Does photofacial help with Rosacea?

Yes, BBL Photofacials are excellent for treating Rosacea. The light energy targets the hemoglobin in broken capillaries, reducing redness and flushing.

How long is downtime after photofacial treatment?

Most patients experience 2-7 days of mild redness and can return to normal activities immediately with proper sun protection.

Photofacial Scottsdale | BBL Laser for Rosacea & Sun Spots

Transform your sun-damaged skin with advanced Photofacial treatments at Infini Cosmetic. Serving Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Paradise Valley, our expert aestheticians use cutting-edge BroadBand Light (BBL) technology to target the reds (rosacea/capillaries) and browns (sun spots/age spots) that age your complexion.

Whether you are struggling with persistent redness, flushing from Rosacea, or stubborn sun spots from the Arizona sun, a BBL Photofacial delivers smoother, healthier, and more vibrant results with minimal downtime. For patients requiring deeper texture correction, we may recommend our Laser Peel or Microneedling services.

What Is a Photofacial (BBL/IPL)?

A photofacial (also known as a fotofacial or IPL) uses innovative BroadBand Light (BBL) technology to treat sun-damaged and aging skin. This non-invasive procedure employs advanced dual-lamp technology with an integrated cooling system that keeps the treatment area comfortable throughout your session.

The light energy delivered during your photofacial treatment targets two main chromophores: hemoglobin (redness/veins) and melanin (brown spots). The energy is absorbed by the targeted areas without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. Over the following few days, these pigmented lesions will naturally darken (like coffee grounds) and fall off, while redness dissipates, revealing clearer, more youthful skin underneath.

How Does Photofacial BBL Technology Work?

Step-by-step visual showing BBL light penetration, melanin targeting, and skin healing process

The BroadBand Light system represents a significant advancement over older IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology. During your photofacial in Scottsdale, our skilled aestheticians use precise light wavelengths to target specific skin concerns:

The Treatment Process:

Light energy penetrates the upper skin layers
Hemoglobin in broken capillaries absorbs the light energy, causing vessels to collapse (treating Rosacea)
Melanin in pigmented lesions absorbs the energy (treating Sun Spots)
Damaged cells begin the natural healing process
New, healthy skin cells replace old, damaged tissue

The integrated cooling system ensures your comfort throughout the procedure, making photofacial treatments an excellent choice for patients seeking effective skin rejuvenation without significant discomfort.

Patients experience a noticeable change in skin texture and brightness following their photofacial treatment. This rapid transformation makes BBL an ideal choice for special events.

Am I a Good Candidate for Photofacial Treatment?

Photofacial treatments work best for patients with:

Mild to moderate sun damage
Age spots and pigmentation issues
Uneven skin tone
Redness from broken capillaries or rosacea
Small facial veins and spider veins

Considerations for Phoenix and Scottsdale Patients:

Living in the Arizona desert means increased sun exposure, making residents ideal candidates for photofacial treatments. The intense UV radiation in our region often leads to accelerated skin aging and sun damage that responds excellently to BBL technology.

How Long Does Photofacial Treatment Take?

At our Scottsdale location, most photofacial sessions take just 30-45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Treatment Timeline:

1

Consultation and skin analysis: 15 minutes

2

Preparation and numbing (if desired): 60 minutes

3

BBL photofacial treatment: 30-45 minutes

4

Post-treatment care instructions: 5 minutes

The efficient treatment time makes photofacial perfect for busy schedules, often referred to as a "lunchtime procedure" by our Scottsdale patients.

What Should I Expect During Recovery?

Immediate Post-Treatment:

You may experience mild redness similar to a light sunburn, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours. The treated pigmented lesions (sun spots) will gradually darken over 2-3 days before naturally flaking off.

Days 3-7:

As your skin heals, you'll notice the pigmented areas continuing to darken and eventually slough off, revealing clearer skin underneath. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately with proper sun protection.

Phoenix and Scottsdale Recovery Tips:

Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily (crucial in Arizona sun)

Avoid direct sun exposure for 48-72 hours
