laser vascular reduction
Laser Vascular Reduction is a procedure that precisely treats visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, vascular lesions and discoloration of your skin. Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin condition and desired results.
What conditions can be treated?
- spider veins
- broken capillaries
- facial veins
- rosacea
What areas can be treated?
All skin areas can be treated. Popular areas are the face, neck, chest and legs.
Will it be uncomfortable?
There should be little to no discomfort, however this varies from patient to patient and depends on the depth of the treatment. Patients describe the treatment as the snapping of a rubber band on their skin.
What will happen during the procedure?
Your eyes will be protected with safety glasses. The laser light will be delivered to the area of your skin being treated. You may briefly feel a warm or hot sensation as the laser pulses are preferentially absorbed in the unwanted vessels, heating and destroying them. Your procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour depending on the size of the area to be treated.
What aftercare will I need?
Any vessels denatured by the laser will be reabsorbed by your body over a period of time in a natural cleansing process. Most small capillaries will become invisible almost immediately since they will no longer contain blood flow. Your skin will be sensitive to ultraviolet light, and you must avoid direct sun exposure. You need to fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
