IPL Treatment for Rosacea can be highly effective. Many people are incorrectly diagnosed with Rosacea, when instead they have Thread Veins or Broken Capillaries. A common theory for the cause of Acne Rosacea is a naturally occurring mite that lives on the skin. The bacteria from this mite causes inflammation. IPL is used on Rosacea for its antibacterial benefits and reduction of redness. Through a combination of IPL and anti-inflammatory skincare products, Rosacea can be successfully managed, and the natural protective barrier on the skin can be restored.
All IPL treatments for Rosacea require a test patch and consultation seven days prior to treatment, to help confirm suitability for the treatment. Depending on the area being treated, the duration of the treatment can vary from 10 – 45 minutes. The area that has been treated may be red when leaving the clinic, and this redness may last for a couple of days. Mineral makeup can be applied the following day.
Typically, three treatments are recommended to see a result. Many people see thread veins disappear completely, while others see a reduction. There are a small number of people who do not see a result from treatment. It is important to remember that vessels can return, or new vessels may develop, so maintenance treatments may be necessary.
Times range from 20 – 45 minutes
Results can be seen instantly, however the final result will be seen after the cell renewal cycle of 28 days. We recommend you repeat treatment every 4 weeks.
