What is a PhotoFacial?
A PhotoFacial is such an effective anti-aging tool that we recommend them for anyone over 30 with a light to medium complexion. This treatment uses light energy to target red or brown pigments. While many laser treatments do not effectively target pigments, especially red ones, a PhotoFacial can target a range of pigmentation shades.Â

What is the Best Type of PhotoFacial?
At Albuquerque Vein & Laser Institute, we use the Harmony XL system to provide a Dye VL PhotoFacial. This treatment combines a standard Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) PhotoFacial with a powerful Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL). A Dye VL PhotoFacial uses pulses of light energy at different wavelengths to target skin concerns.Â
Using several filters to focus light on different pigment issues, this type of PhotoFacial restores clearer, brighter skin. We consider a Dye VL PhotoFacial a “gold standard” treatment for sun damage and uneven skin.Â
What Can a Dye VL PhotoFacial Treat?
A Dye VL PhotoFacial uses filters to focus wavelengths on different pigments. This type of PhotoFacial can effectively treat a wide range of skin issues, such as:
- Rosacea
- Melasma
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Spider veins
- Vascular birthmarks
- Brown spots
- Redness from acne
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
We recommend that anyone over 30 with an appropriate skin tone get a PhotoFacial to fight signs of aging and keep skin looking clear and youthful.Â
Is There Any Downtime With a PhotoFacial?
A Dye VL PhotoFacial does not require any downtime. You can return to work or activities immediately. However, you will need to avoid sun exposure for two to three weeks since your skin could negatively react to UV energy during this time.Â

What Results Will I See With a PhotoFacial?
You can see results almost immediately after your PhotoFacial. Skin will look brighter and more even. Most people see their best results after multiple treatments spaced three to four weeks apart. After each treatment, you will notice more fading of your pigmentation concerns and overall brighter skin.Â
Am I a Good Candidate for a PhotoFacial?
Good candidates for a PhotoFacial have fair to moderate skin tone (Fitzpatrick type I-III). We recommend regular PhotoFacial treatments starting at age 30 to maintain youthful skin and erase pigmentation issues before they can become a problem.Â
This treatment is an excellent option for people who cannot take time out of a busy life to recover from a more invasive procedure. If your skin tone is not appropriate for a PhotoFacial, we can recommend other equally effective methods.Â
