Thread veins, also known as spider veins or broken capillaries, are tiny blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, creating a red, spider-web-like appearance. Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, red, pus-filled bumps.
Both conditions can be frustrating and challenging to manage, often causing self-consciousness and discomfort. While they’re not harmful to your health, they can significantly impact your confidence and quality of life.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Thread Veins Removal is a non-invasive treatment that targets and breaks down the pigment in the blood vessels causing thread veins and rosacea. The light energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, heating them to a point where they are destroyed without damaging the surrounding skin.
This treatment is safe, effective, and suitable for lighter skin types. With a series of sessions, you can expect a significant reduction in the appearance of thread veins and rosacea, leaving your skin clearer, smoother, and more even-toned.
