The tiniest veins can be zapped with a laser. The beam destroys the walls of the veins (it will feel like a few quick rubber-band snaps), causing them to disappear within about two weeks.

The vascular laser can treat vascular lesions such as telangiectasias or spider veins, port wine stain birthmarks, and strawberry hemangiomas. Leg veins up to 2 mm. in width can be eliminated.

In any case, the best treatment for vascular lesions is laser treatment which is highly dependent on the location, extent, and rate of growth of the lesion. The lesions are removed by light absorbed by the blood that destroys the vessel. After some time, the vessel disappears restoring the skin’s natural appearance. Lasers allow for quick treatment of vascular lesions without damaging the surrounding skin. Topical anesthesia or ice may be applied to the lesion prior to laser treatment for maximum comfort. Lasers are safe, producing gradual results. Large lesions may require multiple treatments for full repair, but in most cases a single treatment will suffice. Laser treatment has very few side effects. Temporary discoloration of the affected skin may result from treatments. This discoloration can last anywhere from 5-14 days depending on the location, size, and type of lesion being treated. The use of sunscreen on the treated area is recommended.

/0 Comments/in /by

Pigmented lesions are brown spots that can occur on the face, neck, shoulders, hands and any part of the body. Laser treatment can restore your skin without pain or downtime. We use today’s most advanced technology, including the Sciton Joule platform with BroadBand Light, Erbium Micro Laser Peel and the most sophisicated fractional technology – Sciton Profractional for optimal results. hyperpigmentation

BroadBand Light (BBL) technology and Micro Laser Peel (MLP) treat sun-damaged and aging skin effectively. The light energy delivered by the BBL will gently be absorbed by the unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions in the upper layers of the skin. Over the next few days the pigmented lesions will darken and fall off. Micro Laser Peel works differently. It is an intra-epidermal laser peel that precisely remove the outermost layers of the skin. Pigmented lesions can be removed by full-face or spot-treat superficial resurfacing. Either procedure allows patients to experience quick recovery with smoother, healthier, more vibrant skin, and an immediate change in skin texture and tightness.

You can blame the sun for most of those “age spots” that have crept onto your complexion and stolen the youthful look of your skin. Lasers are the ideal way to quickly remove these blemishes. Laser therapy can specifically target the scattered brown spots that arise from sun damage over the face, chest and hands, including so-called liver spots on the hands, small brown spots or age spots on the face and chest, freckles and freckle-like spots on the face and elsewhere. We will discuss all of your options and help you determine which device is right for you and how many treatments you will require. These treatments produce only mild discomfort, but numbing cream may be used if you desire. The laser device quickly delivers energy that is absorbed by the pigmented lesion, the dark spot will change color and slough off. The healthy new skin underneath may be pink for a few weeks, but this will return to normal. Since these treatments only remove the surface color, the skin underneath is left unharmed. There is no downtime, and patients typically return to normal activities following their treatments.

[accordion items=”How does the laser treatment work?|What are the risks of having laser treatment?|Is there any preparation I need to know about?|What happens before treatment?|What happens during treatment?|What happens after treatment?|What to expect once home?” title=”Commonly Asked Questions”] [acc_item title=”How does the laser treatment work?”]Pigmented lesions are darker in colour than normal skin because melanin is abnormally concentrated in one area of the skin. Pigmented lesions could be birthmarks, flat moles or various freckles and sun spots. Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin, dark pigment in the skin. This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the skin cells being targeted destroying them, while leaving the surrounding normal skin unaffected.[/acc_item] [acc_item title=”What are the risks of having laser treatment?”]The results of laser treatment depend on the depth of the melanin and the colour of the lesion and several treatments may be required. Some lesions do not disappear completely, but will be significantly lighter in colour after treatment. Sunblock should be worn for at least 6 weeks after treatment, and then you should avoid excessive sun exposure. Blistering and crusting of skin sometimes occurs. If this happens, you must not pick or scratch the area to avoid permanent scarring.[/acc_item] [acc_item title=”Is there any preparation I need to know about?”]Avoid the sun for 4-6 weeks before and after treatment, and during any treatment courses. You may develop hypopigmentation (white spots) after treatment if skin is tanned. The use of selftanning products must be discontinued one week before treatment. If you wear make up on the treatment area, you have to remove it. Treated skin must be clean and dry.[/acc_item] [acc_item title=”What happens before treatment?”]When you arrive you will meet the member of staff treating you. They will explain the treatment for you, and obtain a written consent from you unless this already has been done on previous clinic visits. Photographs may be taken of the area to be treated so that progress can be monitored. Local anaesthetic may be used if necessary. The skin in the area to be treated is cleaned before starting. The laser practitioner will choose the right treatment parameters for you and calibrate the laser machine.[/acc_item] [acc_item title=”What happens during treatment?”]You and the laser practitioner will wear safety eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser light. Your practitioner will guide the laser to the treatment areas with a small handpiece. A treatment can take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Often the strength of the laser pulse is changed depending on the reaction on skin and patient comfort. Most patients do not find the treatment too painful. Local anaesthetic cream can be used if you find it too painful.[/acc_item] [acc_item title=”What happens after treatment?”]Immediately after the treatment, there will be redness and mild swelling on the treatment. The treated lesion will appear darker in color and may look shriveled. This is normal. The area can be cooled using cold compresses. Aloe vera gel is also applied to the lasered area[/acc_item] [acc_item title=”What to expect once home?”]Some light crusting of the skin may occur. Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin to avoid permanent scarring. The treated area may appear brown, crusty or red for a few days. Once the crusting falls off, the skin underneath will be pink. You can continue applying aloe vera gel or non-scented hypo-allergenic moisturizer to soothe any irritation and to moisturize. Treat the area gently. You may resume use of your usual creams/ lotions/ make-up once the irritation/ redness/ crusting clears. Avoid exercise for 24 hours after treatment. Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of dark pigmentation. Always use sunblock (SPF 30 or higher) throughout the course of your treatment. If you do not follow this advice, you may suffer burning, blistering, scarring and permanent pigment changes.[/acc_item] [/accordion]

Phototherapydfdfdf

Sciton Joule BBL (BroadBand Light) technology utilizes the power of pulsed light to deliver excellent phototherapy results. By selecting the appropriate wavelength or filter, we are able to treat a broad range of skin conditions caused by skin aging and sun exposure.

BBL is an innovative technology that sets new standards for skin conditions associated with aging, active life-styles, and sun damage. BBL energy allows your aesthetic professional to precisely treat age and sun spots, small facial veins, and many other skin conditions. Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin type and your desired results. The light energy delivered by the BBL gently heats the upper layers of the skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas coagulates tissue to variable depth. This process helps restore the skin to its natural stage. In addition, the photothermal energy targets and eliminates many of the fine vessels that cause redness and the unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions.

If you’re considering a treatment and are interested in learning how the Sciton Phototherapy can help to quickly reverse the signs of aging, please schedule a free consultation at European Style Aesthetics in Manhattan and Brooklyn, NY by calling us at 212-535-1201.
