IPL (CPL) Rosacea
Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that usually affects the face. Rosacea worsens with time if left untreated. Symptoms include visible blood vessels in your face and a flushed, red appearance. It can often be mistaken for acne, eczema, or a skin allergy.
Rosacea tends to begin after middle age (between 30 and 60 years old). It’s more common in fair-skinned individuals and women during menopause but can affect any age. It’s recommended to have a diagnosis from your dermatologist for treatment.
IPL rosacea treatment
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. While IPL is widely recognised, at Eleni London, we elevate the game with CPL. Calibrated Pulsed Light offers a more controlled experience, minimising downtime and maximising results.
They are short, safe bursts of light gently directed at your skin. Our system meticulously filters this light, ensuring that specific wavelengths are absorbed by the haemoglobin in problem vessels. The magic happens when the light converts to heat, effectively destroying the protein in the vessel walls. Gradually, these vessels fade away, leaving you with clearer, more radiant skin.
But wait, there’s more! Our CPL device isn’t just about vanishing vessels. The light energy also heats the collagen fibres in your skin, stimulating the production of fresh collagen. This results in improved skin texture, elasticity, and blood flow—all in one treatment.

Does IPL (CPL) Rosacea Treatment Hurt?
IPL or CPL treatments are not painful. You may experience a heating sensation, or feel as if your skin is being flicked with an elastic band.
Most people find this sensation very tolerable, however, if you are sensitive to pain or worried about your procedure then speak to your practitioner. They may be able to apply a local anaesthetic lotion to the treatment areas beforehand.
How many IPL (CPL) Rosacea Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments required will depend on the severity of your rosacea. For most clients, we recommend a course of 5 treatments, carried out every 4 weeks. After this, we recommend 1-2 treatments per year to maintain results in the long-term. However, we will create a treatment plan for you based on your individual situation.
How Soon Will I See Results?
You will begin to see improvements within a week.
Results may vary after each treatment, but your best results will be seen around 4 months after the last treatment in your course.
How Long Will My Results Last?
Your results will last between 12-18 months, after which you can return for a top-up treatment.
We recommend avoiding sun exposure – if you are in the sun a lot and you do not use sun protection, your rosacea symptoms may return.
