SCRIPT:

Karen Smith, Patient: "I saw the picture of my first trip here before, I was horrified."

Darcie Fisher: THIS IS WHAT 39 YEAR OLD KAREN SMITH'S SKIN LOOKED LIKE JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. KAREN HAS ROSACEA.... AND SAYS SHE'S FINALLY FOUND A TREATMENT THAT WORKS. IT'S CALLED A PHOTO FACIAL. THIS MACHINE EMITS BEAMS OF LIGHT TARGETING BOTH THE SURFACE AND INNER LAYERS OF YOUR SKIN.

Kelly Cirafice, Essentially Bare Laser Clinic: "Unlike a laser, which is one beam of light, this can actually enter your skin at different levels, so it's a multi-tasker if you will."

Darcie Fisher: THE LIGHT IS ABSORBED IN THE PIGMENT OF SKIN LESIONS. THAT LIGHT HEATS UP THE PIGMENT AND BREAKS IT UP. WHILE SOME PATIENTS DO SEE SOME IMPROVEMENT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, IT TAKES ABOUT 48 HOURS TO SEE THE BEST RESULTS. SO WE CAME BACK 2 DAYS LATER TO SEE HOW KAREN'S SKIN LOOKED. ON THE LEFT YOU SEE KAREN'S SKIN BEFORE TREATMENTS. AND ON THE RIGHT, WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE AFTER 5 TREATMENTS. PHOTO FACIALS AREN'T JUST FOR PROBLEMS LIKE ROSACEA. CHECK OUT THESE BEFORE AND AFTERS. HERE YOU SEE HOW A SPIDER VEIN DISAPPEARED AFTER TREATMENT. AND HERE, AFTER SEVERAL TREATMENTS THIS WOMAN'S SUN SPOTS HAVE BEEN ALMOST ERASED. KAREN SAYS, FOR THE FIRST TIME, PEOPLE ARE NOTICING HER FACE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS....LIKE THE TIME SHE LUNCHED WITH A FRIEND JUST AN HOUR AFTER HER FIRST TREATMENT.

Karen Smith, Patient: "She said to me, what did you do to your skin? And I said, why is it all red? And she said no, it looks great... I couldn't... i've never had a compliment on my skin."

Darcie Fisher: LEAVING KAREN READY TO FACE THE WORLD. FOR HEALTHWATCH, DARCIE FISHER, THE TEN O'CLOCK NEWS.
