IPL Vascular Treatment – Reduce Redness & Broken Capillaries

IPL Vascular Treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure designed to visibly reduce redness, facial flushing, and broken capillaries. Using advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, the treatment targets haemoglobin in superficial blood vessels, gently heating and eliminating unwanted vessels through the body’s natural lymphatic process.

This treatment helps restore clear, even-toned skin—particularly on the face, neck, and chest.

What It Treats

Facial capillaries and telangiectasia
Spider veins around the nose and cheeks
Facial flushing and redness
Red spots (cherry angiomas)
Mild rosacea (spot treatment only)
Redness on the chest and décolletage

What to Expect

Treatments are fast, comfortable, and require minimal downtime. Most clients see optimal results with 2–4 sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart. Maintenance is recommended every 3–6 months, especially for clients prone to vascular issues.
