Choose MaxG when redness, flushing or visible red vessels are your main concern.

What it is

MaxG is an advanced IPL handpiece optimized for vascular concerns. It delivers a concentrated wavelength band that is absorbed by hemoglobin, collapsing visible vessels and calming persistent redness.

How it works

Light is absorbed by the blood within small, dilated vessels. The vessel walls are heated and gradually reabsorbed by the body.
