PHOTOFACIAL
Get rid of redness and age spots for a more even skin tone!
Reduce pigmented lesions, redness, and broken capillaries. Using the GentleMax Pro® device, unwanted melanin is absorbed by laser light, which breaks down the skin’s pigment in that area without damaging any of the surrounding tissue.
SPOT-FREE SKIN WITH GENTLE MAX
Take 7 Days Challenge
After 7 days of treatment, your body’s own “clean up” system completely eliminates those shattered melanin particles. After this, there will be little or no trace of those spots or spidery veins you once had. The GentleMax Pro® PhotoFacial treatment also improves skin texture through collagen stimulation.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A Photofacial uses intense pulsed light (IPL) from the GentleMax Pro® device to target pigmented lesions, sun spots, redness, and broken capillaries. The light is absorbed by unwanted melanin and hemoglobin, breaking down the pigment without damaging surrounding tissue for a more even skin tone.
Most patients see noticeable improvement after a single session, but a series of 2–4 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal, long-lasting results depending on the severity of pigmentation and redness.
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snap or warmth against the skin, similar to a rubber band flick. The GentleMax Pro® features a built-in cooling device that minimizes discomfort, and a topical numbing cream can be applied for extra comfort.
Results can last several months to years with proper sun protection. Because pigmentation can return with new sun exposure, we recommend daily sunscreen and occasional maintenance treatments to keep your skin clear and even-toned.
There is little to no downtime. Treated dark spots may temporarily darken and flake off within 7–10 days, and mild redness can occur for a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately and can apply makeup after treatment.
Photofacials are safest and most effective on skin types 1–3 and some skin type 4s. It is ideal for treating sun damage, age spots, freckles, facial redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries. A free consultation will confirm if the treatment is right for your skin.
