IPL vein treatment at Cranley Clinic is a clinically proven, non-invasive solution for visible facial veins, redness, and capillaries. It uses carefully calibrated light energy to target haemoglobin within the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be naturally reabsorbed by the body. This process, known as selective photothermolysis, allows the light energy to precisely heat the abnormal red or dark cells while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. The result is clearer, more even-toned skin and a visibly improved complexion with minimal discomfort or downtime. Cold gel is applied to the skin during treatment to enhance comfort, and protective eyewear is provided. The smooth glass surface of the IPL handpiece delivers pulses of light that convert to heat, effectively treating redness, broken veins, and rosacea over time.

The Cranley Clinic Process

Specialist Consultation

You’ll meet with a qualified aesthetic practitioner to assess your vascular concerns and determine if IPL is the right choice for your skin type and tone.

Preparation & Skin Cooling

The skin is cleansed and a cooling gel is applied for comfort and to protect the epidermis.

Precise Light Treatment

Targeted IPL pulses are delivered to the affected areas. The light energy is absorbed by the haemoglobin in the veins, heating and collapsing the vessel walls, which are then naturally reabsorbed.

Post Treatment Care

You may experience temporary redness or warmth for several hours. Soothing products will be applied, and detailed aftercare instructions provided.

Review & Maintenance

Results are reviewed after each session. A course of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for lasting improvement.

Clinical Insight

IPL (Vein) Considerations, Clinically Addressed

Is IPL suitable for all skin types?

IPL is most effective on lighter skin tones. Darker complexions may require alternative technologies, such as the ND Yag laser, for safety and precision.

How long do results last?

Once the treated veins are reabsorbed, they do not return. However, new vessels can appear due to sun exposure, genetics, or lifestyle. Maintenance sessions may be advised.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as a light snap or warmth. Cooling gel and advanced handpiece technology minimise discomfort.

How many treatments will I need?

Visible improvement can occur after one session, but two to four treatments spaced several weeks apart usually produce optimal results.

Can I combine IPL with other treatments?

Yes. IPL can be safely combined with ND Yag laser, sclerotherapy, or skin rejuvenation procedures for a more comprehensive approach.
