SKIN TREATMENTS · MOTI NAGAR, DELHI NCR
A photofacial uses controlled pulses of light to work on uneven skin tone, sun-related marks and visible redness. At UK's Derma in Moti Nagar, Delhi, it is offered only after a specialist has examined your skin and confirmed that it suits you.
In short: A photofacial is a light-based skin session, not a one-size-fits-all facial. Your skin type, recent sun exposure and medical history decide whether it is suitable, how many sessions are planned and what result is realistic. All of this is explained at an in-person consultation.
A photofacial is a non-surgical, in-clinic session in which a light-based device delivers short pulses of light to the skin. The light is absorbed by pigment and by small blood vessels near the surface, which is why the treatment is discussed for tone and colour concerns rather than for deep wrinkles or scars.
It is usually described as skin rejuvenation. It does not replace sunscreen or a medical treatment plan, and it is one option among several that a dermatologist may consider for your skin.
If your concern is deeper or hormonal pigmentation such as melasma, light-based treatment may not be the right first step. We would discuss this on our pigmentation treatment page and in your consultation.
The specialist checks your skin type, tan level, any medicines you use and whether you have recently been in strong sun. Light-based devices need settings matched to the individual, and on Indian skin tones the risk of dark marks after treatment is taken seriously, so a test area or a cautious start may be advised.
On the day, the skin is cleansed, eye protection is provided and the light is applied in passes over the treatment area. Most people describe a warm snapping sensation. The specialist explains what to expect before beginning.
Mild redness or warmth is common and usually settles within a short time, but this varies. Pigmented spots may look darker before they fade. Results build over a series of sessions rather than appearing at once, and the number of sessions is set after assessment, not promised in advance.
FAQ
No. Recent tanning, certain medicines, some skin conditions and pregnancy can make it unsuitable or mean it should be delayed. Your specialist checks this before recommending it.
This depends on your skin and goals. The specialist explains a realistic plan after examining your skin rather than quoting a fixed number in advance.
Most people feel a brief warm or snapping sensation. Comfort levels differ, and the specialist can adjust the approach.
Melasma is sensitive to heat and light, so it is assessed carefully. Your dermatologist will tell you whether a photofacial is appropriate or whether another plan is safer.
