"Broken" blood vessels gradually appear on the face as a result of
sun-exposure, Rosacea, heredity, or a combination of these factors. Patients
are sometimes concerned about giving the impression of being heavy drinkers.
Camouflage of the blood vessels with make-up becomes increasingly
time-consuming and difficult. These blood vessles can be significantly
improved, if not completely removed, by non-invasive treatments with the
Coolglide laser. This state-of-the-art laser is used in the office and
selectively targets the blood vessels in the skin without breaking the skin
surface. The treatment is followed by mild swelling and pinkness for 1-2 days.
The blood vessels gradually improve after a few treatments, which are spaced 6
weeks apart. With the blood vessels removed, the original appearance of the
skin without "broken" blood vessles is restored.
"Spider angiomas" which commonly occur in children and in some women after a
pregnancy are also effectively treated with the Verapulse laser.
"Portwine stains" in children and adults respond very well to
the versapulse laser. The laser is highly effective for port wine stains on the
face. Those on the other parts of the body respond well, but the lower the
location on the body; e.g. the leg, the more difficult they are to eradicate
completely.
