Are you ready to revitalize your skin?
Then, Omnilight photo-rejuvenation (using light based technology
to rejuvenate your skin) may be right for you. While traditional
Fotofacial technology has been around for almost 10 years,
the Omnilight™ fluorescent pulsed light (FPL) device
takes Fotofacials to the next level. The Omnilight™ can
transform your skin making it look flawless, youthful and
glowing once again.
The Omnilight’s™ mode of action
is different from that of lasers. While lasers specifically
target one problem in the skin whether it is brown spots,
red spots, acne or wrinkles, the beauty of FPL treatments
is that Dr. Roberts can treat it all with just one device.
And while more than one treatment is often needed, with
each treatment you will see a reduction in imperfections
caused by age, sun damage, hormonal changes and other skin
conditions like Rosacea.
Because of it’s multifunctional
design, the Omnilight can also remove unwanted facial or
body hair, treat precancerous skin lesions and prevent new
one’s from reaching the skin’s surface by using
it in conjunction with photodynamic therapy (see
Photodynamic therapy section in our website).
Who is a candidate for Omnilight™ therapy?
During your consultation, Dr. Roberts
will help determine if Omnilight is the right choice for
you. Before pursuing Omnilight™ treatment you should
consider the following:
• If
you are suntanned, the Omnilight™ cannot be used until your
tan has completely faded to avoid any risk of healing with
skin discoloration (white or brown spots), which can be
permanent.
• If you have
a history of sun sensitivity disorders, like Lupus, or are
on sun sensitivity medications, the Omnilight™ may
not be ideal for you.
• It is recommended
that patients wait until after pregnancy and/or breastfeeding
to use Omnilight™ due to increased hormone levels,
which stimulate blood vessel growth and brown pigment of
the skin.
• Patients must
be off Accutane for 6 months prior to starting Omnilight™ due
to a potential increased risk of scarring.
And while the Omnilight reveals healthy
younger looking skin, as we continue to age and expose ourselves
to the sun and other environmental stressors, repeated treatments
may be necessary.
