Unsightly veins? The laser is the solution with the best results
The base of the nose, the décolletage, the calves. Seemingly unrelated parts of the body. In practice, the ones most prone to vascular conditions. And while on the face and the neck we are talking about fine vascular dilations, on the legs what usually appears are visible bluish venectasias, which we want corrected and treated.
Vascular dilations appear when, on a genetically predisposed ground, the vessel wall loses its elasticity and widens under the action of several factors. These may be: standing for long periods, sitting in a chair for hours at a time without a break, constantly exposing sensitive areas to sources of heat (the sun, the sauna, hot baths, warm wraps), pregnancy, aggressive massage, and sports involving a sudden stop on the foot (jumping). These causes are hard to avoid, so prevention is just as hard where vascular dilations are concerned. What we can do for the health of our skin is to turn to the best dermatologists and the best laser technologies to give it back its healthy, good appearance.
”Treatments with the CUTERA XEO laser: safe and effective”
In the case of small vascular dilations, with a vessel diameter of up to 2–3 mm, the type, the intensity and the length of the treatments vary from patient to patient depending on the kind of lesion and on the size of the affected area. This is why treating them professionally means an accurate diagnosis, an assessment of the skin type and the choice of the appropriate treatment. Some lesions, of http://www.achaten-suisse.com/ the broken superficial capillary kind, are easier to treat, while others usually call for several treatment sessions.
Vascular dilations are lesions that now have a safe and effective treatment, based on therapies with the CUTERA XEO laser. The CUTERA system delivers laser pulses that make the blood inside the vessel coagulate, and may destroy that vessel, which the body then reabsorbs. The blood flow is thus redirected towards the deep veins.
”The results become visible over time”
After the treatment, the area may be erythematous (reddish) until the following day, and a few bruised patches may appear. The patient needs no recovery period and can carry on as usual immediately after the treatment. Even so, it is advisable to keep the treated area out of the sun and away from sunbeds for a while.
The treatment does not hurt; most patients feel a stinging sensation as the laser pulse lands. Although local anaesthesia and painkillers are not needed, patients may still opt for them. After the treatment there is minimal pain or none at all. Even though many patients notice a significant improvement in appearance after 4 to 6 weeks, a smooth leg with no bluish marks may only become visible after a few months.
