About FotoFacial Treatments
FotoFacial Treatments are full face, neck and chest treatments using pulses of visible light that effectively improve facial redness and flushing as well as the visible signs of sun damage and aging. Red-brown blotchiness of the arms and legs also improves with this therapy. FotoFacial Treatments were developed and first introduced by Board-certified dermatologist, Patrick Bitter Jr., M.D. as a non invasive method to rejuvenate and improve skin with no downtime. A non-laser medical device (the Vasculight SR from Lumenis) is used to deliver a series of gentle pulses of light to the skin. Specific settings are selected for each treatment to maximize improvement. A series fo five treatments are performed at three week intervals. The benefits of FotoFacial Treatments are a consistent, visible improvement in the skin with no downtime, little discomfort, and minimal risk. With FotoFacial Treatments, for the first time, the embarrassing redness and flushing of rosacea can be dramatically reduced and sun damaged, aged skin can be noticeably improved.

- Treatments effectively reduce redness, flushing and
dilated bloodvessels
- Sun damage (Photo-aging). Treatments reduce fine wrinkling, freckling and irregular pigmentation
- Treatments smooth skin and reduce pore size
