Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment for Thread Veins and Rosacea

Skin vascular problems are very common. They no longer only concern sensitive skin and thin skin, but also occur in people with thick, oily skin. Most often we observe a tendency to erythema and dilate the vessels. The accumulation of dilated vessels is telangiectasia that arises as a result of improper care, but also as a result of hormonal changes, high blood pressure or genetic strain. The thread veins and rosacea treatment is available at both our Doncaster and Wirral clinics.

How does the treatment work?

Closing the blood vessels with the IPL technology is one of the most effective treatments for vascular skin. The light energy emitted then is absorbed by hemoglobin and converted into heat, while increasing the blood temperature. There is coagulation and damage to the capillary wall. The IPL technology allows for the treatment of surface vessels and those located deeper. The treatment is a very good in the case of shallow vascularized skin, sensitive and prone to erythema. It is also used to prevent rosacea.

The treatment takes about 20-30 minutes. We recommended 4-6 treatments in 3-4 weeks intervals.
