Fotofacial™

Dermacare Plastic Surgery in Phoenix, AZ offers Fotofacial™, a cutting-edge treatment that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to improve the appearance of sun damage, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

Fotofacial™ works by delivering a series of intense pulses of light energy to the skin, which are absorbed by the pigmented cells, causing them to shrink and eventually disappear. The heat generated by the light energy also stimulates collagen production, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin.
The Fotofacial™ treatment is safe for all skin types and can be used to treat the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas of the body that have sun damage, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, or uneven skin tone.
At Dermacare Plastic Surgery, we understand that every patient is unique and requires a personalized treatment plan. That's why we work with each patient to understand their specific goals and create a treatment plan that meets their individual needs. Most patients will need multiple treatments to achieve optimal results.

The recovery period after Fotofacial™ is minimal and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. Some mild redness, swelling, or peeling may occur in the treated area, but these side effects are usually short-lived.

Results from Fotofacial™ can be seen immediately following the treatment, but optimal results will be seen over time as collagen production increases and new skin cells form.
