Intense Pulse Light (IPL)
Intense Pulsed Light offers a breakthrough treatment for red and blue veins. Pulsed light can help remove brown and red areas and stimulate production of new collagen.
It is particularly effective when combined with other clinic treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion.

Sclerotherapy
As an alternative to laser treatment we also offer Sclerotherapy. This highly popular treatment involves the injection of a sclerosant solution into the affected area, which helps destroy the vein lining and kills the blood vessel.
Sclerotherapy and lasers compliment each other and sometimes a combination works best. Following your initial consultation your nurse will help you to decide which treatment is most suitable for you.
Acne Rosacea
Rosacea is a common inflammatory condition of the skin of the face that causes redness that looks like a flush or blush. Rosacea is sometimes called acne rosacea. Rosacea often progresses from intermittent to persistent facial redness, with pimples without blackheads, and telangiectasia (broken blood vessels) usually found on cheeks, nose and chin. Clients with rosacea often find that certain lifestyle and environmental factors trigger a flare-up or aggravate their individual conditions.
Common triggers include certain foods (especially hot or spicy foods) and drink, (especially alcohol and caffeine), exercise, temperature changes, exposure to the sun, rain or wind, and stress. Rosacea responds very well to treatment but cannot be cured. Left untreated, the redness becomes more permanent and the tiny blood vessels may become more visible. Treatment of Rosacea can involve any of the following depending on the severity of the condition:
- Intense Pulse Light treatment
- Topical Antibiotics
- Sensitive Skin Products
- Sun protection products
Following an initial consultation and assessment, one of our specialist nurses will advise you on which treatment is most appropriate to your condition.

Spider Naevi
Spider nevus is the name given to small angiomata which appear on the surface of the skin. They are small benign lesions with a number of tiny blood vessels radiating from them to resemble the legs of a spider.
The centre is about 1mm in diameter and the whole lesion about 5 to 10mm across. Lesions most frequently occur on the face, below the eyes, and over the cheekbones.
They are only a cosmetic problem and can be difficult to cover up.
Spider Nevus are relatively easy to remove and are treated using IPL.
Often one session is all that is required to remove them permanently. (*)
