What do broken blood capillaries look like?
Broken capillaries can appear as thin, reddish, or purplish lines on the face, particularly around the nose, cheeks, and chin. They may also take the form of small clusters of red spots that resemble a spider's web, giving them their nickname "spider veins."
Factors like genetics, sun damage, aging, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and skin conditions like rosacea all contribute to the development of broken blood capillaries. While they are not usually a health concern, these visible vessels can be a source of self-consciousness for many.
What happens during an IPL photofacial?
IPL stands for "intense pulsed light," and it's a noninvasive process that uses high-intensity pulses of light to target specific skin concerns. During an IPL photofacial at Everest Medspa, Dr. Li will use a handheld device to deliver pulses of light to the treatment area. This causes the capillaries to break down and be reabsorbed by the body, resulting in a less visible appearance.
What are the benefits of hyperpigmentation treatment?
There are many reasons patients in Havertown, PA, choose IPL photofacials over other skin rejuvenation options, including:
- Minimal downtime: Unlike other options that require weeks of recovery, an IPL photofacial involves very little downtime. Patients generally return to daily activities after undergoing treatment.
- Versatility: IPL photofacials address a range of concerns, including broken capillaries, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, rosacea symptoms, and uneven skin tone.
- Long-lasting results: While multiple appointments may be necessary for optimal results, IPL photofacials provide long-lasting improvements in skin appearance.
Is any special preparation necessary for an IPL photofacial?
Before your IPL photofacial, Dr. Li may recommend avoiding UV exposure and skincare products that increase sensitivity to light-based treatments. A consultation will also include a discussion of your medical history and any current medications you are taking to ensure IPL is safe for your needs. We want to ensure the best possible outcome for your skin.
How long do results from an IPL photofacial last?
Results from IPL photofacials vary from person to person, but most patients see significant improvements in skin tone and texture after 3 – 6 sessions. It's essential to follow a proper skincare routine and protect your skin from sun exposure to maintain these results. Dr. Li may also recommend touch-up sessions every 6 – 12 months.
