Unwanted redness usually occurs on the face, neck or chest of fair skinned individuals who have had chronic sun exposure. When paired with visible blood vessels and brown freckling it is referred to as poikiloderma.
IPL treats red and brown at the same time but many treatments are required and results are usually not lasting. Redness and blood vessels can be targeted very effectively and permanently with pulsed dye laser treatments. For brown freckles, several treatment modalities can be added on the same day. Sunscreens with a broad UVA range should be used meticulously and for life to sustain your results.
