Vascular lesions
How does Eternal Youth IPL work on Veins and Rosacea?
By sending very short pulses of light into the skin it destroys the vein using heat. The veins shrink over the following weeks and are re-absorbed by the body. Facial problems such as permanent red flushing, broken thread veins and red spots have proved most successful.
Skin may be slightly red after treatment, however this disappears within a few hours. A course of 1-5 treatments are required every 3-4 weeks.
Rosacea
The Rosacea is a diffuse redness of the face that usually affects people with very light skin color. The action of the sun on these particular skin types can cause a dilatation of the smallest and most superficial facial blood vessels. The laser energy is delivered through a special handpiece in a series of brief pulses. The laser energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, but not by surrounding tissues. The consequent targeted heat absorption causes coagulation, which is subsequently absorbed by the body. IPL is one of the most effective to perform the selective phototermolysis on roscea due to very high oxy hemoglobin absorption coefficient.

Facial telangiectasia
The Facial Telangiectasia, also called couperose, is caused by the abnormal enlargement of the superficial blood microvessles of the face. Usually the facial telangiectasia is visible on people with very light skin color. The action of the sun of these particular skin types can cause a dilatation of the small and specifically blood vessels. The laser energy is delivered through a special handpiece in series of brief pulses. The laser energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, but not by surrounding tissues. The consequent targeted heat absorption causes coagulation, which is subsequently absorbed by the body. IPL is one of the most effective to perform the selective phototermolysis on roscea due to very high oxy hemoglobin absorption coefficient.
Matting
Matting, or "post –sclerotherapy noevasularization" is the appearance of tiny red telangiectasias that appear following vein sclerotherapy treatment. The incidence of this “blushing” after sclerotherapy is around 20%. Spontaneous matting may also occur. For these small veins (usually less than 0.75mm) the laser is very viable treatment option.
