There is no downtime which allows you to return to normal daily activities immediately.
It is appropriate for people with a more even skin tone and show mild to moderate signs of aging.
IPL for Red Veins
Red veins or broken veins are superficial veins that can occur on the nose and cheeks. They can be effectively and safely treated with IPL and are often erased after just one treatment. Multiple treatments are recommended for maximum results.
During treatment, a cooling gel is applied to the area to enhance the absorption of light. Protective eyewear is also given.
The pulse light/laser energy penetrates the vessels and generates heat, resulting in blood coagulation and vessel wall damage. This leads to the collapse of the blood vessels.
IPL is an incredibly calming treatment for the reduction of Acne. The IPL triggers a biochemical response that eradicates the acne causing bacteria in the pores, reducing the redness and pigmentation.
