IPL And Laser Versus Topical Treatment For Rosacea and Facial Redness

As promised, here is my second article in my 'Red Complexion & Rosacea series. This article deals with the topic of permanent facial redness that includes an investigation into the truths, myths, costs and  pros and cons of available treatments.

My first article 'Flushing, Blushing, Facial Redness Misconceptions and Treatments'  dealt with flushing, which is a natural automated, psychological or allergic response to the environment.

Furthermore, the first article highlighted the fact that these responses can be reduced, controlled and prevented using a combination of methods and treatments. These include relaxation, physical exercise, lifestyle changes,  topical treatments and natural supplements; or in extreme cases prescribed medication and therapy maybe necessary.

Permanent facial redness is a physical condition whereby the blood vessels and capillaries have become damaged as a consequence of:

• Over exposure to the sun.
• Long term and frequent unhealthy flushing (not physical exercise flushing).
• Toxins caused by long term high alcohol consumption.
• Hereditary condition.
• Symptoms of rosacea.
• Free radicals that damage skin. Example, from smoking.

Damaged blood vessels or thread veins are often referred to as broken. This does not imply they are leaking, it means they have become permanently dilated. As a result the blood constantly remains visible. If rosacea symptoms are present, lumps, bumps, and thickened red skin may accompany the visible capillaries.

How is Permanent Facial Redness Treated?

Facial redness and damaged capillaries can be treated by using either topical creams or IPL (Intense Pulse Light Therapy) and Laser treatment. The aim of topical treatments is to shrink damaged blood vessels and capillaries and strengthen skin cell walls against future damage. Laser & IPL treatments target and destroy damaged blood vessels and capillaries.

The most commonly asked question by people experiencing facial redness and rosacea is; which type of treatment is best?

Laser and IPL Treatments

Laser Treatment can only be applied by certified medical professionals. It works by emitting an intense narrow beam of light heats and destroys the damaged capillary. There is a slight risk of scar ring with laser treatment.

IPL Treatment can be applied by non certified people such as beauty salon assistants.  IPL flashes light, which matches the color of blood in the vessel. The IPL light energy is absorbed by the blood in the vessel, the blood is heated and the vessel is damaged and removed, but all other tissues around the blood vessel are not affected. IPL is more popular for this type of treatment as it is faster, supposedly gives less after effects and there is no risk of scarring.

Misconceptions

Instant results.

Truths

It takes around 5 treatments over a 6 month period for best results.

Pros

• High success rate.
• Visible results in just a few treatments.

Cons

• Painful with swelling sometimes experienced afterwards that can last a few days.
• Possible side effects; hyperpigmentation, nausea and swelling
• High cost, up to $3000 for 5 treatments.
• The risk of getting a poor quality treatment by unprofessional IPL operators.
• No Money Back Guarantee

Reputable Topical Treatments

Quality topical treatments endorsed by the medical profession contain natural active ingredients that aim to reduce inflammation, promote healing as well as nourishing and strengthening the skin. The philosophy behind this type of treatment is that it aims to treat the root cause and not just the immediate symptoms.

Misconceptions

Fast results

Truths

Like laser and IPL treatments, they take a few months before effective results are seen.

Pros

• It costs a fraction of laser/IPL at around $150 for a 6 month treatment.
• No side effects
• Long term

Cons

• Lower success rate than Laser/IPL
• Visible results take longer than with Laser/IPL.

Which To Choose?

There is no 100% guarantee that either solution will work, or that the redness symptoms or damaged capillaries will not return. However, by choosing a proven topical treatment first, and the treatments produced your desired results, then this would save you a considerable amount of money

A.I.M. $32.95 From the Introduction by Alex Gill Before embarking on the A.I.M. program, I was just an ordinary guy with a problem that many, many others have had at some point in their careers.  I was unhappy.  I was becoming bitter.  I complained about my job a lot. I knew I was in a rut and couldn't figure out what to do about it.  I felt powerless, unfocused and alone. And I didn't see a way I could make things improve. That was my starting point before I began the A.I.M. process. Today, I run my own firm that helps dozens of nonprofits improve their community impact each year. I work on very interesting and socially relevant projects for an ever-growing roster of clients. I have flown around the world to talk about community building, environmentalism and social marketing. I also teach at an innovative downtown university where the students are a joy to teach and my fellow professors often remark on my enthusiasm for my work and life in general. My friends and family constantly note that I seem happier and more motivated as the years go by. This did not happen because of some exceptional piece of luck - nor because of some superhuman ability or intelligence on my part ... I was someone who happened upon a method - the A.I.M. method - that helped me determine who I was and what inspired me, and then put me on the path to achieving it. It happened because I put those principles into action with the help and guidance of a coach like Jim Carlisle. I hope as you read this book that you will appreciate how A.I.M. changed my life - and how it could help you change yours. Jim and I have taken the better part of a year to write this book because we believe in strongly in helping those who need a way out. Every day we see people who would benefit from taking charge of their lives and moving forward to achieve, inspire and make a difference. If you see a bit of yourself in my story - or in the dozens of stories we will share in this book — read on. I hope your journey is even more productive and rewarding than my own.
