Who should not receive a PhotoFacial?

Steve Fallek (Plastic Surgeon and Medical Director, Face Focus Medical Spa) gives expert video advice on: Who should not receive a PhotoFacial?; How does a PhotoFacial treat Rosacea?; What results can I expect from a PhotoFacial treatment? and more...

I always feel that it's important before a patient has a PhotoFacial or any treatment with an IPL machine, that a doctor examines them. There are certain patients where they have darker skin, whether they're African-American or have any type of dark skin, where a PhotoFacial may lead to either lightening or darkening of their skin. So it's very important that a doctor evaluate a patient's skin type before they have any IPL treatment.
