Treatment of Vascular Lesions
The target chromophore for the treatment of vascular lesions is hemoglobin. The IPL light pulse is absorbed in the dark-red, oxygen-rich blood of the vessel by the haemoglobin and converted into heat.
This heat clots the blood and “welds” the vessel shut. The body’s lymphatic system breaks down the coagulated blood into its constituent parts and the body transports it away naturally leaving a more radiant clear skin.
