About the treatment

About Photofacials

A BBL photofacial at Elume Medspa in Fairfax, Virginia is $250 for the face, $350 for the face and neck, and $450 for the face, neck and chest, performed by our licensed clinical team.

Photofacial treatments, also known as BBL (BroadBand Light) therapy, are non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedures designed to improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. By targeting pigmentation, redness, and other imperfections, photofacials help you achieve a more radiant and youthful complexion.

The treatment

How Do Photofacials Work?

Photofacials use BroadBand Light (BBL) technology to deliver targeted bursts of light energy into the skin.

The light penetrates the skin’s surface and is absorbed by unwanted pigmentation or blood vessels, breaking them down naturally over time. Simultaneously, the light stimulates collagen production, which improves skin elasticity and texture. This dual-action process results in a brighter, more even complexion with long-lasting benefits.

Skin Cleansing & Gel Application

On the day of your photofacial treatment, your skin will be cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities. A cooling gel will be applied to the treatment area to protect your skin and enhance your comfort during the procedure.

Your provider will also provide protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the BBL light.

BBL Treatment

Using a handheld BBL device, your provider will deliver controlled pulses of light to the treatment area. You may feel a mild snapping sensation as the light is applied, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.

The session typically lasts 20–30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Your provider will ensure precise, even coverage to address your specific concerns, such as pigmentation, redness, or fine lines.

After Treatment Care

After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually subside within a few hours. Your provider will apply a soothing moisturizer and sunscreen to protect your skin and promote healing.

You’ll also receive detailed aftercare instructions, including avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products. Over the following days, you may notice dark spots flaking off as your skin renews itself, revealing a brighter, more even complexion.

FAQs

Book Photofacial
Are Photofacials Worth It?

Yes, photofacials are highly effective for treating various skin concerns, including sun damage, redness, and uneven skin tone. They provide noticeable improvements with minimal downtime, making them a convenient and worthwhile option for those seeking skin rejuvenation. Additionally, the treatment’s ability to stimulate collagen production offers long-term benefits for overall skin health.

Are Photofacials Better Than Microneedling?

Photofacials and microneedling address different skin concerns and may complement each other. Photofacials are ideal for reducing pigmentation, redness, and visible veins, while microneedling is better suited for improving skin texture, acne scars, and fine lines. The best treatment depends on your specific goals, and your provider can recommend the most suitable option during a consultation.

How Long Do Photofacial Results Last?

Photofacial results can last several months to a year, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and post-treatment care. Regular sunscreen use and maintenance sessions as recommended by your provider can help prolong the benefits.
