Treatments / Calm, even tone
IPL toning and targeted laser to calm facial redness and reduce visible broken capillaries and spider veins.
How it works
Visible redness often comes from small blood vessels close to the surface. Light energy is absorbed by the blood within these vessels, gently heating and sealing them so the body can reabsorb them over the following weeks.
For diffuse redness and uneven tone we use IPL toning, which also helps brighten the complexion. For individual broken capillaries and spider veins, a targeted laser treats each vessel more precisely.

The technology
Square-pulse intense pulsed light.
Solari is an IPL (intense pulsed light) system that delivers an even, square-shaped pulse of light. Filters select the wavelengths for each concern, such as redness, broken capillaries and uneven tone.
A large, cooled treatment tip keeps the experience comfortable; most people describe a light flick followed by warmth.
Lutronic
Dual-wavelength 755 / 1064 nm laser.
Clarity II combines 755 nm and 1064 nm lasers in one platform. Having both wavelengths lets the practitioner match the laser to your skin type and the target, from unwanted hair to redness and pigment.
Its IntelliTrak system measures skin temperature in real time and delivers energy evenly as the handpiece glides across the skin.
Your visit
We look at the pattern of your redness, ask about triggers and health history, and recommend IPL, targeted laser or both.
Skin is cleansed and, for vascular laser, a numbing cream can be applied if you would like extra comfort. Please bring your own, as we don’t supply it.
Light is delivered in short pulses, often felt as a quick snap followed by warmth. The skin is cooled throughout and afterwards.
Mild redness usually fades within hours. Avoid heat, intense exercise and direct sun for a couple of days, and use a gentle, fragrance-free routine.
Pricing

Questions
For IPL toning, a course of three sessions followed by maintenance is a common starting point. Vascular treatments depend on the number and size of the vessels. Results vary from person to person.
Fine surface vessels usually leave only mild redness that settles within hours. Deeper or larger vessels need more energy and can take from a few days to a few weeks to settle fully.
Treated vessels can be reduced significantly, but genetics, sun exposure and lifestyle can lead to new ones over time. Daily sun protection and occasional maintenance help.
If your flushing is persistent, severe or comes with other symptoms, we recommend a medical review before treatment. We are happy to discuss this at consultation.
Individual results vary. Suitability is confirmed at consultation; temporary redness, swelling or tenderness may occur.
