Photofacial
Brighter, More Even Skin in Just a Few Sessions
A photofacial at NYA Med Spa uses intense pulsed light to target the "frustrations" that build up over time on your skin. Brown spots, sun damage, broken capillaries, redness, and uneven tone all respond beautifully to this kind of treatment.
The light passes through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment or vessels causing the issue, leaving the rest of your skin alone. Over the next week or two, those spots lift to the surface and flake away on their own, revealing clearer skin.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Photofacials are quick, typically around thirty minutes, once your skin is cleansed and ready. You will wear protective eyewear while the device delivers gentle pulses of light across the treatment area. This treatment is so gentle, it does not require topical numbing creme!
There is no real downtime. You may look slightly flushed afterward, and any dark spots being treated will look a little darker for a few days before they slough off. We typically recommend a series of three to five sessions about a month apart for the most striking change.

Why a photofacial is one of the most loved treatments at NYA Med Spa in Grand Rapids.

What does a photofacial feel like?
Most clients describe it as a quick pinch of warmth as each pulse is delivered. It is very tolerable with no numbing needed.
How long until I see results?
Broken capillaries improve instantly, then continue to improve over the following days. Skin texture also improves immediately, then continues to improve over the next several days.
Is there any downtime?
There is no real downtime. You can even wear makeup the next day. Your skin may look slightly flushed for a few hours after the appointment.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients see beautiful results after the first one or two sessions, however the most dramatic improvements are the result of a series of three to five sessions spaced about four weeks apart, then periodic maintenance.
