Is IPL Effective in Treating Rosacea?

Rosacea is a common skin disease that damages the appearance of the skin and is difficult to treat.

The best machine for treating this skin disease is IPL,

so what is IPL?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) machines are versatile tools used for a variety of skin treatments, including hair removal. IPL beauty devices emit a broad spectrum of high-intensity light at multiple wavelengths. This light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, causing it to heat up and damage the follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. Generally speaking, IPL machines are better suited for patients with lighter skin tones and darker hair, as IPL is most effective under these conditions.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is mainly used to improve rosacea with erythematous telangiectasia.

1. The preferred intense pulsed light modulation method is 590nm band yellow light, followed by 640nm band red light, which can also be used in combination.

2. The recommended minimum energy is 10J, and the best is when the skin does not feel hot. Repeat 1-3 times according to the patient's skin reaction.

If 10J is still unbearable (severe erythema, too many target chromophores leading to strong photothermal effect), the pulse width and pulse delay time can be extended.
