Telangiectasias or thread veins or spider veins are usually small dilated boold vessels near the surface of the skin, measuring between 0.5 to 1mm in diameter. Although they can develop anywhere on the body they are more commonly seen on the face, cheeks, nose and chin.
These are not regarded as a serious medical condition but their appearance on exposed areas makes the sufferer feel self-conscious about them.
We also offer a non-invasive IPL procedure using a lower level light energy to rejuvenate and improve and treat the appearance of photo aged skin, remove age spots (sun induced freckles), most benign brown pigments and redness caused by broken capillaries.
The principle of the treatment is exactly the same as Hair Reduction IPL treatments.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) delivers a pulse or several pulses of light energy into the skin where it is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and, to a lesser extent, by the surrounding tissues.
IPL treatments can be used to treat a large number of skin conditions for example Hair reduction, Skin rejuvination, Skin pigmentation and thread veins to name a few. By applying the appropriate pulse of tailored light you can see visible results very quickly.
