One treatment. A big reduction in visible thread veins.
During one of the most stressful periods of her life, she started to notice the small capillaries gradually increasing, spreading across her cheeks and tracking down towards the jawline.
Grief doesnāt just sit in your head. It affects your nervous system, your inflammation levels, even how reactive your skin becomes. When flushing happens repeatedly, fragile capillaries can eventually stop bouncing back.
Before coming to me, sheād tried several treatments elsewhere, including a full course of electrolysis, with very little change. While that approach can be effective for smaller, isolated vessels, the extent of her presentation needed further consideration and a different treatment approach.
She was advised to continue with more sessions and see how things progressed, something didnāt sit comfortably with her and it wouldnāt sit comfortably with me either.
No treatment is guaranteed. Skin is biological and can respond differently person to person. But if we follow the correct protocol and thereās no measurable improvement, I wonāt continue simply in the hope that something might change.
After one properly targeted vascular session, weāve significantly reduced the density of these vessels without damaging the surrounding skin. She has two treatments remaining, and itās been lovely to see her confidence already start to shift.
If youāre noticing increasing redness, flushing or broken capillaries, book in for a proper consultation.
IPL vascular treatments always require a thorough assessment and a test patch before we proceed. Safety and suitability come first.
