Facials have undergone one hell of a transformation and are now not limited to the exfoliation, steam and mask process. Cosmetology and Dermatology has taken it a few notches higher and implemented non-invasive machines and laser that work on the skin so you get long lasting results and luminous skin. Although, I wouldn’t recommend that you just hop into a clinic and book yourself one of these before having a consult and going over your concerns with your doctors.

As many of you know, I have been travelling a lot and the erratic sleep schedules, change in weather, multiple long haul flights on aircrafts has wreaked havoc on my skin. I went in for a consult with DrKiranLohia and she walked me through the different facial treatments she had at Lumiere Dermatology. We finally decided on the AFT Photofacial because it would be ideal for lackluster skin with sun damage.

Put simply, the AFT Photofacial means saying goodbye to expensive foundations, bases and creams. Imagine not having to schedule a facial every month and doing away with exorbitantly priced face creams, concealers and serums. With the AFT Photofacial, you can enjoy a radiant and luminous complexion that is even, healthy and blemish free after just a few sessions. There are plenty of Photofacials but this one stands out because it is fused with AFT or Advanced Fluorescent Technology. It works particularly well on rosacea, redness, spider vains and acne and unsightly marks.

I lay down on the bed and the facialist started to explain the entire process to me. She held my hand (quite literally) and allayed all my fears before she began the treatment. They brought in a photographer who took pictures before and after the session to show me the results after just one sitting. I closed my eyes and lay down and then she placed protective eye gear around my eyes. I also had hormonal acne on my chin and face that had been troubling me but both DrKiranLohia and my facial therapist made sure that the scarring would go away in the first 3 sessions or so.
I spent my time asking questions and didn’t realize that the treatment was up and over so quickly. It did feel hot to touch and my skin did get red and sensitive but it was better after she massaged moisturizer and sunscreen onto my face. I looked at myself in the mirror and gave her a big hug because although one session isn’t nearly enough- I was so happy to see that my skin looked healthier and more even. My acne scars were visibly reduced and it’s been two months since the treatment and people are still raving about the way my face looks. I am proud to say that I’ve started to take better care of my skin and have done away with any concealers and expensive serums. I prefer to use natural, organic, plant based cosmetics that are hypo-allergenic and kind to the skin and environment. I plan to go in for my second session before the Christmas break and cant wait to share the pictures with you. Please feel free to write in with any questions you might have and I would be happy to share my experience.

Verdict- I didn’t feel any discomfort post the session although I must admit that the temperature did get a little hot and my skin became sensitive to touch. The facial therapist stopped every time I got uncomfortable and would cool the area before starting again. She applied sunscreen liberally on my face and neck, particularly under the eyes because the skin there is most prone to sun damage and pigmentation. It requires absolutely no downtime and doesn’t take more than 15-20 minutes so you can sneak in an appointment even on weekdays and walk out feeling and looking fabulous. Do I recommend it? Absolutely. If you’ve been plagued with rosacea, freckles and age spots for as long as you can remember- this will make a noticeable difference to your face in just one session.
