Using gentle pulsed light to create a youthful vitality, tone, texture, color and smoothness to the skin, the FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatment is a no-downtime, outpatient procedure that fades brown and pink discolorations, improves rosacea, lessens pores and smooths fine wrinkles – all with no downtime or recovery.

What is the FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatment?

FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatments are full face, neck, hands or body treatments using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radiofrequency (RF) energy combined in the same pulse. These gentle, no-downtime treatments are used to improve the cosmetic appearance of the face, neck or body. The original FotoFacial^® procedure was co-developed by Dr. Patrick Bitter, Jr., a dermatologist, and Dr. R. Stephen Mulholland, a plastic surgeon, bringing together the best of aesthetic dermatologic skincare and cosmetic plastic surgery into one non-invasive procedure. The FotoFacial^® treatment has increased in popularity and recognition to the point where it is now one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in North America. Dr. Bitter and Dr. Mulholland have trained over six thousand physician practices – including Bair Medical Spa – in the art of advanced FotoFacial RF Pro^® and the treatment has been featured in Allure, Cosmopolitan, In Style, Vogue, USA Today, and numerous national and regional TV shows such as the TODAY Show and Extreme Makeover. Many Hollywood stars and TV personalities rave about the FotoFacial^® and credit this treatment for the renewed health and vitality in their skin. The FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatment is the next generation in high-tech skin enhancement.

How does the FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatment work?

By marrying Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and RadioFrequency (RF) energy into one treatment, FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatments offer the very latest and most effective high-tech, non-invasive form of skin enhancement. Many other lasers and devices such as basic IPL Photorejuvenation or Intense Pulsed Light systems claim to deliver state-of-the-art photorejuvenation. With these basic IPL Photorejuvenation procedures you may notice a degree of improvement in the appearance of some aspects of your skin; however, by combining RadioFrequency and Intense Pulsed Light into one FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatment, you will achieve the optimal degree of enhancement to all components of your skin. By adding the RadioFrequency to the Intense Pulsed Light, the FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatment can now boast excellent, no-downtime wrinkle improvements together with the significant improvement in redness, rosacea, pinkness, spider veins, pores and texture.

How is the FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatment performed?

The FotoFacial RF Pro^® procedure is a simple, office-based treatment. The client is covered with a thin layer of cooling gel and the entire face, chest, hands, arms or body are treated with a gentle pulse of light and Radiofrequency energy. Each treatment takes less than one hour and involves pulses of bright visible light and Radiofrequency energy that are passed into the skin. Because each FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatment is gentle, most clients require five or six FotoFacial RF Pro^® sessions to see the desired results, and they are performed every three weeks. At Bair Medical Spa, three PCA skin^® rejuvenating peels are performed between FotoFacial RF Pro^® sessions to enhance the penetration of the light and Radiofrequency energy.

How does the FotoFacial RF Pro^® treatment work to improve the appearance of the skin?

Each pulse of the FotoFacial RF^® device sends two types of energy into your skin – Intense Pulsed Visible Light and RadioFrequency (RF) energy – that act synergistically to enhance the skin. These combined energies are attracted to brown spots, blood vessels, and redness to gradually and gently lessen or eliminate these blemishes. The RadioFrequency also produces significant amounts of collagen, elastin and ground substances, the thick undercarpet of the skin, resulting in a noticeable and significant smoothing of fine to moderate wrinkles and textural irregularities of the skin.
