RED VEIN ROSACEA VASCULAR IPL TREATMENT PLAN

 

Red Vein and Roseacea and other vascular conditions can be treated with IPL because the redness of the blood inside a vein absorbs the light and heats up. IPL uses the white light to coagulate the blood within the vein. The heated or coagulated blood is then absorbed over the next few weeks and disappears. IPL causes the capillary to heat to approximately 50-60 degrees centigrade which like diathermy kills the tiny capillary and the waste is slowly absorbed into the body. Roseacea responds very well to IPL.

Images Beauty Therapy is able to offer a treatment, which will reduce facial vascular blemishes like the fine thread-like vessels found on cheeks and around the nose. Also general diffuse redness can be significantly reduced.

The heat generated by the intense light coagulates the blood within the tiny vessels, closing them off, and then the skins repair- cells must remove the debris.

Results will vary, occasionally minimal results may be obtained, but most people will see a significant improvement in the condition.

Often at least 4 sessions are needed in an area to obtain optimal results. Sometimes only a few. Treatments should be 4 to 6 weeks apart. You may need to come in to the clinic for periodic assessment between treatments.

Treatment of the full face is usually performed in stages rather than the whole face in a single session. Your technician will advise on how to best treat the area.

If Veins are too big Images offers an alternative treatment of Diathermy Electrolysis which is very effective for more obvious veins. A combination of both treatments may be advised.
