Thread Veins? Rosacea? ..... Treat with IPL

Do you suffer with red veins/broken capillaries?

 

Do you have a redness to your skin? Or possibly suffer from rosacea?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a simple yet effective treatment that can successfully treat these skin concerns amongst many others!

The treatment consists of emitting 'intense white light' delivered through a range of specific wave lengths to target specific concerns. The desired effect is commonly achieved through as little as 3 treatments.

Treating Thread Veins

Thread veins are extremely common as well is the misconception that they cannot be treated.

The vessels are targeted by the IPL, the blood within the vessel (or more specifically the haemoglobin) absorb the light energy. Once this light energy has been absorbs it stimulates thermal damage to the vessel, this damage forces coagulation and destroys the vessel. The damaged vessel is then reabsorbed into the body.

The breakdown of the vessel is different in each patient, some vessels disappear immediately post treatment, some take several weeks and some take several treatments.

The treatment is relatively quick but can be slightly uncomfortable, however the discomfort is only felt for a second in each area. This sneak peak shows a patient receiving the treatment.

Follow The Light

Over the past year we have introduced LED light therapy intoour clinic, and we now use it after almost every treatment. After testingseveral different machines we decided to purchase a machine from Dermalux, adecision that we are very pleased with.

So what is LED light therapy? All my clients ask me this ontheir first treatment and then the results speak for themselves....

 

 

 

LED light therapy is a non-thermal, non-invasive lightsystem that increases cell renewal, rejuvenates the skin, reducesinflammation, kills bacteria and prevents acne breakouts. And all you haveto do is lay under it!!

The narrow band light has the ability to penetrate the skinwhere it is then converted and used as energy, this energy is then used toaccelerate the cell renewal process increasing mitosis and resulting in morehealthy skin cells. This process is very similar to the photosynthesis thatoccurs in plants.

Although this is a light treatment it is not inthe damaging form of UV, therefor it will not cause any type of damage to theskin (or eyes) it will only have beneficial effects.

The LED light that we use comes in 2 colours red and blue,they can be used individually to target specific skin concerns or can be usedin combination to achieve the desired results.

I would encourage everyone no matter what age, skin type orconcern to try LED light therapy. It may be a treatment that works for you onits own or you might combine it with others such as facials, microdermabrasion,peels, resurfacers, dermaroller or laser treatments.
