Ready to boost your confidence!?

The first step is to schedule a consultation with us in our Southsea Salon. During this session, your skin will be assessed, and the facial veins you wish to target will be evaluated. We will determine if you are a suitable candidate for IPL facial vein removal and discuss the expected results and any potential risks.

Before the facial vein removal treatment, it is crucial to prepare your skin properly. This typically involves avoiding excessive sun exposure and tanning beds, as well as discontinuing the use of certain skincare products, such as retinol, for a specified period.

Once your skin is prepared, the IPL treatment session can begin. You will be provided with special goggles to protect your eyes from the intense light. We will then apply a cooling gel to your skin to enhance comfort during the procedure. A handheld device emitting pulses of intense light will be carefully passed over the targeted areas, such as the facial veins. The light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to heat up and eventually collapse.

After the IPL treatment, we may apply a soothing gel or cream to your skin to minimise any potential redness or swelling. You will be given specific post-treatment instructions to follow, which may include avoiding direct sunlight, using sunscreen such as Lynton Light Protect SPF and gentle skincare routines. Over the following days and weeks, the targeted veins will gradually fade, and you should start to notice improved skin appearance.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know vein removal Treatments

Can all type of vein be treated?

No, but most red skin lesions including facial thread veins, rosacea, spider naevi, port wine stains are treated with Intense Pulsed Light, whereas leg veins up to 3mm in diameter are often treated with a Laser.

How does IPL work?

The light emitted from the Intense Pulsed Light system directly targets overactive sebaceous glands, greatly reducing the total number and severity of active lesions, and lessening the inflammation and occurrence of break-outs. The light stimulates the production of new collagen to improve skin texture, and can also reduce the appearance of red or brown areas of skin that are often associated with acne breakouts.

Am I suitable for the Treatment?

Almost everyone can be treated, apart from very dark-skinned or tanned individuals. If you are pregnant or taking Roaccutane (an acne medication) it is best not to undergo laser or Intense Pulsed Light treatment.

How does the Treatment feel?

Treatment is mildly uncomfortable but no anesthesia is required. Many people describe the sensation as similar to the flick of an elastic band.

What should I expect after the Treatment?

Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear red and a warm tingling sensation may be felt. Typically the skin is cooled to ease any discomfort and a calming gel is applied..

What are the side effects?

The treated area can become quite red immediately after treatment but this usually disappears within a couple of hours. Most people experience no other side effects but very rarely a small blister could form or the skin may become temporarily lighter or darker.

How many treatments are necessary?

Depends on your skin condition, but normally 5-6 treatments.
