AFT Photo-Rejuvenation is the latest and unique approach to enhance the texture of skin and manage various skin concerns pertaining to skin aging, sun damage and environmental damage. This is a new and easy to implement method that employs light to address different issues such as pigmentation, redness, acne scars and skin tone to provide the patient with new skin. This makes the procedure to be favorable to those who are in search of a way to improve their skin appearance in the shortest time possible and at the same time, avoid surgery.
AFT has numerous advantages such as: smoother skin surface; reduction of wrinkles; smaller pores; and better skin color. It is very efficient in the removal of pigmented and lesions, sun vascular variags spots thus giving your skin a fresher look. Also, the treatment also increases the collagen production thus enhancing the elasticity of the skin as well as reduces the appearance of the wrinkles within the same time frame. It also has less side effects thus the patients can be allowed to continue with their normal activities within few hours after the treatment.
This treatment is recommended for those with mild to moderate skin concerns including dyschromia, erythema and superficial wrinkles. It suits individuals with light to medium skin color and good skin condition. However, it is not safe for those who have dark skin color or people with certain medical problems such as skin infections or photosensitivity. This means that the person has to consult with a dermatologist or an esthetician for the treatment since one has to be evaluated for it.
It is recommended that patients first consult with a certified professional for a skin analysis before undertaking AFT Photo-Rejuvenation. In the course of the skin assessment, the type of skin, the regions of interest and the background information of the patient are obtained. In this session the provider will also ensure that the client is explained on what to expect in the process and what he or she should expect from the results. Some of the steps that are commonly done before the treatment include; avoiding exposure to sun, using of tanning products, and avoiding some skincare products such as retinoids three weeks before the scheduled appointment. Before the day of the treatment the skin is required to be cleansed and there is no need to wear makeup or lotions.
The AFT procedure is quite straightforward and rather fast as it takes 20-45 minutes to complete, based on the region to be treated. A device that gives out bursts of light is used and certain parts of the body are illuminated. Even though the treatment is usually discomforting, there might be slight itching or a feeling as if the skin is being snapped by a rubber band. A cooling gel or device may be used to enhance comfort.
Following the session, the skin might appear slightly red or feel sensitive, akin to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a day or two. Patients should avoid direct sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen diligently to protect their skin. Any swelling or redness can be managed with cold compresses. Over the following weeks, the treated areas will gradually lighten, and the overall texture will improve as collagen production is stimulated.
It is said that the final outcome of AFT Photo-Rejuvenation can be seen after several sessions since each successive session is intended to improve the skin’s texture and brightness. It is for this reason that most patients need 3 – 6 sessions at intervals of a few weeks to achieve the desired results. It is advisable to follow some certain skin care routine and sometimes have a touch up sessions to keep on having good results.
