Vascular laser treatment is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure that uses high-intensity pulses of light to target and treat vascular lesions such as spider veins, broken capillaries, and rosacea. It is especially beneficial for individuals with superficial broken capillaries, which are often found on the nose and cheeks. These issues can be exacerbated by factors such as weather conditions, excessive alcohol consumption, and inadequate skincare or SPF protection.
Before your treatment, a patch test will be performed to ensure your skin is ready for laser therapy. Skin requiring vascular treatment often displays varying shades of pink to red, and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment can significantly reduce skin redness. The light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels in the skin, causing them to heat up and collapse. Over time, these treated vessels are naturally absorbed by the body, resulting in clearer and more even-toned skin.
Since each patient’s needs are unique, so is the treatment plan. We recommend scheduling an initial consultation at the clinic to evaluate your condition and discuss the most effective treatment options tailored to your specific needs.
Light therapy offers several notable benefits. Its non-invasive nature means that it does not require needles or surgery, making it a comfortable and convenient option for many patients. Additionally, most individuals experience minimal downtime, allowing them to return to their daily activities almost immediately after the procedure.
The advanced IPL technology we use ensures precision and safety, with minimal impact on surrounding tissues. Over time, patients can expect a gradual improvement in their skin’s appearance as the treated vessels are naturally absorbed by the body.
Please avoid sunbathing or using tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. Also discontinue the use of retinoids and other exfoliating products a week prior to your appointment. During your initial consultation, be sure to inform us of any medications or skin conditions you may have. Your patch test will have been completed beforehand, ensuring that you are safe and ready for treatment.
Upon your arrival, we will ensure you are well cared for and your skin is properly prepared. During the treatment, you may experience mild stinging similar to a gentle ping on your skin. While some veins may vanish immediately, others might require more time to fully disappear. Throughout the procedure, we will monitor your comfort and cool your skin as needed.
Avoid using retinol, and steer clear of sunbeds and sun exposure post treatment. It is of the utmost importance to take good care of your skin after any IPL procedure.
It can significantly reduce the appearance of blood vessels, and with the right number of treatments, there is potential for these vessels to be completely eliminated. The effectiveness depends on various factors, including the severity of the vascular issues and individual response to the treatment. Each session targets the blood vessels, progressively diminishing their visibility until they may eventually be removed entirely.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments can cause varying levels of discomfort depending on your skin sensitivity, the specific area being treated, and the settings used during the procedure. Many people describe the sensation as a series of quick, mild snaps , however the discomfort is usually brief and tends to subside quickly. To minimise discomfort, practitioners often use cooling methods before, during, or after the treatment.
The timeline for seeing results from IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments can vary depending on what you’re treating and your individual skin response. Generally, many people start to notice improvements within 2 to 3 weeks after their first session. For optimal results, a series of minimum 3 treatments is often recommended, usually spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
