Laser removal of enlarged capillaries
About
Laser removal of dilated capillaries is a cosmetic procedure that uses highly concentrated light to target the removal of dilated capillaries and blood vessels on the surface of the skin. This procedure is usually used to reduce the visibility of enlarged capillaries on the face, legs or other parts of the body.
Candidate
People who have enlarged capillaries on their skin and want to reduce their visibility may be candidates for laser removal of enlarged capillaries.
Preparation
Before the procedure, a skin examination will be conducted, and the doctor will discuss expectations and potential risks with the patient. It may also be recommended to avoid sun exposure and use specific creams to prepare the skin for the treatment.
Treatment
During the treatment, highly concentrated light is directed at the dilated capillaries, heating them and causing them to narrow or close. The procedure is usually quick and relatively painless, and patients may experience mild discomfort or burning during the treatment.
Result
After the treatment, the dilated capillaries become less visible or completely recede from the surface of the skin. Results are usually gradually noticed over several weeks after treatment.
Precautions
After treatment, patients should avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the treated area. It is also important to follow your doctor's instructions on skin care after treatment and avoid aggressive rubbing or scratching of the treated area. In rare cases, slight redness, swelling or tenderness of the skin may occur, but these symptoms usually disappear within a few days.
F.A.Q.
Laser removal of enlarged capillaries is a non-invasive procedure that uses targeted laser energy to treat and eliminate visible enlarged blood vessels, such as spider veins or broken capillaries, from the skin.
The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the blood in the capillaries, causing the blood to coagulate and the vessel to collapse. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vessel, making it less visible or completely fading it.
The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only minimal discomfort. Some individuals may feel a mild stinging or snapping sensation during the treatment.
The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of the capillaries and individual response to the treatment. In many cases, multiple sessions may be needed for best results.
Laser removal of enlarged capillaries is commonly performed on the face, legs, and other areas with visible capillaries.
There is usually little to no downtime after the procedure. Patients can typically resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.
Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified professional.
The results of laser removal of enlarged capillaries can be long-lasting. However, new capillaries may form over time, requiring occasional maintenance treatments.
Lasers used for capillary removal are often safe and effective for various skin types, but it is essential to consult with a dermatologist to determine if the procedure is suitable for your specific skin condition.
Your healthcare provider will provide you with post-treatment care instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using sunscreen, and keeping the treated area moisturized to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications.
