Whether born with them or acquired over the course of a lifetime, virtually everyone who reaches middle age typically gets there with one or more annoying blemishes.
Broken veins, rosacea and pigmentation can be disfiguring and embarrassing conditions, but they can be treated with light therapies such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
This is a gentle, non-ablative treatment, carried out using an Intense Pulsed Light source (IPL). It uses broad spectrum light transmitted through a small, smooth, transparent handpiece which is gently placed over the skin.
The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by either the blood when treating thread veins or the melanin when treating age spots, causing these pigments to break down. The body’s natural processes then remove the injured tissue giving the skin a more evenly toned and youthful appearance.
During treatment, the IPL wavelength is optimized so that the energy is absorbed only by the targeted blood vessels, delivering sufficient energy to destroy the entire vessel without causing damage to the surrounding skin.
IPL treatment is ideal for patients with active lifestyles because the procedure requires no downtime and has a low risk of side effects unlike some more invasive laser treatments.

Thread veins can also be treated with electrosurgery, also known as diathermy. A small electrical current is delivered via a fine-tipped pen, after which the thread vein will form a fine crust which flakes off after a few days.
