Crystalite facial

Before any treatment, you will meet with your Doctor or the Cosmetic Nurse Practitioner for a consultation to discuss whether this is the right procedure for you. Your Doctor/Nurse will take a medical history and will ask specific questions. It is important to notify your Doctor/Nurse if you are pregnant, if you are trying to become pregnant, if you are breastfeeding and also if you are taking any medications. Your Doctor/Nurse will also discuss with you your motivations and expectations. It will be explained what Crystalite Light Technology can and can't do for you and what type of results you can expect. Your photograph will be taken from different angles. These photographs are valuable for before and after assessments and long-term reviews.

The patient will lie comfortably wearing special protective goggles. He/she will be placed under a specific light panel for 25-30 minutes initially, building up to 45-60 mins depending on skin type and condition. Darker skin types will be treated for shorter periods of time to reduce the risk of hyper-pigmentation. For the first month the recommended treatment is twice a week and then it can be taken to once a week for the next 4weeks. As light therapies create free radicals, patients are asked to cease using topical anti-oxidant creams on their skin for the course of the treatments, as they will prevent maximum benefit.
