"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Clinical studies demonstrate that photofacials are highly effective for sun damage and age spots, with 70-90% improvement rates in pigmented lesions after a complete treatment series. Most patients see initial darkening of spots within 24-48 hours, followed by natural exfoliation over 7-14 days. Optimal results typically appear after 3-5 sessions, with continued improvement for several months as collagen remodeling occurs.",

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Photofacial costs typically range from $300-600 per session depending on geographic location, provider credentials, and treatment area size. Most patients require 3-5 sessions for optimal results, bringing total investment to $1,200-2,500. Many practices offer package pricing with 15-20% discounts and financing options including CareCredit or similar medical payment plans to make treatment more accessible.",

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Photofacials involve minimal downtime with most patients experiencing only mild redness lasting 1-24 hours and possible temporary darkening of treated spots. Makeup can typically be applied immediately after treatment. Rare side effects include temporary swelling, blistering, or pigmentation changes, which are minimized through proper patient screening and treatment protocols by qualified practitioners.",

"@type": "Question",
"name": "How long do photofacial results last and when will I see improvement?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Initial improvements appear within 1-2 weeks as treated pigmented lesions naturally exfoliate, with optimal results developing over 8-12 weeks as collagen remodeling occurs. Results typically last 1-3 years depending on sun protection habits, skincare routine, and natural aging processes. Maintenance treatments every 12-18 months help preserve and enhance long-term outcomes.",

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Good photofacial candidates include individuals with sun damage, age spots, mild rosacea, broken capillaries, or general photoaging concerns, particularly those with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations, can commit to sun protection, and are not pregnant or taking photosensitizing medications. A thorough consultation with a qualified practitioner determines individual suitability and expected outcomes.",
