What is laser vascular treatment?
Laser vascular treatment, also known as laser therapy for vascular lesions or vascular laser treatment, is a medical procedure used to treat various vascular conditions, such as spider veins, varicose veins, port wine stains, rosacea, and other vascular lesions. The procedure uses laser energy to precisely target and destroy abnormal blood vessels or skin pigmentation, while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue unharmed. This selective approach minimizes damage to nearby areas and is effective for improving the appearance of vascular irregularities.
Cynosure Elite IQ vascular treatment
The Cynosure Elite IQ is a versatile laser platform that provides multiple treatment options, including vascular treatments. It combines Alexandrite and Nd
laser technologies to address a range of skin and vascular conditions.
For vascular treatments, the Cynosure Elite IQ is commonly used to target issues like spider veins, telangiectasia (dilated blood vessels), facial flushing, and other vascular lesions. The device emits precise wavelengths of light that are absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood vessels, leading to coagulation. Over time, the treated vessels are naturally absorbed by the body, improving the appearance of the skin
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) vascular treatment
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) vascular treatment, also known as IPL photofacial or IPL photorejuvenation, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to treat a range of vascular and pigmented lesions on the skin. While IPL is frequently used for pigmentation issues like sunspots and freckles, it can also be effective for addressing vascular conditions such as telangiectasia (spider veins), rosacea, and facial flushing.
The IPL device emits pulses of broad-spectrum light that target hemoglobin (the pigment in blood vessels) and melanin (the pigment in skin lesions). The light energy is absorbed by these pigments, causing them to heat up and break apart, while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. This process helps to diminish the appearance of vascular lesions and results in clearer, more evenly toned skin.
