Red Vein Removal

IPL is visible light of various wavelengths which allows hair removal, skin rejuvenation and the removal of skin lesions with very little trauma to the skin. The treatment is quick, gentle and non-invasive. A hand held treatment head is placed against the skin and pulses of light are delivered through a filter which is selected according to the patient’s skin type. The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by either the skin or hair, whichever is applicable.

Facial thread veins or broken red veins (telangiectasia) are small unsightly superficial red, purple or blue veins that occur around the nose and across the cheeks and chin. The laser light can destroy the vein without damaging your skin, small spider veins may disappear immediately after treatment.

Facial veins may be hereditary or as a result of a variety of factors including damage from sun exposure, wind and the extremes of temperature. This treatment is also clinically proven to help the skin condition called rosacea.
