You’ve probably heard the term Fotofacial®, but what is it exactly and what can it REALLY do for you? Fotofacial, a non-invasive treatment created by well-known dermatologist, Dr. Patrick Bitter Jr, MD, uses broadband light (BBL) – a trademarked powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) – to address problematic skin.

With the onset of cooler weather, NOW is the time to start thinking about laser treatments, as well as BBL and IPL procedures. Summer heat and direct sun exposure can contribute to the inflammation of post-procedure skin, causing hyperpigmentation and skin discoloration. To avoid this possible side effect after treatment, our aesthetic professionals generally do not recommend the Forever Young Fotofacial during the Austin summer season.
