PULSE LIGHT CLINIC SPECIALISTS IN INTENSE PULSED LIGHT - IPL for "Rosacea Treatment"

Description

The Pulse-Light Clinic offers medically-led IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment and is located in the heart of the City of London. It treats Rosacea and other skin conditions using a combination of IPL and nutritional support. The clinic, which offers free consultation, established in 2002, employs only fully qualified experienced nurses and is registered with the Health Care Commission.

Successful Rosacea treatment with IPL requires proper client selection and education, as well as finesse in treatment technique.

Now is the time to start IPL Rosacea treatment 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. You can have a free consultation http://www.pulselightclinic.co.uk/rosacea_treatment.html

Simple explanantion of how IPL works By Dave Maratos (former University Lecturer) Introduction. Many people would like to know more about how IPL is used for Rosacea Treatment. Therefore this two part article will try to explain how Pulsed Light Treatment works. The second part may include extracts from research. For those who are unfamiliar with Rosacea (Acne Rosacea), there can typically be redness in the central regions of the face, or 'transient flushing' over the parts that normally blush. A famous person with rosacea is former President Bill Clinton.

Part 1) Non-Technical:- The basis of pulsed light treatments is that it delivers a pulses of light which are attracted to 'colour attracting elements' in the skin. Blood has parts that are very specific colours, and so the pulsed light can be chosen to be attracted to the blood that is in the blood vessels that are part of the 'visible redness of the face or skin (dilated capillaries). When the light hits these red coloured parts in the skin, it can turn to heat and destroy 'the dilated surface vessels' which were causing the redness. To understand how this works, you need to understand two things about light:-

Firstly, you need to know about the different frequencies of light. Light can make you warm, if you are old enough to remember electric fires, they glowed red and gave off a lot of heat. Old light bulbs had a filament inside which glowed, and got quite hot. Fluorescent lights use more blue light (UV) which hits a white surface, which then glows white (like a shirt in a disco or nightclub that has UV lights). If you look at a UV light in a nightclub, it is bluish. Florescent lights do not get as hot as the old light bulbs; red colours (wavelengths) are warmer, blue ones are colder. Therefore intense pulsed light treatment chooses the best wavelengths to produce a little bit of heat where it is wanted.

Secondly, you need to know how these frequencies target ‘the red blood’ and not e.g. ‘white or coloured skin’.

A question for school students is A sheet of red paper will look black when illuminated with ....light ?

a. yellow b. cyan c. magenta

The answer is b cyan because: Objects will only reflect their own colour in the incident light and cyan ‘is cyan’ because it reflects blue and green and not red.

For Rosacea, the pulsed light is made to be the right colours (frequencies) that will be absorbed most by the ‘red’ blood, making heat, and at the same time, the frequencies of the pulsed light are also chosen so as not to affect the skin. Skin blemishes, tattoos and similar are different colours, which is why we notice them and why they can also be targeted by specific colours/frequencies of laser or pulsed light. Therefore pulsed light or laser treatment can work on one or more of the following: Rosacea Facial Blood Vessels including Port Wine Stains Freckles and Skin Darkening Sun Damage Wrinkles Acne Tattoos

HOW DOES PULSED LIGHT DIFFER FROM LASER?

Lasers deliver one colour of light (you might have noticed red laser pointers or even green or yellow lasers). Pulsed Light can deliver lots of colours of light at a time. The wavelengths are chosen by using ‘cut off filters’ and are chosen for the specific hair, blood vessels, or skin colour being treated; and can be modified with each pulse. Pulsed Light begins with all wavelengths of light from 500 to 1200 nanometers (nm) - including green, yellow, red and infrared light. Various lower range ‘cut off’ filters (ranging from 515 - 755) block light shorter than the wavelength of the cut off filter.
