Laser Vein Treatment
Cosmetic
surgery has entered a new world of technology. This
enables the doctor to offer treatments and therapies
to patients that were only dreams a few years ago. The
treatment of cosmetic leg veins with the latest LASER
technology is a prime example of this rapidly developing
area in medicine.
|
Until recently the problem of cosmetic
leg veins
was treated only by sclerotherapy.
In many cases this is highly effective. We now use laser technology
in conjunction with sclerotherapy to get the best results
for our patients.
It would be helpful for you to understand
some of the factors surrounding the treatment. The basis of
the technology is the specific wavelength of the light beam
produced by the laser.
Through the years of research it has
been shown that the substance, depending on its color, will
absorb light of a certain wavelength. As the vessel we are
trying to eliminate is filled with blood, it will readily
absorb light emitted by the laser. Over time, the lining deteriorates
and the vessel occludes and shrinks. It is important to remember
that these blood vessels are not essential for normal circulation.
The beauty of this concept is that the overlying skin is not
damaged in the process.
As a side effect of the treatment we
sometimes see bruising, and hyperpigmentation or darkening
of the skin caused by the vessels actually rupturing. When
this occurs small amounts of blood are seen under the skin
and it is usually resolved within a few weeks to months.

At The Scottsdale Cosmetic Health Insitute we use both the Candela Vbeam
pulse dye laser and the Sciton long pulse Nd-Yag laser
for our laser vein treatments.

Facial Veins and Redness
Whether
you're a man or a woman, you may have noticed fine,
little red veins on the nose, chin, or cheeks that weren't
there before. These are telangiectasias or facial spider
veins, and they appear on both men and women as a normal
part of aging. They can also result from pregnancy,
childbirth, birth-control pills, estrogen-replacement
therapy, sun damage, rosacea, and even corticosteroids.
Although not usually a medical problem, telangiectasias
can be an aesthetic one that make-up usually doesn't
cover adequately.

Utilizing several
laser technologies we are able to significantly diminish
facial spider veins and rosacea in 1-4 quick, painless
sessions. The results can go a long way to improving
ones skin tone and reverse the appearance of chronic
sundamaged skin. When combined with other treatments
such as mesotherapy, chemical peels and medical grade
prescription skin care you won't believe what is possible.
