Advanced Fluorescent Technology
When it comes to the color of our skin we receive mixed messages—we have what could be called a spectrum disorder. With a little “color in your face” you are the picture of perfect health. But if “flushed from a high fever” a doctor’s visit may be in order. “Beach bronze” equals gold. Sun burn, bad. A once chaste “blushing bride” is rendered risqué with a satisfied “sex-flush.” And for new mothers, a previously pleasing “pregnancy glow” can morph into a post-natal “pregnancy mask” accented by splotchy red or brown patches. Our skin pigment and blood vessels contribute to these unwanted colorful occurrences and they are as individualized as we are. For our Med-Spa patients who’d like to even out these topical irregularities and rejuvenate their skin in the process, the AFT facial is just what the doctor ordered.
What is Advanced Fluorescent Technology?
The term “photofacial” may sound familiar—it is merely a generic name for a treatment that uses light-based technology to rejuvenate the skin. However, all photofacials are not created equally. At Aesthetic Elegance, we are proud to offer Advanced Fluorescent Technology, or AFT, the most up-to-the minute method of photo-rejuvenation. AFT is a laser light treatment used to remove all sorts of unwanted pigmentation—things like age spots, sun damage, birthmarks, freckling, and flushing from rosacea. Our patients benefit from the advantages of AFT. It is a safer, stronger, more efficient treatment. Translation? Fewer visits, virtually no risk, maximized results.
How does Advanced Fluorescent Technology Work?
Simply put, AFT targets red and brown pigment in your skin. Like its predecessor the IPL, the laser treatment delivers a series of intense pulsed light (IPL). But, because the AFT was developed to seek out only red or brown discoloration, the surrounding areas are no longer affected. This singular advance increases both the power and the depth of penetration with markedly improved results. Your skin will look healthier and you will feel better—faster than ever before.
For our patients with rosacea, AFT is especially good news—the procedure shows an 80-90% improvement. Now, when you blush, you know it won’t last forever. AFT is also the only answer for the elimination of facial capillaries. With the newest AFT technology, not only will your skin tone even out, your skin will look more youthful and your pores smaller. And, the benefits are not reserved exclusively for your face. With AFT, we can target discoloration on any part of the body. The expert team at Aesthetic Elegance is experienced in using AFT on the neck, chest, back, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and posterior regions of our patients. Anywhere you have unwanted red or brown pigment… consider it gone.
Dr. Prewitt Says:
Freckles are “cute” when we are young. With time, however, pigments in the skin work against us. Brown and red marks age particularly poorly—they can even make us look older…and nobody wants that. Take away the reds and browns and make way for a younger and healthier looking you.
