Facial features are important to most people and the reason that most of us strive to keep our face looking alert and young.  So if you are someone who suffers from skin problems like acne scars, sun spots, wrinkles and lines or constant red complexion, then you may want to keep on reading to learn more about a cosmetic procedure called Fotofacial.

Fotofacial is a great cosmetic procedure that is also called intense pulsed light (IPL) or photorejuvenation, it is non-ablative and can be used to address a number of skin disorders.

One of the benefits of IPL Fotofacial is that it does not harm the surface of the skin. This cosmetic treatment utilizes high intensity pulses of broadband light. The targeted, damaged portions of the skin are treated while the rest of the skin is not harmed.

IPL can also treat spider veins, melasma as well as age spots. There is little to no downtime and the procedure itself can be performed in just under an hour, allowing you to have the procedure performed over your lunch hour.

Fotofacial treatment may necessitate that you have more than one treatment depending on the amount of damage and areas that need to be treated.  If you need more than one treatment, they will typically be scheduled a month apart.  Following your IPL Fotofacial treatment, you should notice an incredible improvement in your skin’s texture and tone, with less redness and younger looking skin. The cost of IPL runs between 3-6 hundred dollars per treatment.

Spider Veins NJ

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Spider veins in NJ are small clusters of reddish purple veins that appear on your thighs, calves and/or ankles.  Those unsightly cluster of veins that force you to cover your legs and even cause embarrassment when someone sees them.  But the good news is that there are spider veins in NJ treatment options.

There are a variety of reasons behind the causes of spider veins. Some causes are heredity, pregnancy, over weight, hormones, work or activities that involve extended periods of sitting or standing.
In some instances spider veins can create issues like throbbing, a heavy, weighty feeling, night cramps, or itching.  There are times when you may experience spider veins without any symptoms too.

You can benefit from having your spider veins in NJ treated and those benefits include enhancing the overall look of your skin, improving your self-confidence as well as the appearance of your legs, and alleviating any symptoms that you may be experiencing in connection with your spider veins.

One type of spider vein procedure utilizes lasers with a high-energy focused beam.  Vascular lasers are aimed at the hemoglobin in your blood obliterating the blood vessel only while leaving the tissue around it undamaged.

Intense pulsed light therapy is another spider vein in NJ procedure that can eliminate spider veins and it is somewhat like the laser procedure only it has a broadband light rather than a focused light.  The broadband light gets rid of the blood vessel too as well as not damaging the tissue around the vein.

In most cases anesthesia might not be required, but you might be a little sore after treatment. You might also experience bruising and swelling after either treatment as well as noticing some tiny scabs.
