Our Vascular Treatment Technologies
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL is highly effective for treating superficial vascular and pigmentation concerns, including:
Persistent facial redness
Rosacea-related redness
Fine red thread veins
Broken capillaries
Sun damage
Uneven skin tone
Post-inflammatory pigmentation
Enlarged pores and skin texture concerns
How IPL Works
IPL delivers pulses of light energy that are absorbed by haemoglobin within blood vessels and melanin within pigmentation. This selective heating causes unwanted vessels and pigmentation to break down naturally while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.
The treatment also stimulates collagen production, helping to improve skin texture, firmness and overall radiance.
Best Suited For
Mild to moderate redness
Diffuse facial flushing
Fine thread veins
Sun-damaged skin
Pigmentation concerns
Clients seeking brighter, more even-toned skin
Nd:YAG Vascular Laser
The Nd:YAG laser penetrates deeper into the skin than IPL, making it ideal for treating larger, more established vascular lesions and deeper blood vessels.
Commonly Treated Conditions
Larger facial veins
Broken capillaries
Blue, red and purple visible vessels
Cherry angiomas
Venous lakes
Persistent vascular lesions
Reticular veins on the legs
How Nd:YAG Works
The laser energy is selectively absorbed by blood within the vessel. The heat causes the vessel walls to collapse and seal, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb the treated vessel over time.
Best Suited For
Deeper facial veins
Stubborn broken capillaries
Cherry angiomas
Venous lakes
Vascular lesions resistant to other treatments
Visible veins on the face and body

FAQs

Profhilo differs from traditional dermal fillers in its mechanism of action and subsequent treatment result. While fillers add volume to specific areas, Profhilo spreads evenly to hydrate and bio-remodel the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Profhilo is commonly referred to as a ‘skin booster’ and is fantastic for: preventative ageing, maintaining dermal filler results and seasonal skin hydration.

Initial improvements can be seen within 1-2 weeks, with full results developing 4 weeks after the treatment course. The effects typically last up to 6 months, after which maintenance treatments may be recommended.
