However, makeup can be applied immediately after the procedure and activity is not restricted, allowing immediate return to work or play.
Sun exposure should be avoided for a short time before and after the procedure. Various trademarked names have popped up to describe the laser treatment, such as PhotofacialTM, EpifacialTM, FacialLightTM , etc.
Although there are slight differences in each of the above mentioned protocols, the basic concept is the same and we prefer to call it "Photo-rejuvenation," a term which describes the process of using light energy to rejuvenate the skin. This is not meant to replace a face-lift or deep laser resurfacing, the only methods of truly reversing sagging and deeply wrinkled skin. But, for those with mild to moderate aging and sun-induced changes of the skin, Photo-rejuvenation respresents a safe and easy treatment to give your skin the bounce and even tone of your younger days.
