FotoFacial RF
FotoFacial RF Facts
The natural aging process takes its toll on your skin over time. When combined with the effects of hormones, sun exposure and stress, it leaves you looking older than you feel. Your skin starts to lose elasticity, which reveals visible signs of aging such as texture changes, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin color, and redness. People are always looking for a way to turn back the hands of time and restore their youthful, vibrant appearance and FotoFacial RF is the latest innovation to help achieve that goal.
FotoFacial RF is a new, non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses gentle pulses of light combined with low radio frequency energy to improve the appearance of your skin. FotoFacial RF is one of the safest, most effective and comfortable solutions offered today for the superior results you desire and Dr. Maxine Tabas, M.D. is one of the only qualified experts in this field to offer you the procedure locally.
FotoFacial RF Overview
The FotoFacial RF treatments have proven to be low risk, are associated with few complications and patients rarely have downtime or have to miss work or regular activities.
Most side effects are short-term and include:
• Mild pinkness
• Mild blistering
• Increase in pigmentation (hyperpigmentation)
• Decrease in pigmentation (hypopigmentation)
The FotoFacial RF procedure is delivered by the Aurora device, which uses proprietary ELOS (electro-optical synergy) technology. ELOS marries all benefits of intense pulsed light and optical energy for the treatment of vascular and pigmented discolorations with the wrinkle and tightening benefits of radio frequency (RF) energy. These highly selective light energies are absorbed by your hemoglobin and pigmented lesions, but not significantly absorbed by your normal dermis. With the combination of energies utilizing IPL and bi-polar radiofrequency, you can safely reduce the appearance of many skin imperfections.
A wide variety of medical lasers and light systems are used today to rejuvenate skin but every laser is not effective for all skin types which means you might have to visit multiple practices to achieve your desired results. With the FotoFacial RF system delivered by Dr. Tabas, she will effectively remove your unwanted skin problems in one convenient location at her state-of-the art facility. Call us today and we will schedule your consultation. By the time you receive your first treatment, you will be tested to properly evaluate the correct settings for your skin condition and skin type. These parameters will then be recorded in your chart for future reference.
Because FotoFacial RF is a gentle treatment, it takes a combination of three to five visits, each approximately three weeks apart. During the course of your visits, the strength of each treatment is adjusted according to your skin’s response and once your skin’s condition is optimized, intermittent treatment once or twice a year is recommended to maintain your improvements.
