IPL Photo Rejuvenation Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that has similar characteristics to acne and has been known - to be called ‘Adult Acne’ or ‘Acne Rosacea’. The cause for Rosacea is unknown, but researchers believe it’s likely due to some combination of hereditary and environmental factors.

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that causes the blood vessels in the facial skin to become inflamed and swollen.

It is characterised by:

• facial redness (erythema) and flushing/blushing

• fine blood vessels (telangiectasia) on the face

• swelling

Rosacea may begin as a tendency to flush or blush easily and progress to persistent redness in the center of the face that may gradually involve the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. It also may involve the ears, chest and back.

Some people experience facial redness, inflammation, burning or warm tingly sensations. As rosacea progresses, small blood vessels and tiny pimples begin to appear on and around the reddened area; however, unlike acne, there are no blackheads. Some people suffer from inflamed pustules or spots.

Rosacea and facial redness and flushing may be accentuated by hot liquids, spicy foods, alcohol (hot or cold), exposure to sunlight and heat (e.g. chefs working near a hot stove). Symptoms can be eased by avoidance of such triggering factors.

  • IPL Photo Rejuvenation effectively clears most active inflammatory Rosacea in 5-10 visits. Most clients report 70% (or greater) improvement. There are virtually no side effects, no downtime and no exposure to antibiotics using the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Technology to help minimise rosacea, it is important to stay away from things that may cause a flare up. Because everyone is different you should keep a running list of things that cause flaring.

  • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology enables our specialist to treat Rosacea with optimum results. Intense Pulse Light IPL has been clinically proven as being successful in reducing the side-effects of Rosacea. Intense Pulsed Light therapy uses multiple wavelengths of light to treat the dilated blood vessels of rosacea in the face. Effectively, the structures and blood vessels causing the rosacea to flare up, absorb the precise energy level and various wavelengths of light that are emitted from the IPL technology.

  • The most common thing to avoid is the sun, so wear sunscreen with an SPF 30+ for the duration of your treatments and even afterwards as it may trigger the Rosacea to appear before it has to.

    Below are some suggestions that may help with flare-ups:

    • Put on 30+ sunscreen everyday as part of your routine to help protect against the sun’s harmful rays.

    • Avoid getting too hot and overheating.

    • Protect your face in the winter with a scarf.

    • Avoid facial products and moisturisers that contain alcohol, astringents or other skin irritants.

    • Avoid alcoholic beverages

    • Avoid irritating your facial skin by rubbing or touching it too much.

    • Use products that are labelled non-comedogenic

    as they are designed to keep your pores less clogged compared to other generic products.

    • Avoid hot, spicy foods.
