Will red blood vessels recur after IPL treatment?

Generally speaking, whether telangiectasia recurs after intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment mainly depends on the severity and underlying cause of the telangiectasia. If the condition is mild and caused by acquired factors, recurrence after treatment is uncommon. However, if the condition is severe or caused by genetic factors, recurrence may occur after treatment. If any discomfort arises, seek medical attention promptly and undergo symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. The detailed explanation is as follows:

If a patient's telangiectasia is relatively mild and caused by acquired factors such as dietary habits or lifestyle, it may not recur after IPL treatment. This is because mild symptoms indicate less capillary dilation or proliferation, which can be more thoroughly improved through treatment. Additionally, if the patient maintains healthy lifestyle habits and proper skincare, and avoids irritating factors, the treatment results can be long-lasting.

However, if the patient's telangiectasia is severe or genetically determined, recurrence after treatment is possible. Severe telangiectasia involves more extensive capillary dilation or proliferation, making it more challenging to treat. Even after treatment, not all abnormal blood vessels may be completely eliminated. For individuals with a family history, telangiectasia may recur more easily even after treatment due to the genetic predisposition.

To ensure safety and effectiveness, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. Long-term care and maintenance are also required after treatment, such as regular moisturizing, sun protection, and avoiding factors that may trigger recurrence of telangiectasia.
