Was passiert bei einer IPL Behandlung gegen Rötungen?
Die Behandlung mit einem hochwertigen, medizinischen IPL-System beseitigt Gefäßstörungen in der Haut. Sie gehört zu den effektivsten Verfahren gegen feine, diffuse rote Äderchen und Rötungen. Beim IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) handelt es sich um eine breitbandig gepulste Lichtquelle. Ein auf Rötungen speziell abgestimmter IPL-Aufsatz gibt kurze Lichtimpulse ab, deren Wellenlängen speziell von dem roten Blutfarbstoff absorbiert wird. Der Farbstoff Hämoglobin, welcher in unserem Blut enthalten ist, nimmt das Licht auf und wandelt es in Wärme um. Dadurch werden kleine Äderchen verödet und dann auf sichere Art und Weise abgebaut. Mit dieser Methode lässt sich auch das Erscheinungsbild von Rosazea oder Couperose merklich verbessern.

THE IPL TREATMENT AGAINST RODS PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS
This procedure, also known as rosacea treatment, uses special wavelengths that can be absorbed by the red veins and dilated blood vessels. This process causes the vessels to constrict, which decreases the blood flow and
the redness is reduced.
What you can expect:
- Improved appearance: this procedure reduces redness and vascular disorders such as couperose, rosacea, and can sometimes be used for telangiectasia and spider nevi.
- Quick results: A good result can be visible after the first treatment.
- Customization: The intensity of IPL treatment can be adjusted to the individual needs of our clients to achieve a satisfactory result.
- Alternative to laser treatment: IPL technology is not formally a laser treatment, but a special type of light therapy that uses broader light spectra (wavelengths) and is therefore very suitable for superficial, diffuse redness.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about IPL
Lasting results are achieved after 3 to 5 sessions at intervals of 3 to 4 weeks. We recommend at least 3 treatments.
Often, the first improvements can be seen after the first session. However, the result can vary greatly depending on the skin condition.
Although IPL is a safe and gentle treatment method, there may be mild side effects such as redness, swelling and skin irritation, which usually disappear on their own after a few days.
Immediately after the treatment, the treated areas will be more noticeable than before. Veins may be more visible or turn purple to black. This effect is intentional and necessary to achieve an improvement.
IPL is suitable for most skin types, but best for skin types I to IV. The classic indication for IPL treatment is diffuse, superficial redness, e.g. the „apple cheeks of Snow White“. IPL should not be used in the case of certain skin diseases or when taking medication that makes the skin sensitive to light.
Be sure to avoid the sun for the first week after treatment. A suitable sunscreen with SPF 50+ is indispensable. In addition, sports and unnecessary sweating should be avoided for the first three days.
We usually advise against using IPL on dark skin types, as there is an increased risk of burns or pigment shifts. But basically, in any case, it is necessary to work with much less energy, which increases the number of treatments to achieve the desired result.
Mainly, patients feel a warm sensation on the skin. Sometimes up to a slight stinging pain. Immediately after the treatment, it feels similar to a mild sunburn.
Mild and moisturizing and cooling products are especially good for the skin after IPL treatment. To achieve even better results, we also offer special serums and creams against redness.
It is recommended to avoid this treatment during the summer months, especially in high temperatures and strong sunlight. This is because the skin may be more sensitive to sunlight after the treatment, which increases the risk of pigmentary shifts.
