"Hi my name is Mary Thinnes and I am a skin care expert. We are going to talk about photo facial which a treatment that is done by a licensed professional in a facility. With photo facials they are a type of laser and basically as you can tell we are both wearing goggles because it actually can destroy the retina. You want to be careful and not look into the lens of a laser. Photo facials are really good for a hyper-pigmented skin. This is definitely a laser that I would recommend for hyper-pigmented skin. There are other lasers out there that are classified as hot lasers. Photo facials are cold lasers so they are going to be uncomfortable and it actually feels like someone is snapping the skin. Keep that in mind that it is a treatment that is not going to be definitely for comfort but it is going to help with damaged, sun damaged and hyper-pigmented skin. With that being said, this is photo facials."
