Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

No more ingrown hairs:
IPL hair removal can vastly reduce the need for shaving and waxing. This helps to prevent the problems of ingrown hairs, shaving rash and stubble.

Save time and money:
A course of IPL hair removal may mean that you never have to wax or shave again – saving time and money in the long run.

Skin tone and texture improvements:
Shaving or waxing can really take its toll on the skin causing uneven texture and pigment problems. IPL hair removal takes those problems away!

IPL is best when used on the lighter sin types (Types 1-3 on the Fitzpatrick scale):

Type 1: always burns, never tans (pale, freckles).
Type 2: usually burns, minimal tanning.
Type 3: sometimes burns mildly, tans uniformly.
Type 4: burns minimally, always tans well (moderate brown).
Type 5: very rarely burns, tans very easily (dark brown).
Type 6: Never burns (deeply pigmented dark brown to darkest brown).

Spider veins and thread veins are commonly found on the face and can develop in anyone at any age.

What are facial thread veins?
Facial thread veins are tiny blood vessels that run close to the skin surface. They appear when blood vessels become enlarged which cause the veins to appear broken. The proper medical term for them is telangiectasia.

What are the causes of facial thread veins?
There are lots of causes of facial thread veins including exposure to the sun, changes in weather, excess alcohol consumption, hormone changes, or they can simply be as a result of your genes. People with rosacea often suffer from facial thread veins as the skin is red and flushed.
