Most of us know that lasers, which produce a single wavelength of light, are used in medicine to treat many conditions, in particular unwanted hair, blood vessels, dark spots and tattoos on the skin. A related technology called "Intense Pulsed Light" (also known as "IPL") is also very useful for some skin conditions, and is sometimes used in combination with laser treatment.

Some patients report that after they have had several IPL treatments they blush less easily than before, and this can be wonderful bonus.

Because many people mistakenly regard a ruddy complexion or a red nose as a possible sign of alcohol abuse, correction of these cosmetic problems can affect not only a persons appearance but also their business and social prospects. Reduction in easy blushing can also improve the way the world sees and treats an individual. People who have rosacea should also take care to protect themselves from sun damage, and should apply a prescription cream like Rosasol™, which has both medication and sunscreen it.

Intense pulsed light is also used to make the skin more clear by removing the brown residue, freckles and "liver spots" which accumulate after years of sun exposure.
