Laser vascular lesions

How Laser Treatment Works

Our laser treatments utilize the principle of selective photothermolysis, delivering precise laser energy to the targeted blood vessels without affecting the surrounding tissues. The laser light is absorbed by the hemoglobin within the blood vessels, causing them to heat up and collapse. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs these vessels, resulting in clearer, healthier-looking skin.

The Candela GentleMax system offers adjustable pulse durations, allowing us to customize the treatment for different types of vascular lesions, including tiny blood vessels on the skin surface and deeper vessels like reticular veins and varicose veins. This ensures an effective treatment for various skin types and vascular conditions.

Immediate and Long-Term Results

Immediate Effects: Post-treatment, smaller veins are often removed immediately.

Gradual Improvement: For larger spider veins and reticular veins, the full effects become visible after one to three months.

Multiple Treatments: Depending on the severity, a series of multiple treatments (typically 3-4 sessions) may be necessary to completely diminish the appearance of larger veins.

Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the laser procedure and can resume normal activities shortly after the treatment.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Our Candela GentleMax laser is adept at addressing a broad spectrum of vascular lesions and skin conditions, including:

• Rosacea and facial telangiectasias (visible tiny blood vessels on the face)

• Port wine stains and other vascular birthmarks

• Venous lakes (small, dark blue papules commonly found on the lips or ears)

• Redness in scars and skin discoloration

• Pigmented lesions like freckles and dark spots

• Hemangiomas (benign vascular lesions)

• Sun-damaged skin

• Fine wrinkles

We also offer treatments for:

• Hair Removal: Effective for various skin types using the same advanced laser technology.

• Bruising: Post-surgical procedures and injections can cause bruising, which our lasers can help diminish.

The Advantages of Laser Vascular Treatments

Pros:

• Targeted Treatment: Our vascular lasers specifically target blood vessels causing vascular lesions without affecting surrounding tissue.

• Minimal Downtime: Patients can typically resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.

• Safe and Effective: With our advanced laser systems, the procedure is both safe and yields effective results.

• Non-Invasive: The treatment is relatively painless, eliminating the need for anesthesia or surgery.

Cons:

• Require Multiple Treatments: Depending on the severity, multiple treatments may be necessary for optimal results.

• Temporary Side Effects: Some patients might experience temporary redness, swelling, or darkening of spots in the treated area.

• Sun Sensitivity: It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen for 3-4 weeks post-treatment to ensure the best healing.

• Skin Type Considerations: While our lasers are effective for many skin types, treatment is most suitable for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-III. Darker skin types may require alternative approaches.

Preparing for Your Laser Treatment

Prior to the laser treatment, a thorough physical exam will be conducted to assess the vascular lesions and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. We advise patients to:

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure and tanning beds before and after treatment.

• Discontinue Certain Supplements: Avoid fish oil supplements and medications that may increase bleeding risk, such as blood thinners.

• Follow Pre-Treatment Instructions: Our team will provide specific guidelines to prepare your skin for the procedure.

Post-Treatment Care:

• Antibiotic Ointment: Applying an antibiotic ointment to the treated area may be recommended.

• Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen: Use a sunscreen with high SPF to protect the skin.

• Monitor the Treated Area: Watch for any unusual reactions and inform us if you have concerns.

Understanding Vascular Lesions

Vascular lesions are abnormalities of the skin and underlying tissues that result from blood vessels that have formed incorrectly. These include:

• Benign Vascular Lesions: Such as hemangiomas and port wine stains.

• Cutaneous Vascular Lesions: Like spider veins and telangiectasias.

• Vascular Skin Lesions: Manifest as redness or discoloration on the skin surface.

Our laser treatments are designed to effectively treat vascular lesions by directing light energy precisely to the affected areas.
