GentleMAX® Photofacial
The GentleMAX Photofacial targets sun damage, age spots and freckles by pulsing light based energy into the unwanted pigment. This causes the temperature of the unwanted melanin to rise which helps to break up the pigment. Deeper level damaged blood vessels are treated similarly with a quick switch of settings. Shortly after treatment, the pigment cells (or melanin) have been thoroughly fragmented, without damaging the surrounding tissue. Broken blood vessels also coagulate and shrink, many of them disappearing altogether.
In the weeks after treatment, the shattered melanin particles are eliminated by your body's own "clean up" system that absorbs the fragmented pigment. Little or no trace of the initial pigmentation spots or spidery veins remain. A GentleMAX Photofacial treatment also improves skin texture through collagen stimulation. You get multiple treatment benefits through one treatment.

FAQs:
1. How long does the procedure take?
About 15-30 minutes or less, depending on the size and number of targeted areas
2. What is the recovery time?
There is no downtime from photo-rejuvenation with GentleMAX®.
3. How many treatments are needed for best results?
A series of 3-5 treatments is recommended spaced approximately 3-4 weeks apart. Immediately after the treatment, patients can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts 2-24 hours, and can be soothed with ice packs. As the treatments progress sunspots will start to fade and blood vessels will appear less visible. Results can keep improving over time, as new collagen growth will stimulate more healthy layers of skin. Results are long-lasting and follow-up treatments can help maintain them even longer.
4. How should I care for my skin post-treatment?
It is very important to avoid sun exposure for one week after treatments to reduce the chance of sunburn, darkening of the skin or lightening of the skin. Use of gentle cleansers and a SPF 30 or higher is recommended during the entire course of treatment.
