Facial Thread Veins Treatment Cardiff

What causes facial veins? These broken veins and capillaries are found in men and women mainly on the face, which are caused either by age, trauma, sun exposure or alcohol. How can they be treated? Intense Pulse Light or Laser treatment can eliminate damaged veins and capillaries by targeting the light energy on the facial veins. The light energy is absorbed by the haemoglobin and converted to heat energy. Blood coagulates and the vessel wall collapses. In time the vessel is broken down and absorbed by the body. How many treatments will I require? Patients can see dramatic improvements following a few treatments. Clearly the exact number depends on the patient’s initial skin condition prior to treatment. The important thing to remember is the high specification IPL /Laser equipment used generates improved results at each application due to the flexibility of the parameters and that greatly reduces the number of visits required. At Beauty Advance Laser Clinic we operate high specification equipment that requires the use of a skilled practitioner who will optimise the setting for each patient and at each subsequent visit. Are the treatments painful? There is slight discomfort sometimes described as a sting or snap of an elastic band but here at beauty advance we use a Cryo Zimmer cooler so it can be virtually pain free. Every client has a different pain threshold, therefore, some people can tolerate it more than others. The treatments are so effective that patients can return immediately to work or their daily routine as there is no down time.

Acne Clear Laser Treatment Effective alternative to daily pills and creams Acne is a common condition characterized by obstructed sebaceous glands, pimples and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. Acne does not only begin in adolescence and sometimes it can affect adults which is becoming more common. When severe, acne can often result in scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to scarring, if not properly treated. Until recently, patients with persistent, moderate acne have been treated with only topical or sometimes systemic antibiotics. Recent studies have demonstrated, however, that certain discrete spectra can trigger endogenic porphyrins that naturally destroy P. acnes bacteria — and in just a fraction of the time it typically takes for antibiotics to work. Within eight brief acne laser treatments, over just four weeks, Harmony®XL‘s AFT can provide significant improvement. This is three times faster than common antibiotics and topical. Patients should achieve 80% clearance. The treatment can take around 30 minutes or less depending on area. This will be discussed on consultation. Technology in use Clear inflammatory acne lesions without drugs or undesirable side effects using the HarmonyXL AFT laser handpiece. Intense blue wavelengths in the range of 420-950 nm target the porphyrins produced as part of the normal metabolism of P. acnes bacteria. The interaction of the intense blue light and the porphyrins creates singlet oxygen that rapidly destroys the bacteria without damaging the surrounding tissue. Key advantages for patients • Quicker results than pharmaceuticals • Safe treatment with 80% or more acne clearance on average • 8 or more treatments but some clients need considerably less. 8 treatments is the average course.
