Rejuvenate Your Complexion with a Photofacial

If your face has brown spots, hyper-pigmentation, large pores, redness, rosacia, sun damage or uneven tone, you could be an excellent candidate for a photofacial. New York patients trust Dr. Sterry to rejuvenate their complexion with minimal discomfort and little or no downtime using this state-of-the-art treatment. Dr. Sterry’s Manhattan office provides a relaxed, comfortable environment to receive this minimally invasive and virtually painless treatment in less than 30 minutes without the use of anesthesia gel or cream.

The IPL photofacial uses intense pulsed light to rejuvenate the skin without wounds or long periods of downtime for recovery. With other full-face laser skin resurfacing treatments, an ablative process removes the entire outer skin layer and portions of the underlying skin, requiring one to two weeks of recovery that includes crusting, discomfort, oozing and swelling. Since photofacial treatments are non-ablative, there is no visible disruption to the outer skin layer and little or no downtime.

After visiting Dr. Sterry’s Manhattan office for a photofacial, New York patients often go right back to work or resume their regular routine without having to hide away at home while they recover. There may be some temporary mild redness after an IPL photofacial treatment, however, and you should avoid sun exposure for the recommended period following the treatment. The best part is that the results are almost immediate. It creates a subtle change, giving you a more even skin tone, refined skin texture, reduction in brown spots and an overall look of youthfulness.

If you feel that a photofacial treatment could be right for you, contact Dr. Sterry’s office today and set up an appointment for a consultation. He will evaluate you, listen to your goals and determine the best way to achieve the younger and more rejuvenated look you desire without a long and painful recovery.
