Small veins on the face, but also in the décolleté area, occur mainly in rosacea. This redness is often perceived as very distressing, and not only older but also younger patients are affected by the disturbing vascular changes.
The rappjderm skin center uses a flash lamp (IPL/SWT) of the latest generation (nordlys Ellipse-Candela) for treatment.
The light is absorbed by the red blood pigment in the dilated vessels. This causes heat to develop in the dilated vessels, which leads to obliteration of the vessels. The closed veins are then broken down by the body. This treatment can achieve a significant reduction in annoying redness/veins. The upper layer of skin (epidermis) remains completely undamaged. However, redness and slight swelling may occur for a maximum of 1-2 days after the treatment.
1-3 sessions are usually necessary for a good result.
As with most laser treatments, you must not be tanned at the time of treatment and should avoid sun exposure for 2-3 weeks after treatment.
