Rosacea treatment involves lasers which emit high energy at a specific wavelength (or colour) in a single beam. Intense pulsed light (IPL) is broadband light and delivers hundreds of wavelengths (or colours) in a single discharge. Both lasers and IPL are able to selectively target blood (haemoglobin) within the skin without collateral damage to the surrounding structures. The light energy is absorbed by blood inside the veins, heating up the vessel wall, which collapses and over time dissolves.Discrete facial thread veins are most effectively treated utilizing either
Nd Yag 1064nm LP laser for larger diameter (0.1-0.6mm), deeper blue/purple vessels. This laser can also be used in a ‘free running' mode to effectively reduce flushing by destroying the deeper feeder vessels.
KTP 532nm LP laser for larger diameter (0.1-0.3mm), superficial bright red vessels.
Diffuse red blush is most effectively treated utilizing the V Beam 595nm PDL. This technology is now far superior to the most advanced IPL treatments.
