FAQs
How does the treatment work?
During the treatment, we apply light energy to the skin. The energy is absorbed by the haemoglobin within the broken vessels, causing them to heat up and collapse. As a result, the broken capillaries either collapse and disappear or temporarily darken before gradually fading away. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs the treated vessels, leaving your skin looking clearer and more refreshed.
Which types of veins can be treated?
Conditions like Telangiectasia (spider veins, thread veins, nose wings), Granuloma Pyogenic, Hemangiomas, Angiomas (Campbell de Morgan spots / Cherry Angiomas), Port Wine Stains, and blue, red, or purple leg veins, as well as Venous Lakes, can be frustrating and impact your self-confidence. Fortunately, IPL and Long Pulsed ND:YAG laser technologies provide proven, effective solutions to reduce the appearance of these vascular concerns, helping you restore confidence in your skin.
How does the treatment feel?
Treatment is generally well-tolerated. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild, hot pinprick or a series of quick, warm snaps. While the treatment can feel slightly uncomfortable, it is quick and manageable, with no need for anaesthesia or numbing creams.
Are there any side effects?
Immediately after treatment the area may feel warm for a few hours. Occasionally, in delicate areas like the cheeks or décolleté there can be redness and swelling for up to 48 hours. In very rare instances, a small blister may form and there could be temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
How long does each treatment take?
Treatments times are from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
How many treatments are necessary?
1 to 5 treatments are usually required although small lesions may clear in just a single session. Treatment intervals are 4 to 6 weeks.
Each session progressively reduces the appearance of red veins, giving you clearer, more even skin over time. Your therapist will provide a personalised treatment plan based on your specific needs during the consultation.
Am I suitable for treatment?
Most people who suffer from visible red veins, rosacea, red spots, or thread veins are suitable for treatment. It works particularly well for individuals with lighter skin types.
If you’re unsure whether this treatment is right for you, we recommend booking a consultation with one of our experienced therapists. They will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and determine the best option for achieving your desired results.
