IPL Vascular Treatment
Spider veins, broken capillaries, red spots and rosacea can all be reduced and removed to offer clients an even, more uniform complexion.
What is IPL Vascular Treatment?
IPL Vascular treatment is a non-ablative procedure that uses intense pulsed light to target haemoglobin in the skin; heating and damaging unwanted vessels. Damaged vessels are then removed either via the lymphatic system, resulting in a more even skin tone. Typically, this treatment is used to spot treat vascular lesions of the face and upper body.
Indications
RF can effectively treat the entire body depending on your skin concern.
Superficial red capillaries on the face and decolletage (telangiectasias)
Cherry angiomas form the waist up
How many treatments will I need?
This will vary depending on the severity of your skin concern. Some may require a single treatment, while others will require ongoing treatments to achieve the best possible results. Your clinician will discuss the expected number of treatments, along with expected results during your consultation.
Depending on the extent your skin concern, typically, 2-4 treatments are recommended at 1-2 weeks intervals, with maintenance treatments recommended every 3-6 months.
Can I get on with my day after treatment?
No. Unlike other skin-corrective treatments, IPL Vascular treatment has minimal downtime, so you are free to get on with your day as usual. Some temporary redness may occur, but this will pass soon enough. We will advise you on the necessary post-treatment care to follow during your session.
Is it painful?
No, you will feel a sensation throughout the treatment but it is not painful. We will take care to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
Are the results long lasting?
Most clients enjoy long-lasting results following their IPL skin rejuvenation program. To ensure optimal skin health and clarity for the long run, a maintenance treatment can be performed if necessary.
What is IPL skin rejuvenation?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) skin rejuvenation is a light-based aesthetic treatment that actively targets and reduces skin irregularities to promote a clearer, younger and healthier complexion.
How does it work?
PL works by applying rapid light pulses of variable wavelengths to the treatment area. The light is absorbed by the targeted chromophores (such as melanin in pigmentation or freckles). This light is then converted into heat energy which destroys the targeted area through controlled thermal damage, while ensuring surrounding healthy tissue remains untouched.
