A broadband light (BBL) photofacial could help alleviate these issues in a gentle, non-invasive outpatient procedure.
Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald wants her Beverly Hills, Larchmont, and Los Angeles BBL photofacial patients to get the most out of their treatment, so they can once again have skin they’re proud to show off. With that in mind, here’s a guide to photofacial aftercare to help you maximize your results.
