*How is IPL rosacea treatment carried out at Aspen Hair, Beauty and Laser clinic.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is a common treatment for rosacea, a skin condition that causes redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels on the face. IPL therapy uses a device that emits a range of light wavelengths to target the redness and blood vessels associated with rosacea.
The IPL device emits a series of high-intensity pulses of light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to shrink and collapse. This reduces the redness and flushing associated with rosacea.
During the IPL treatment, the patient's eyes are protected with safety goggles, and a cooling gel is applied to the skin to help minimise discomfort. The IPL hand piece is then applied to the skin, delivering short pulses of light to the affected area. The treatment usually takes about 10-20 minutes, and multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
After the treatment, a small number of clients may experience mild swelling, redness, and discomfort, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Clients are advised to avoid sun exposure and to use sunscreen regularly to protect their skin.
It's important to note that IPL therapy is not a cure for rosacea though IPL facials can dramatically maintain improve the appearance of the skin.
