interfere with the laser

treatment. Your physician will review and assist with all pretreatment requirements. There are no

numbing creams used in this procedure.

How many treatments do I need?

The treatment results are often very subtle. On average you may require 4 to 6 treatments in order

to achieve the results you are looking for. Every patient's conditions and needs vary. Some

conditions may require more treatments. It is important for the clinical staff to have a clear

understanding of your expectations to make sure they are realistic with this type of procedure. For

more information about your expected results or the number of treatments necessary, consult your

physician.

Is the treatment painful?

No, LaserFACIAL is a comfortable, non-ablative, non-invasive treatment. Unlike other laser

treatments it does not wound the skin's surface therefore virtually eliminating the need for

complicated post treatment care. Typically patients describe the treatment as a gentle warming of

the surface.
