Question:
How does photofacial work? Is this good if you have acne-prone skin?
Answer:
Photofacial works by applying high-intensity light to the skin. The light is absorbed by various targets including pigment and blood vessels converting the energy to heat. The heat is high enough to break up the target cells leading to improvement in the skin condition. Photofacial is safe to use on acne-prone skin and may even improve the acne condition.
