Acne and Acne Rosacea

Case studies show extremely positive results for treatment of both acne and acne rosacea.

Acne-rosacea can be self-perpetuating, causing damage to surrounding tissue and weakening the dermal cells. Optimum results are obtained by treating both the cause and the associated skin damage producing the best long term results. Nutritional aspects are considered; the skin also reflects the internal health of the body.

We have developed a holistic approach which uses our own innovative three pronged technique.

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage

• IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

Each of the above is effective when used on its own; however the skilled use of a combination of all three is even more effective. This approach is a breakthrough in the treatment and natural management of rosacea and acne rosacea.

Rosacea Research – What Did We Learn In 2011?

At the Pulse Light Clinic we are dedicated to achieve the most favourable outcomes for our clients, and as part of our commitment to this, we monitor each and every client extensively.

In 2011 we witnessed and celebrated, successful treatment of Rosacea in hundreds of cases, including all four sub-types.

There is no known cure for Rosacea, however we at the Pulse Light Clinic direct our attention to accomplish a remission, this is our goal: few or no flushing episodes, paler/clearer complexion, and an absence of visible facial blood vessels.

ROSACEA TREATMENT

Since 2002 The Pulse Light Clinic has specialized in IPL treatment for Rosacea. We have pioneered IPL techniques including multiple passes of Intense Pulsed light (IPL) to reach errant vessels under the skin.

These contribute greatly to facial flushing and redness and surface capillaries. We are able to achieve good  clearance of telangiectasia and the chronic red face, as well as significantly decreasing the intensity and duration of the facial flush.  

We have used  most advanced IPL equipment, tried and tested against our rigorous standards of safety and performance. We have pushed the boundaries of what is possible using IPL technology.   

Consequently, over the years we have amassed a wealth of understanding and clinical knowledge of the condition of Rosacea and its treatment.  We strive for clinical excellence and are a results led clinic.

WHAT IS ROSACEA?

Rosacea (pronounced Rose AY Sha) is a chronic (long term), inflammatory skin disorder. It occurs in both men and women and may begin as early as the teenage years. The most common symptoms include:

• Facial redness of the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead
• Visibly damaged blood vessels (telangiectasia)
• Small red inflammatory papules

The condition develops gradually as mild episodes of facial blushing or flushing which can lead to a permanent red face. Individuals with fair skin, particularly those of Scottish, Irish or Celtic descent are more predisposed to Rosacea. This condition is commonly known as “The curse of the Celts” although people with darker skins also suffer from Rosacea.
