Rosacea IPL Rejuvenation Treatment

Yes, KLNIK IPL technology targets redness, inflammation, acne, pimples and uneven skin tone caused by Rosacea.

For most clients we recommend a course of 6 sessions one every 3 weeks, whether its mild, moderate or severe. Clients respond differently, as there are so many factors effecting the condition. Based on the results from the first course will indicate how regular you may need top up sessions.

IPL is usually the better option for most Rosacea clients, as IPL is scattered light which is better for sensitive skin. IPL can target multiple layers in the skin – vessels lay throughout, whereas most lasers only reach one depth making them restrictive. Lasers are better for leg veins and larger nose vessels.

More studies are starting to show there may be a link between the two. Your Consultant may discuss this with you during your treatment programme. Some clients respond better to IPL if there flushing is more under control through diet – therefore producing less vessels between sessions.

With our technique bruising is very rare post treatment. Clients with superficial vessels may notice results straight away, but most of the vessel clearance happens through the body’s lymphatic system in the 2-4 weeks following each session. It is very rare but some clients have swelling for up to a week after the session, an extra pillow behind the head at night, avoiding heat and drinking plenty of water can assist with this.

Ideally if you are on antibiotics or antibiotic cream, we would prefer you to have finished these before commencing treatment with us as they can make the skin more light sensitive. If this is not possible, we would require you to see Dr Rosh first to see what treatment can be conducted. Avoiding sunlight on the area is important, a physical sun cream would be more appropriate whilst undergoing treatment – this should be used all year round.

Yes, it is possible. Most clients with Rosacea are sensitive to sun light and should avoid sun on the face, therefore it is usually fine to treat with caution during summer months. A physical sun cream must be worn.
