Vascular Laser Treatments
How it Works
Broken blood vessels, large red lesions, and spider veins are all vascular problems that can be unattractive and keep you from looking your best. Here at Summers Aesthetics we have laser treatments that can help improve these troublesome lesions with just a few treatments and little down time.
At Summers Aesthetics we use a long pulse yag laser to treat small vascular lesions on the face and body. This type of laser uses controlled energy pulses that are absorbed by hemoglobin in the vessel and converts it to heat. The blood within the vessel coagulates causing the wall of the vessel to collapse. The lymphatic system reabsorbs the vessel over time.
Facial and body vascular treatments target visible redness from broken capillaries and vascular lesions. This laser treats telangiectasis, cherry angiomas, venous lakes and spider angiomas. Using the long pulse Yag laster these we are able to precisely address unwanted blood vessels while protecting surrounding skin.
Benefits
- Targeted Precision: Lasers focus on hemoglobin in blood vessels to collapse them without harming nearby tissue.
- Visible Redness Reduction: Improves skin clarity and generalized redness caused by telangiectasis on the face.
- Safe for Various Skin Types: This device is safe for all Fitzpatrick types, however a consultation is needed to ensure you are a good candidate for a vascular laser treatment.
- Minimal Downtime: Most clients resume normal activity after treatment. We do recommend to avoid exercise for 48 hours after treatment. Sunscreen is essential and avoiding direct sunlight for 4 weeks to the treated area is also recommended.
