Antibiotics may be effective in treating the mild cases of Rosacea and in decreasing spot formation in the more severe cases. However, it is only minimally effective on facial redness and rarely affects the broken blood vessels or flushing aspects of Rosacea.

While on this Rosacea treatment, most patients have to continue to avoid all of their individual triggers.  These triggers are not uncommon in Rosacea sufferers most of whom are very unhappy with their current treatment and are also severely limited in what they can do or eat. Oral and topical antibiotic therapy with the avoidance of all triggers is not a very satisfying Rosacea treatment strategy!

 IPL Rosacea treatment is effective at removing the structurally damaged blood vessels and diminishes the constant facial redness. This Rosacea treatment effectively treats more extensive areas of the face with less pain and greater speed than the older laser methods.

IPL experts who specialize in the treatment of Rosacea are able to achieve excellent clearance of broken blood vessels and the chronic red face, as well as significantly decrease the intensity and duration of the facial flush.

The Pulse Light Clinic has specialized exclusively in IPL for Rosacea treatment for the past eight years.  We have been privileged to observe the phenomenal effects of this procedure.  Its beneficial effects in the treatment of Rosacea can be truly awe inspiring.   Obviously a perfunctory pass of the face with one IPL head has little or no chance of achieving this, hence the need for extensive experience and expertise.

It is well understood that IPL targets the red haemoglobin in the offending blood vessels of Rosacea sufferers.  What is less well understood is that the vessels must be targeted on different levels of the skin during each Rosacea treatment. 

Knowledge and experience of the specific parameters required for Rosacea treatment, depth and location of vessels and an overall understanding of the underlying condition is what ensures a successful outcome to this distressing condition. 

Successful Rosacea treatment with IPL requires proper client selection and education, as well as finesse in Rosacea treatment technique.  IPL is able to theoretically treat facial blood vessels of different sizes, depths and thickness, effectively reducing the broken veins of Rosacea, chronic redness, flushing, swelling, burning and skin hypersensitivity.

 Nonetheless, for effective Rosacea treatment, it takes an experienced IPL specialist to find the right treatment parameters for Rosacea sufferers in order to ensure maximum results.

At the Pulse Light Clinic as much as 80% of all treatments are for the condition of Rosacea.
