 VPL Treatment for red vein removal

Veins that become visible on the surface of the skin found on any part of the body, especially on the face are very unsightly. More common than not, these veins disfigure the skin’s structure. Having this condition can affect the individual confidence and self-esteem. Using variable pulse light treatment, red veins can be removed and the skin becomes rejuvenated. VPL therapy does this by letting the affected blood vessels absorb the rapid pulses of light energy released by the machine. Once inside the blood vessels the pulse light breaks down the waste products and facilitates its drainage. Doing this promotes vein healing, restoring its appearance.

The treatment process

Clients being treated are positioned comfortably, sitting or lying down. The VPL machine prepared with all the applicable settings. The red vein being treated is targeted by placing the device directly over it, allowing absorption. Once inside the blood vessels, light energy is converted into heat, waste products and haemoglobin, the contents of red vein solidifies when exposed to sufficient amounts of heat energy. When the vein’s waste products and haemoglobin are in solid form, the blood can easily filter them out by means of circulation and dead cell removal. The entire treatment process can take several sessions which can last 8 to 12 weeks.
