Do you have a question?
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.
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.
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.
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.
