IPL Rosacea and Vascular Treatment
We understand the impact that conditions like rosacea, diffused redness, and facial telangiectasias can have on your confidence and overall well-being.
What is an IPL-Vascular treatment?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) vascular treatment is a non-invasive procedure designed to treat various vascular conditions such as spider veins, broken capillaries, and rosacea. IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target and heat the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, resulting in clearer, more even-toned skin.
Benefits
Treats Broken Capillaries:
Minimizes the visibility of broken capillaries, giving the skin a more uniform appearance.
Improves Rosacea Symptoms:
Reduces redness and inflammation associated with rosacea.
Non-Invasive:
No needles or incisions are required, making it a comfortable treatment option.
Quick Recovery:
Minimal downtime allows you to resume daily activities shortly after the procedure.
Treatment process
Consultation:
A thorough consultation with our experienced dermatologists to evaluate your skin condition and determine if IPL vascular treatment is suitable for you.
Preparation:
Your skin will be cleansed, and a cooling gel may be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
IPL Treatment: The IPL device is passed over the affected areas, delivering pulses of light that target and treat the blood vessels.
Post-Treatment Care: Soothing products are applied after the treatment, and you will receive aftercare instructions to optimize healing and results.
What to expect after the treatment
Immediate Effects:
Mild redness and swelling are common immediately after the treatment and usually subside within a few hours to a day.

Recent Tanning:
Individuals with recent sun exposure or tanning should wait until their tan fades to avoid complications.
