The AFA program can accelerate and enhance the results of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments, especially those directed at problematic pigmentation from sun damage. Because of AFA's powerful exfoliation, the results of the IPL treatments appear faster. And because AFA has remarkably low irritation it will not challenge patient compliance.

The AFA program minimizes some of the drawbacks seen between treatments of an IPL series such as temporarily darkened pigmentation or “pepper flaking”. While these side effects will resolve on their own, use of the AFA program can help accelerate the resolution, thereby increasing patient satisfaction. In addition, the AFA peels and Daily Rejuvenation products will not negatively impact positive results for IPL treatment of telangectasia the way the vacuum of microdermabrasion might.

While other treatments may provide variable results when applied to patients of similar skin types, AFA will provide more consistent treatments for patients. This allows you to utilize AFA treatments with confidence that you will not compromise the patient's skin or compliance, especially following IPL treatments.

The AFA Advanced Treatment Body Lotion is ideal for use between IPL body treatments to help increase the exfoliation of the skin and enhance the results of the IPL treatments.

Patients who undergo Radio Frequency (RF) treatments are seeking tighter, wrinkle-free, younger-looking skin. While RF treatments target deeper, dermal wrinkling, AFA complements that by improving skin's surface appearance, helping the patient look and feel younger and healthier, thereby accelerating the visible results of the RF treatment.

AFA provides powerful exfoliation, leaving patients with softer, more radiant skin than they would see with RF Treatment alone. And AFA will not irritate patient's skin like other, more outdated technology, so it will not in any way increase the discomfort often associated with RF Treatments. By using AFA instead of other exfoliants, you will minimize downtime and increase patient compliance. AFA and RF in combination will leave patients with radiant, tighter skin.

The AFA program enhances and accelerates patient results with microdermabrasion without compromising compliance the way that outdated, more irritating choices might. This is an important feature as microdermabrasion can easily make skin susceptible to irritation, depending on the level of microdermabrasion treatment. AFA provides powerful exfoliation with minimal irritation leaving patients with softer, younger looking skin than with microdermabrasion alone.  

In some cases, patients with pigmentary problems have experienced better results in dermal rejuvenation by alternating microdermabrasion with AFA superficial peels, versus microdermabrasion alone. Continued use of the AFA program upon completion of microdermabrasion treatments will help to maintain the results achieved from the procedure much longer.

Fractional Laser is an extraordinarily effective treatment option for rejuvenating both the epidermis and dermis. Initially, many offices thought this treatment option could replace chemical peels and at-home exfoliation treatments, but it was soon discovered that chemical exfoliation and stimulation worked synergistically with Fractional Lasers, enhancing the results. With older chemical technologies, however, the level of discomfort in combining the two often lead to patient dissatisfaction.  

The AFA Daily Rejuvenation program offers powerful exfoliation with minimal irritation, making it ideal to use between Fractional Laser Treatments depending on the time between treatments, patient tolerance and treatment protocols. Following any Fractional Laser Treatment, the patient should wait for any erythema to subside before using the AFA Exfoliating Gels. The AFA Cream Cleanser and AFA Moisturizers can be used immediately.  

Patients typically experience a bronzing of their skin with Fractional Laser Treatments. Use of AFA between treatments may accelerate resolution of the bronzing experienced by patients, enhancing the patient experience.  

Once the series of Fractional Laser Treatments is completed and the skin has completely healed, the AFA in- office peel program can be used to maintain the treatment results as it will not irritate or dry out the patient's already sensitive skin. Naturally, the Daily Rejuvenation program should continue through series of peels and beyond.

Botox treatments can dramatically improve the appearance of deeper wrinkles of the face, such as frown lines along the brow. While treating these lines will help make the patient look younger, treating the dull surface appearance will also help keep skin looking young and radiant. AFA can easily be combined with Botox Treatments to give patients softer, healthier looking skin.  

The AFA program provides surface rejuvenation with minimal irritation around the Botox injection sites. While older technologies can irritate these sensitive areas, AFA will not compromise patients' skin rejuvenation goals. Patients will have visible improvement to skin's tone and texture using the AFA program with their Botox treatment.

The use of the AFA program in combination with filler treatments will address both the deep set wrinkles and dull surface appearance of the skin, giving patients the softer, younger looking skin they desire. The advances with longer lasting, less reactive fillers have dramatically changed the aesthetic approach to deeper lines of the face. Optimal aesthetic results and patient satisfaction come from addressing the surface aging of the skin along with the deeper wrinkles. AFA is the ideal skin rejuvenation program to use in combination with any filler treatment as it provides this surface rejuvenation while minimizing the risk of irritation and complications around the injections sites.
