Photo facial treatment, skin specialist in Janakpuri

Flawless skin is something that each of us dream, especially when it comes to our face. We all want that perfectly glowing, spotless skin that is blemish and wrinkle free. And there are many remedies that people try out in order to maintain their skin and keep it looking flawless.

As you may all be aware, one of the main culprits when it comes to causing skin related problems is exposure to sunlight. Although we do need some amount of exposure to sunlight when it comes to maintaining healthy skin, too much of can lead to development of a sun-tan, skin darkening and even damage to the skin.

Although a sun screen may help to reduce the amount of damage that occurs to your skin as a result of daily exposure to sunlight, it cannot entirely prevent it and in the long run, you will definitely be able to see the changes that are occurring to your skin as a result of this damage.

Of late, more and more people are turning towards photo facial treatment carried out by a skin specialist in Janakpuri, as the answer to reverse this damage that occurs as a result of exposure to sunlight. And, we are here to explain to you all about photo facial treatment and how it can benefit you.

What is photo facial treatment?

It is a light based treatment which helps to reverse a y changes that may have occurred to your skin as a result of too much exposure to sunlight. Along with this, it also helps solve other skin issues that people may be having, because during this treatment, your skin becomes rejuvenated, and there is a boost of collagen and elastin production in the skin, making it look healthier, and helping to solve many other skin related issues.

What are the benefits of photo facial treatment?

Because of this increased elastin and collagen production, there are multiple benefits to the skin which include:

Improvement of skin texture and tone
Reduces skin blemishes
Reduces dark spots
Skin pores are tightened
Reduces acne scars
Reduces wrinkles on the skin
Reduces development of acne
Helps with the treatment of Rosacea, a condition which develops as a result of an enlarged blood vessel and causes you skin to look red

You might still be wondering why you should opt for photo facial treatment when there are many other types of treatments that address the same issues. Added to the above mentioned benefits, you should also know that this treatment is less time consuming, with a session usually taking only up to 20 minutes, and never exceeding 1 hour. It can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, back, arms and neck. It can be done in conjunction with other skin care treatments and its effects are long lasting.

What are the different kinds of photo facial treatments available?

There are 2 different types of photo facial treatments available, which is the LED (Light Emitting Diode) treatment and the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment, which are both different from your regular facial. Led treatment is less intense, and involves using different hand held light emitting devices to your skin, which then help to boost collagen production and can help resolve minor issues such as wrinkles and blemishes.

IPL treatment is more intense than LED and involves the use of a powerful light whose wavelength is outside that of laser, and this light then penetrates deep into the skin to boost production of elastin and collagen, but does not cause any harm. Both these types of treatment will leave your skin looking younger and rejuvenated.

Answers to permanent removal of body hair

Growth of body hair:

When it comes to body hair, different people have different perspectives to it. Some people who are into body hair, don’t have a problem with it, but those who are aren’t, have a problem with stepping out without having that perfectly flawless skin, minus the body hair.

For some people, it’s the problem of having too much body hair, that grows to soon and even body hair that is coarse in texture. All of these leads them to look for various methods of hair removal, but for almost everyone the best solution would be if they could find a permanent solution to their problems. And laser treatment for hair removal has evolved as the answer to their problems.

Because, it’s not easy to be shaving or waxing the various parts of your body on a daily or weekly basis and or paying a visit to your salon every week to get your body waxed. People become tired of these routines, and would prefer to have a less time consuming, less painful, and cost effective method of hair removal presented to them. And this is exactly what laser hair removal in Janakpuri has become.

Laser hair removal treatment :

This is the latest method of body hair removal that everyone is turning to, both males and females. Because it promises to be a method that permanentlystops hair growth and makes you not have to worry about hair growth in the different parts of your body.

Laser treatment includes a method called selective photo thermolysis, where laser light is optimally targeted to a certain area of your body and, and the hair follicles in this are heated and the root of the hair follicle is damaged as a result of this heat. There is no effect of this light to the surrounding areas of the body and no lasting effect on the skin other than the damaged hair follicle.

It is becoming increasingly popular because it’s a quick method, and you will be able to see results after the very first session, although the growth does not stop immediately, but you will be able to witness a reduction in the rate of growth of the hair. Therefore it is considered an effective method as well.

How does it compare with other traditional methods?

Most people have gotten used to removing body hair using the traditional methods such as shaving or waxing. But these do tend to come with their own problems as well.

For example laser treatment is better off when compared to shaving with the razor, because shaving is a very temporary method of hair removal, and you will be able to see a stubble growing back the very next day after shaving, and shaving also leaves your skin red and irritated for a few hours afterwards, which is dead giveaway.

When talking about waxing, it tends to be painful, when you have to pull the wax off your body, and again it’s not permanent methods when compared to laser.

What are the different types of laser treatments?

There are many different types such as Ruby, Argon and so on. These very in the pulse width and spot size that is used during the treatment and are used for different skin types. Pulse width refers to the amount of heat and the duration that the heat is applied for, because it directly related to the amount of damage that is done to the hair follicle. The spot size determines the depth of penetration of heat.

People with darker skin require more heat and deeper penetration, which means that the process will be slightly more painful for them, and the process of epidermal cooling is being used to reduce this effect on such skin, where they use circulating cryogen spray and water to help cool the skin.

The benefits of laser hair removal:

Even though it may seem like a long and complicated process, most people have realized the benefits of this type of hair removal, and are opting for it more and more. These benefits include:

Speed – laser hair removal is faster than other methods, although the speed is dependent on the part of the body on which the treatment is being done.
