Vascular Laser Treatments

///Vascular Laser Treatments

For patients dealing with broken blood vessels, redness, and other vascular issues, Dr. Jessica Krant offers specialized vascular laser treatments that effectively address these concerns. These advanced laser therapies are designed to improve skin tone, reduce visible blood vessels, and enhance overall skin appearance.

 

Vascular Laser Treatments

V-Beam Laser

The V-Beam Laser is a pulse dye laser (PDL) that operates at 694 nm wavelength. This gentle yet powerful treatment is highly effective for treating visible blood vessels and acne scars, managing rosacea, and addressing various vascular lesions or pigmented skin imperfections like spider veins. The V-Beam Laser can significantly improve skin tone and texture while reducing redness. In some cases, it may even help diminish brown hyperpigmentation. To ensure patient comfort and protect the skin surface, the V-Beam works in conjunction with a cooling spray.

Excel V Laser

The excel V laser

is a versatile device that operates at two different wavelengths: 532 nm (KTP) and 1064 nm (Nd:YAG). This dual-wavelength capability allows Dr. Krant to target various skin concerns with precision. The excel V laser is specifically designed to address rosacea, visible veins, and dilated blood vessels. By targeting these vascular issues, the excel V laser helps patients achieve clearer, more even-toned skin. For enhanced comfort and safety, the device features a cold sapphire crystal tip that chills the skin surface during treatment, protecting it from injury.

 

The Vascular Laser Procedure

During a vascular laser treatment, pulses of laser light penetrate the outer layers of skin to reach the affected blood vessels beneath. The targeted blood vessels absorb the laser energy, causing them to be destroyed. Your body then naturally removes the damaged tissue, leading to a reduction in the appearance of vascular concerns. Each session typically takes about 15 minutes and no anesthesia is required for these laser treatments. While some patients may see significant improvements after just one treatment, multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal results.

 

Recovery and Results

Mild bruising, redness, or swelling may occur immediately after treatment, however, these symptoms typically resolve within a few days. Minimal downtime is associated with these procedures. Patients often notice improvements in skin tone and the appearance of imperfections after each treatment session. The Final results become more apparent once the full recommended treatment course is completed and desired outcomes continue to develop over the following weeks and months.

Vascular laser treatments offer an effective solution for those seeking to address visible blood vessels, redness, and other vascular skin concerns. With the expertise of Dr. Krant and the advanced technology of the V-Beam and excel V lasers, patients can achieve smoother, more even-toned skin with minimal discomfort and downtime.

 

Frequently Asked Questions about Vascular Laser Treatments

What is the strongest laser for skin?

This is a difficult question to answer for lasers in general because lasers have many different aspects that control how “strong” they feel. The wavelength (color) of the beam of energy controls what the laser targets. The amount of power generated by the device can control how deep the energy penetrates. And the size and shape of the beam is also a factor in depth and what gets heated. The fact that lasers are truly complex physics devices with many considerations to keep in mind so that they are both effective and safe means that only experienced, trained physicians who have studied and been credentialed in skin biology should be using them. And if not the physician personally, then a directly supervised, legally credentialed laser associate who works under the physician.

What type of laser is most effective?

Effectiveness of laser treatment has to do with several factors including choosing the right laser device with the correct wavelength (color) energy beam for the intended target while also keeping the surrounding skin safe. Other factors include the power of the laser, whether the beam is continuous or fractionated, and the shape and timing of the laser pulse itself. No one single laser device can treat all skin issues.

What conditions can vascular lasers treat?

Vascular means “related to blood vessels”. Vascular lasers treat blood-vessel related skin conditions such as rosacea, angiomas, cherry angiomas, spider angiomas, hemangiomas, broken capillaries, broken blood vessels, spider veins, varicose veins, under eye veins, birthmarks, chronic sun damage, telangiectasias, and other conditions related to blood vessels.

What’s the difference between the V-Beam and the excel V?

The VBeam brand laser is a pulse dye laser that uses a wavelength of 595 nanometers (nm) to target certain vascular (blood vessel) conditions. The Excel V laser contains two wavelengths, 532 and 1064 nm, which basically target different “colors” of red. Together they can cover most vascular issues.

Do vascular laser treatments hurt?

Vascular laser treatments generally do not need, nor do well with, numbing, and are generally well tolerated. Each vascular laser comes with its own style of skin cooling to make the laser pulse feel more comfortable and also to protect the skin surface from heat injury.

How long does a vascular laser session take?

Vascular laser sessions with Excel V and VBeam laser can take from a few seconds to a few minutes. They are not very long treatment sessions.

Is vascular laser treatment safe for all skin types?

Vascular lasers do heat the skin so caution is needed with all skin types, but especially with darker skin tones. Heat injury in the surface of the skin may lead to discoloration. The lasers have settings to reduce risk, but should only be operated by very experienced, properly trained physicians who have credentials in skin health and biology.

Is there a best time of year for vascular laser treatment?

As long as you avoid direct sun exposure during the healing period, vascular lasers can be performed at any time of year, but winter does make it easier to avoid sun.

Can vascular laser treatment be combined with other cosmetic treatments?

Vascular lasers can easily be combined with other laser treatments, and are often also combineable with injectable treatments, depending on your dermatologist’s protocols for safety and side effect management. Discuss a personalized plan with your own dermatologist.
