My skin was dreadful having suffered the effects of rosacea for over 10 years and I had given up hope of ever finding a solution. Then last summer I came across the Pulse Light Clinic by chance on the internet. From the moment I walked through the door of the clinic, the warm, kind and understanding welcome I received from Sheila and Josi put any nerves I had completely at rest. Six sessions of IPL later, in the wonderful skilled hands of Sheila, and my skin is amazing. Gone is the burning, flushing sensations, the angry looking red capillaries are no more and my skin is smooth and soft.

Before                   After

"For all my adult life I’ve had to cover up all the patches of red thread veins on my face, and it made me so self-conscious. As I got older this became more and more of a problem – make up really shows on older skin! I had heard about treatments for rosacea and wondered if it worked for broken veins as well. When I found the Pulse Light Clinic web site I thought I’d go for a consultation, especially as it was conveniently located in the centre of city of London.

"For some time prior to seeing Sheila I was deeply unhappy with my skin; there was a turnover of a spots and blackheads which I found a relentless distraction. More than this, even in areas that were clear of spots the skin looked poor: it had childhood freckles gone wrong alongside the consequences of the years with blotches, open pores and uneven colour. Overall it looked mottled and unhealthy.

I did take this face-ache to several doctors and found they only saw it in terms of minor acne. I tried many creams (some prescription-only), skin peels and many other treatments that caught my eye.

I regret my tone with Sheila when I first phoned (I can recall being jaded and suspicious). Sheila being Sheila took no offence and I had an initial first blast. I was elated with the immediate outcome; straight away dozens of overpigmented areas were dark brown and seemed to be sitting on the surface of the skin. In the following days these were gone, leaving a wonderful nothing underneath. Over the 6 treatments this happened again and again, each time evening the look of the skin.

John suffered from Rosacea for a number of years. He came with the hope of getting some relief from the condition.
"Having been a long time sufferer from Rosacea I was keen to find a treatment which would tackle the problem of broken facial veins. I tried conventional laser treatment but found this to be largely ineffective.
I enquired into IPL and after a consultation at Pulse-Light Clinic decided to enter into a course of treatment. I am delighted to say IPL has proved to be the answer that I had been looking for.
Broken veins have now been removed and other Rosacea symptoms such as red blotches and facial flushing have long since abated.
To anyone who suffers from Rosacea I would not hesitate to thoroughly recommend a course of IPL treatment at Pulse-Light Clinic."

GP came to the clinic having suffered from Rosacea

"The first signs of rosacea starting to become noticeable in my early 40's and only required a little concealer to hide the broken capillaries.

However, as I matured I found that I could not leave the house without concealer, even if I was going for a run.  I went to my GP who prescribed a topical steroid cream (I refused to take a massive dose of antibiotics) and told me to avoid red wine and spicy foods. 

This treatment had little effect on my rosacea.  Thankfully when I contacted my GP to discuss what else we could, he told me one of his female colleagues was recommending her patients to the Pulse Light Clinic.

I was a little apprehensive of using IPL, but after the initial consultation with Sheila MacLean I was eager to get started.  I saw immediate results after my first treatment.

I cannot in all honesty say that the treatment is pleasant, but Sheila is so professional and knowledgeable about her work, that she makes each session an interesting experience.

Yvie came to the clinic having suffered from Rosacea for many years and having tried a variety of pills and potions

"Having suffered from Rosacea for many years and having tried a variety of pills and potions, none of which worked, it got to the stage where most of my face was covered in unsightly broken veins. I also had outbreaks of sores now and again a side effect of Rosacea, which were controlled by medication.

A doctor I saw privately was unable to help me. He did however tell me about Pulsed Light Treatment. Armed with a list of questions he advised me to ask the people I contacted, I headed for the internet. I chose three companies to contact and picked up the telephone. The first company wouldn’t answer any questions over the telephone. The second company I contacted answered some but not all of my questions and refused to give me even a ball part figure on cost. The third call was to Sheila MacLean at Pulse Light Clinic; it wasn’t just third time lucky I STRUCK GOLD.
