Rosacea
get control
People with rosacea often find they suffer from facial thread veins as the skin is red and flushed. Red veins and red flushing can be a cause of real concern and distress. Unfortunately, rosacea is a chronic condition, however, with our medical grade IPL/laser treatment, we can create a personalised treatment plan to help get your rosacea under control.
There are a variety of triggers for rosacea which can include alcohol, exercise, high and low temperatures, hot drinks, spicy foods, stress and sun exposure.

Frequently asked questions
What should I expect during treatment?
To begin the treatment, we will cleanse away any makeup or skincare and apply a cold gel on the area to be treated. The handpiece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of light are applied to the skin’s surface in gradient movements.
Protective eyewear will be supplied.
How does intense pulsed light (IPL) work on rosacea?
People with Rosacea have many facial thread veins which dilate to certain stimuli (eg hot bath or spicy food) and stay open for longer periods of time compared to non-Rosacea sufferers. These thread veins have weaker walls and therefore do not function properly.
Intense Pulsed Light treatment has been shown to be very effective in the treatment of Rosacea. It works by a process called photothermolysis. This light therapy selectively destroys the abnormal vessels (thread veins) that cause the Rosacea effect, allowing thicker walled micro vessels to be laid down.
How many treatments will I need?
This will vary from person to person depending on the severity of the condition, but it can be anywhere between 3 to 12 treatments for best results.
Is there any recovery time?
Recovery typically take between 24-48 hours.
