What It Treats
Photo Firm is an excellent option to firm skin, address signs of aging, and correct skin tone all in one treatment. Photo Firm improves the appearance of lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, redness, dullness, dilated pores, and lax skin.
How It Works
A Photo Firm treatment uses multiple wavelengths of transforming laser light to rejuvenate skin from deep beneath the surface. Some wavelengths target cells with excessive pigment to address age spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. A second wavelength stimulates elastin and collagen production to transform skin from the inside out. As the skin’s natural rebuilding process is stimulated, skin is lifted and transformed.
Pre Treatment
Please avoid sun tanning or sun exposure for 2-4 weeks prior to treatment. Please discuss ceasing any medication with your doctor before doing so. If you are prone to cold sores, we may recommend taking natural immune-boosting supplements or anti-viral medication.
Please advise your treatment provider if you are currently undergoing Accutane treatment or have undergone a similar drug treatment plan within the last six months, or if you are undergoing gold therapy.
If you are a male client with facial hair, you’ll need to shave the target area before treatment. Some antibiotics and skin creams containing retinol or hyaluronic acid shouldn’t be used before treatment – we’ll provide you with more details prior to your treatment.
If you are new to this treatment at Raw Canvas, please book a "Laser Spot Treatment" at least 12 hours before your appointment. We will spot test to ensure you do not negatively react to the laser. We can also complete spot treatments during consultations.
Post Treatment
You may experience some redness or swelling directly following treatment which subsides within several hours. Brown spots may darken temporarily before they start to fall away naturally over the course of several days.
Please avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF. Avoid excessively hot showers, hot yoga, spas, or saunas for several days following treatment. We recommend using gentle, non-irritating products after facial laser treatments as your skin recovers.
