Redness of the nose or cheeks, dilated and cracked veins and coils on the face look unhealthy. We treat them with intense pulsed light or electrosurgery.
Individual coils are removed purposefully by electrocoagulation. We use an electrosurgical device for this. An electric needle with heat destroys the tissue of the blood vessel and it closes. Immediately after the treatment, a small scab remains in the area, which heals in two weeks with a small scar. Electrocoagulation is also suitable for the removal of skin growths and spider marks. This method is mainly used when removing small, point coils.
If it is not just an aesthetic problem, but an inflammatory skin disease of the face, rosacea, we treat it with IPL therapy, i.e. therapy with intense pulsed light. Rosacea is first manifested by reddening of the skin, mostly on the cheeks or nose, and dilated veins. It most often affects people belonging to light phototypes. Gradually, red inflammatory pimples or blisters may appear. The disease can be provoked by heat or excessive sun exposure. It is necessary to avoid activities that have an irritating effect on this disease, e.g. sauna, direct sun, heating by infra-thermal lamp, hot thermal baths.
During IPL therapy, with the help of an optimally selected program, the coils are reduced and the redness is gradually eliminated.
The walls of the coils become coagulated and thus the choroid becomes invisible. After the procedure, the redness may become even more pronounced, but this will disappear after a few hours. Some coils may reappear, so the procedure needs to be repeated.
For better results, it is advisable to use creams or gels designed for reddened skin, which improve the reactivity of skin blood vessels, in synergy with the treatment and to achieve long-term results. The most suitable periods for the procedure are autumn and winter.
