Many adults will experience a variety of noticeable changes in their skin as they get older. Sun damage, pigmentation, age spots, dilated blood vessels– these are all skin conditions that can negatively affect our self-esteem and make us look older than we really are.
If you’ve been looking for a non-invasive way to even out your skin tone by reducing the appearance of red and brown spots, a FotoFacial (IPL treatment) may be right for you.
A FotoFacial uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to improve your skin’s overall appearance. Because it’s non-invasive, has no downtime, and yields substantial results, this is the most popular skin rejuvenation treatment at our practice. And although it is often called a “FotoFacial,” this treatment can be used to rejuvenate other parts of the body like the neck, chest, arms, and hands.
A FotoFacial is also an effective treatment for calming rosacea.
Sun damaged areas of skin, unwanted freckles, and dilated blood vessels can all be treated effectively with IPL. Surface areas of damaged skin will dry and flake off to expose healthy, new skin. Treatments also work below the skin’s surface to tighten tissue and stimulate collagen.
You can expect the following when it comes to FotoFacial treatment:
Following each treatment, your sun spots will turn dark and flake off naturally over a few days. We recommend keeping treated skin clean and moisturized and we will teach you how to protect your skin after treatment.
It’s important to protect your skin from the sun following each treatment as well as use products designed for sensitive skin until you are healed. You will need to avoid prolonged sun exposure during the course of your treatment schedule. A high-SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen is recommended when outside.
Immediately following treatment, you can expect to see mild redness, and it may feel like a sunburn in the treated area. This should only last a few hours, but in some cases, up to a day or two. You’ll often start to see results a few days after treatment, but the full improvement will be seen 2 weeks after.
This procedure is known to restore your skin to its natural beauty. Discoloration or splotches will fade to reveal vibrant, more youthful skin. Prominent blood vessels or red spots will be improved, if not eliminated, in the treatment area.
Each patient’s results are unique to their individual skin conditions, but many people experience a 50-70% improvement in the appearance of the treated areas after the full course of treatment. Fotofacial is one of the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments because of the great results people see and the fact that there is no downtime from work and social events.
Our team will review any pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions during your initial consultation. During treatment, you will be walked through each step of the treatment process to ensure your comfort.
“Our practice philosophy is simple — to deliver the very best care we can in the very best way we can. To us, that means we make each and every patient feel welcomed from the moment that they walk in the door until they leave the office. It means that we listen to what the patient has to say and address those concerns. It means we give advice and recommend treatments based on our extensive training with leaders in the field, our wealth of personal experience, and our commitment to excellence. For our cosmetic patients, it means working with the patient to achieve results that look natural, not overdone or exaggerated. It means that we always strive to do the right thing for the patient, as we value very highly ethics, honesty, and integrity. It means we stand behind what we do and will do everything in our power to get the best results we can for the patient. It means we carefully select the highest quality staff to represent us and help us carry out these goals. Lastly and most importantly, it means that we treat the patient the way we would want ourselves to be treated, with respect and kindness. Because at the end of the day, without all of our loyal patients, we wouldn’t have a practice.”
"He saved my life! Literally! I've been seeing Dr. Potozkin for over 20 years and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my skin.

But if I do, I am confident that Dr Potozkin and his highly trained staff will take care of me. He is the best in his field. Everyone on his staff is so caring and helpful. I feel so comfortable when I'm there. So please, if you have any skin concerns, make an appointment, don't delay, your life may depend on it."

"Dr. Potozkin and his team are the best! My skin issues/problems have drastically improved since I have been coming to this Doctor-over 5, maybe even 10 years. His staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The office is a flagship store that sells my favorite skin repair and healing products- by SkinCeuticals. I don’t live near this office, but I would never go anywhere else even if it’s closer. Absolutely worth the trip. The results are real!"
