IPL Rosacea Treatment
Does your face turn red just after you sip one glass of wine? Are you getting abnormal inflammation even after enjoying a good shower?
Rosacea seems to be a condition that appears immediately after you are exposed to a reaction. It is pretty similar to sunburn and may show up as a red face. This condition affects nearly 10% of adults and is quite common between the ages of 30 and 60. It may have a negative impact on your professional and social life.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) offers a practical solution which uses targeted light to reduce inflammation and restore the skin’s natural appearance over time in a gentle manner – providing long-lasting relief.

The Procedure
-
Prior To Treatment
Patients should avoid sun exposure and sunbeds for four weeks prior to the IPL Rosacea Light Treatment, as this could cause issues with the IPL light’s ability to target darker skin pigmentation. Should you be on any medication that could affect skin photo sensitivity, such as antibiotics, it is imperative that you inform your health care provider ahead of time and stop the medication (upon the advice of a medical professional). Patients should avoid Retinoids and Vitamin C, which increase skin sensitivity. Speak to your doctor prior to stopping any medication.
-
Treatment
After cleansing the skin, a thin layer of IPL gel is applied to the area. Your IPL Practitioner will use a handheld device to deliver IPL light therapy to the areas affected by Rosacea. During the procedure, you may feel a slight pinching sensation, or warm feeling.
-
What To Expect
After the treatment the treated area will look slightly red or pink. This usually lasts for around 6 to 8 hours. Patients may also experience a warm sensation on the skin the following day. This feeling is described as like having a mild sunburn. There are cooling solutions available to fight the symptom, such as a cool pack.

After Treatment
It is advised to avoid makeup for the first 24 hours. It is also always advised to avoid direct sun exposure or sunbeds after any laser treatment, for a minimum of 2 - 4 weeks. Patients are advised to use an SPF of 30/50 every day and reapply where possible. Should you be in direct sunlight, ensure you take precautions, such as a hat and sun protection cream. Patients should avoid anything that could create heat for 48 hours after treatment, such as saunas and gyms.
