IPL for Rosacea
Medical-grade Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a safe but powerful tool in managing and alleviating the symptoms of rosacea Book Online
How does IPL treat rosacea?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy uses concentrated, powerful light to target specific skin concerns. In the case of rosacea, light penetrates the skin where it is absorbed by the blood vessels and pigmented areas causing them to break down and be reabsorbed by the body. While rosacea cannot be ‘cured’, IPL can significantly manage and reduce the symptoms and bring about clearer, more even-toned skin.
Technology to Transform: it’s not magic, it’s science
Our Excelight IPL technology is provided by Lynton Lasers – the UK’s leading provider to the NHS and private healthcare facilities. Many doctors, dermatologists and aestheticians regard Lynton’s IPL to be the best in the industry.
Reduce Redness and Flushing
IPL specifically targets the dilated blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface responsible for persistent redness. The light energy heats these vessels causing them to collapse, resulting in a significant reduction in redness and flushing, leaving you with a more calm and even skin tone.
Decrease Visible Blood Vessels
Rosacea causes small blood vessels (telangiectasia) to become visible on the face. IPL diminishes these blood vessels by coagulating them, leading to their reabsorption by the body. This not only improves the appearance of the skin but also reduces the likelihood of future flare-ups.
Rejuvenate Skin Texture
IPL also stimulates collagen production, which enhances the overall texture and elasticity of the skin. This is particularly beneficial for rosacea patients who may have rough or uneven skin due to repeated inflammation.
Pigmented Lesions
In addition to redness, rosacea can cause hyperpigmentation. IPL’s multiple wavelengths can also target these pigmented areas, breaking down the excess melanin, giving a more uniform skin tone.
Next Steps & How to Book
Before any IPL treatment commences you will need a 30 minute skin consultation and patch text to ensure we create the optimum treatment protocol for your skin type and desired result. This will also give you a chance to discuss any questions or concerns. The consultation costs £30 but this is fully redeemable against your IPL treatment. You can book online, or by phone (07881 958093) and email (amy@massagetherapy-brighton.co.uk)
