FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Rosacea (Facial Vessels)

  • How does the treatment work?

    Light energy is applied to the skin where it is readily absorbed by blood vessels, heating them to a point where they are destroyed. Following treatment, the vessels quickly clear as they are reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.

  • Is the treatment painful?

    Treatment is mildly uncomfortable but there is no need for anaesthesia and the procedure is actually quite quick. Sensations vary but most people describe the treatment as feeling like a very quick, hot pinprick.

  • Who is suitable for the treatment?

    Most people are suitable for treatment. Best results are obtained for lighter skin types. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you

  • How many sessions will I need?

    The number of sessions required varies from client to client and depends on many factors, however, a course of treatments is recommended. Though small lesions may clear in just a single session, a minimum of 3 and up to 6 treatments, at 4-week intervals, deliver the best results, depending on the skin concern.
