Types of laser used

Alexandrite Laser (755 nm) Best suited for lighter skin types, the Alexandrite laser operates at a 755 nm wavelength, making it highly effective for hair removal and treating pigmented skin lesions. Nd:YAG Laser (1064 nm) With a 1064 nm wavelength, the Nd:YAG laser is versatile and safe for all skin types. It is commonly used for hair removal, tattoo removal, and skin resurfacing.

costs in montreal

The cost of vascular lesion treatment in Montreal can vary based on factors such as the clinic's reputation, the complexity of the lesion, and the treatment method used. It's essential to consult with multiple clinics and get detailed quotes to understand the current market rates. Always ensure the clinic is reputable and uses Canada approved technology or methods for the safest results.

how it works?

The Candela GentleMax targets vascular lesions using specific wavelengths of laser energy that are absorbed by the blood vessels. This absorbed energy heats up the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be naturally reabsorbed by the body. Over time and with the right number of sessions, the appearance of the vascular lesion diminishes, leaving clearer skin.

Safety measures

When treating vascular lesions with a Candela GentleMax device, it's imperative to wear appropriate eye protection, as laser exposure can harm the retina. The skin should be assessed beforehand to determine the correct settings and ensure the laser's efficacy without causing burns or hyperpigmentation. Finally, cooling methods, either integrated within the device or applied externally, should be used to protect the outer skin layer and minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Laser vascular lesions treatment in montreal

A vascular lesion treatment targets blood vessel-related imperfections on the skin, such as spider veins, port-wine stains, and hemangiomas. Utilizing methods like laser therapy or sclerotherapy, the treatment either collapses or shrinks these unwanted vessels, resulting in clearer skin.

The Science Behind Vascular Lesions and Their Effective Treatments

It’s natural for veins or blood vessels to be noticeable beneath our skin. However, with age, these veins can become more pronounced. Factors like prolonged standing, trauma, and excess weight can lead to spider veins or varicose veins, predominantly in the legs. For many, these visible veins are not just an aesthetic concern but can also cause pain.

At Reimagine Clinic, we harness the power of the Candela GentleMax laser, equipped with two wavelengths – the 755nm Alexandrite laser and the 1064nm Nd:YAG. This advanced technology allows us to effectively treat a range of vascular lesions, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for our clients.

FAQ

The GentleMax laser is an advanced medical device that combines two fast and powerful lasers: the Alexandrite and the Nd:YAG. It works by delivering a beam of laser light to the targeted vein or vascular lesion. The light is absorbed by the blood, converted into heat, and this heat damages the blood vessel walls, causing the vein to gradually disappear.

Most patients describe the sensation as a series of rubber band snaps against the skin. The GentleMax laser incorporates a cooling mechanism, which helps minimize discomfort. Additionally, the treatment is quick, often lasting only a few minutes.

The number of treatments varies based on the size, color, and location of the vascular lesion. On average, patients require 1-3 sessions, but some lesions may require more treatments for optimal results.

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site. These usually resolve within a few days. It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure after treatment to prevent skin discoloration.

For smaller vascular lesions, results can often be seen immediately after treatment. Larger veins or lesions may take a few weeks to months to show the full effect. The treated veins gradually fade and are reabsorbed by the body.

Yes, the dual-wavelength system of the GentleMax laser allows it to be safe and effective for a wide range of skin types. However, a consultation is always recommended to assess individual suitability and expected outcomes.
