Rosacea / Facial Redness
- By using IPL & absorbing superficial blood vessels in the skin, this treatment can be used to diffuse redness and high colour.
- Best results on skin type 1-3
- For optimum results 3-6 treatments are needed at 4 week intervals
- Top up treatments may be needed in the future to maintain these results
Vascular lesions/thread veins
- Using the light source, vascular lesions (thread veins) are broken down by coagulating the blood vessels, diffusing redness to the skin.
- 2-4 treatments are generally necessary to remove thread veins; however this will depend on size and severity of the veins.
- Depending on location & size of vein, a method of advanced electrolysis to cauterize the blood vessels may also be used to remove thread veins.
To benefit from these treatments it is important to take note of our treatment advice & aftercare
