ROSACEA IPL TREATMENT

ROSACEA IPL TREATMENT

Rosacea is a medical condition where the veins in the face enlarge giving the face a red appearance. It typically begins after the age of thirty, though it can start before, as redness on the cheeks nose, chin or forehead which at first will just come and go but as time passes the redness tends to get darker and more chronic. Left untreated veins to start to become visible, bumps and pimples start to develop and in more severe cases the nose can become swollen and bumpy and the eyes irritated, watery and bloodshot.

There is no known medical cure for the condition at this time so treatments available are tackling the symptoms or making lifestyle changes to cut down on the causes of rosacea flare ups. Here at faces Clinic, we do both of these things with our IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment for the symptoms. This is what makes us so different from other clinics out there and our treatment so effective.

IPL treatments for rosacea work like this: The IPL device emits a range of light waves which are precisely calibrated to target the hemoglobin in your blood vessels. These light beams pass through your skin and are absorbed by the hemoglobin resulting in damage to the blood vessel wall. This controlled injury to the blood vessels triggers the body’s natural response to break down and remove the damaged tissue. New cells then replace the problem area with clearer, better-looking skin.

Rosacea Treatments work on:

  • Facial redness
  • Bumps and pimples
  • Lifestyle Causes
  • Dietary Causes
  • Men and women
  • Suitable for fair skin types

It would be useful if you arrive with no makeup on. We apply a cold gel on the area to be treated. Dark glasses are also provided to protect your eyes from the bright light. The hand piece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of light are applied. the feeling of the light being applied has frequently been described as a slight sting and sometimes even as having a small rubber band flicked at your skin

During treatment, the glass surface of the IPL hand piece is gently applied to the skin. Light is delivered to the skin surface in gradient movements. IPL treats the damaged superficial layer of the skin while delivering thermal energy to deeper tissue. Clinical studies are now available to measure the effect this energy has on collagen production, which helps firm and tightens the skin

  • Why are multiple Rosacea treatments necessary?

Depending on the number of conditions you are treating, and severity of the individual problem, a series of four to six treatment sessions may be recommended every 3 weeks. You can return to work the same day and resume all your regular activities.
