Achieve glowing, youthful skin with Photofabulous™, an innovative skin rejuvenation treatment available exclusively at Prime Aesthetics. Combining advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy with the ResurFX™ fractional laser, Photofabulous™ targets a variety of skin concerns — from pigmentation and redness to fine lines and acne scars — delivering visible improvements and a radiant complexion. In this detailed guide, you’ll learn everything about the Photofabulous™ experience, including how it works, who it’s for, what results you can expect, and why Prime Aesthetics’ expert approach makes all the difference.
What is Photofabulous™ and How Does it Work?
Photofabulous™ is a dual-technology skin treatment that fuses IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and ResurFX™ fractional laser into a single session, maximizing results with minimal downtime. This innovative combination works on both surface and deeper skin layers.
- IPL Therapy uses broad-spectrum light pulses that selectively target pigmentation (sunspots, freckles, age spots), vascular lesions (redness, rosacea), and uneven skin tone. It breaks down excess melanin and reduces visible capillaries.
- ResurFX™ Laser is a non-ablative fractional laser that stimulates collagen and elastin production deep within the dermis without damaging the skin’s surface. This process tightens skin, smooths texture, and diminishes fine lines and scars.
Together, these technologies deliver comprehensive skin rejuvenation by addressing pigment issues, redness, texture irregularities, and signs of aging in a single, effective treatment.
Which Skin Concerns Can Photofabulous™ Treat?
At Prime Aesthetics, Photofabulous™ is a versatile solution for many common skin concerns:
- Sun Damage & Pigmentation: Age spots, sunspots, melasma, and freckles lighten visibly.
- Rosacea & Redness: IPL targets vascular lesions, reducing persistent redness and flushing.
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: ResurFX™ promotes collagen to smooth out early wrinkles.
- Acne Scars & Texture: Fractional laser resurfacing skin, softening scar appearance.
- Enlarged Pores: Increased collagen tightens pores and improves skin tone.
- Dullness & Uneven Skin Tone: The combined treatment restores radiance and clarity.
Patients with early signs of aging, uneven tone, or post-inflammatory pigmentation frequently see marked improvements, rejuvenating their complexion’s health and glow.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Photofabulous™?
Photofabulous™ suits most skin types but works best for:
- Light to Medium Skin Tones (Fitzpatrick I-IV)
- Individuals seeking non-invasive rejuvenation with minimal downtime
- Those wanting to reduce pigmentation, redness, or mild scarring
- People aiming to smooth fine lines and improve skin texture
However, it’s important to note:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding clients should wait to undergo treatment.
- Those with active skin infections or certain skin conditions (e.g., eczema flare-ups) require medical clearance.
- For darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick V-VI), Photofabulous™ is used cautiously due to pigmentation risks; alternative treatments tailored for deeper tones are recommended.
At Prime Aesthetics, every client receives a comprehensive skin assessment to confirm suitability and create a personalised treatment plan.
What to Expect During Your Photofabulous™ Treatment
Preparation Before Treatment
Before your session at Prime Aesthetics, we provide detailed guidance to optimise your results:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
- Discontinue use of photosensitive skincare ingredients like retinoids and exfoliants 5–7 days prior.
- Stay hydrated and maintain a gentle skincare routine.
The Treatment Process Step-by-Step
- Consultation & Skin Analysis: We assess your skin concerns, type, and tone using advanced diagnostic tools.
- Cleansing & Protection: The skin is cleansed thoroughly, and protective eye shields are applied.
- IPL Session: Pulses of light target pigmentation and redness, causing mild warmth and tingling sensations.
- ResurFX™ Laser Pass: Fractional laser delivers precise energy to stimulate collagen deep in the dermis.
- Cooling & Soothing: Post-treatment cooling reduces discomfort and redness.
Each session typically lasts 45–60 minutes. Most clients describe the experience as comfortable with minimal pain.
Aftercare: Supporting Your Skin’s Healing and Radiance
Proper aftercare is vital for optimal, lasting results:
- Avoid direct sunlight and wear SPF 50+ daily for at least 2 weeks.
- Use gentle, hydrating cleansers and moisturisers; avoid active ingredients (AHA/BHA, retinol) for 5–7 days.
- Expect mild redness, flushing, or slight flaking in the first 3–5 days—this is normal and part of the skin renewal process.
- Keep skin hydrated with serums or creams recommended by your specialist.
- Avoid heat exposure (sauna, hot showers) and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
Prime Aesthetics provides a tailored post-treatment kit to support your skin’s recovery and boost radiance.
Timeline: What Results Will You See, and When?
Timeframe | Expected Results |
Immediately | Mild redness and warm sensation; slight skin tightness |
3–5 Days | Pigmentation darkens and flakes away naturally |
1–2 Weeks | Noticeably smoother skin tone; reduced redness |
4–6 Weeks | Improved collagen production; firmer, plumper skin |
After 3–4 Sessions | Significant reduction in wrinkles, pigmentation, and scars |
Results build gradually over weeks and sessions as collagen remodelling continues beneath the surface.
How Many Sessions Are Recommended?
Most clients achieve optimal results after 3–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The number depends on individual concerns and skin condition. Prime Aesthetics specialists will tailor your treatment schedule and review progress regularly.
Following your initial sessions, maintenance treatments every 6–12 months help sustain results and skin health.
