Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness, flushing and visible blood vessels on the face. There is no cure, but the symptoms can be controlled. If you live in Laugharne and the redness bothers you, IPL treatment at our Llanelli clinic can help to calm it and even out your skin tone.

Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is in the centre of Llanelli. We are a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and we have been treating clients since 2016.

Every client starts with a free consultation. There’s no pressure and no sales pitch, just an honest view of what treatment can and can’t do for you.

What Is Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic condition of the facial skin, marked by persistent redness, flushing episodes and small, visible blood vessels. Clients from Laugharne often find exposure to wind and weather on the coast makes their symptoms worse.

It comes and goes, with triggers including heat, sun, alcohol, spicy food and stress. Rosacea has no cure, but treatment can control how it looks.

We’re a doctor-led clinic in Llanelli, registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and we use the Lynton Lumina IPL to treat rosacea from £30 a session.

How IPL Treatment for Rosacea Works

Illustration: the light is absorbed by the haemoglobin in the blood inside the tiny vessels, heating it until it coagulates. The redness may look darker at first, then over the following weeks the body clears the vessels and the skin calms. © Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic.

Our Lynton Lumina IPL system, used within the NHS and approved in the NHS Supply Chain, sends light into the skin where haemoglobin in the small vessels absorbs it. The vessels heat up and collapse.

In the weeks after treatment, the body removes these vessels and redness reduces. Because the light is drawn to the vessels, the surrounding skin is largely unaffected.

What Results to Expect

Redness and visible vessels usually reduce noticeably, though IPL doesn’t cure rosacea and results vary from person to person.

Expect three to six sessions for a significant improvement and maintenance every few months. Treatment suits skin types up to Fitzpatrick type 4; we can’t treat tanned skin.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

About 30 minutes: per session, depending on the area
Mild sensation: warmth or tingling that passes when treatment ends
A course: three to six sessions for a significant improvement
Maintenance: a top-up every few months as needed
Little downtime: avoid heat for 24 to 48 hours
Honest advice: if IPL isn’t right for you, we’ll suggest alternatives

Your Free Consultation

At your consultation, we look at the redness and visible vessels, check your skin type and talk through your triggers and medical history.

You’ll know whether treatment is right for you, roughly how many sessions to expect and the price before deciding anything.

To secure your appointment we take a £30 deposit. It comes off the price of your treatment, or we refund it in full if you decide not to go ahead. Please read our cancellation policy before you book.

Before and After Your Treatment

Before you come in

Come with the area clean: no make-up, perfume, deodorant, or body or face creams.
No real or fake tan on the area. Sunbeds and prolonged sun exposure are not allowed in the month before treatment, and any tan must fade completely before we can treat.
Avoid retinol creams on the area for 14 days before treatment.
Use SPF 50 on the area between treatments, or keep it covered.
Tell us about any change to your medical history, and any medication you take, including anything bought from a chemist or herbalist.
Arrive in good time, so we can cool the skin first if needed.
We may charge for an appointment that cannot go ahead because of a tan or fake tan.

After each session

The area may look red and raised and may tingle. This is normal and settles over the next few days.
If the area still feels hot at home, use a cold flannel or cool pack. Do not put ice or ice packs directly on the skin.
Occasionally there is swelling or bruising, which can last from one or two days up to one or two weeks. Swelling is usually worst one to two days after treatment. For the face, sleep with your head raised on pillows.
A bruise may appear on the treated area. It can last up to 15 days, and as it fades it may leave a brown mark that usually goes within one to three months.
Larger vessels can look darker at first. This can take up to four weeks to clear as the body reabsorbs them.
Make-up can be applied after several hours if the skin is not sore or broken. Remove it gently, without rubbing.
For 24 to 48 hours, avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, steam rooms, strenuous exercise and anything that raises your body temperature.
Wash as normal, but take cool showers and pat the skin dry. Apply aloe vera gel 3 times a day for up to a week. If it feels uncomfortable, treat it as you would sunburn.
For a month after treatment, keep the area covered or use SPF 50. Sun on treated skin can cause sunburn and dark patches.
If the skin blisters, contact us straight away. Keep the area clean and dry, do not pick it, and do not use lotions or creams on open skin.
