Vascular lesions

VASCULAR LESIONS INCLUDE:

• Telangiectasia:
  Tiny capillaries that appear near the surface of the face. They may be red, blue or purple in color. Also known as Spider Veins.
• Rosacea:
  Inflammation and swelling of the face.

PULSED LIGHT: HOW DOES IT WORK?

Pulses of concentrated light are directed onto the skin and absorbed by the blood (for vascular lesion treatment). Pulsed light systems are similar to lasers, but with a larger, more diffuse beam for safe, fast, and comfortable treatments.

REJUVELUX VASCULAR LESION TREATMENTS

RejuveLux light pulses heat the small capillaries that cause telangiectasia, Rosacea and other vascular lesions. The heat shrinks these capillaries, which may redden or become gray after treatment. They then fade from view after approximately ten days.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. What is a benign vascular lesion?
A. Benign vascular lesions are overgrown enlarged blood vessels or multiple small vessels. There is a way to treat these vessels, safely, easily and effectively with the Vascular Lesion Laser by targeting the red blood cells which in turn heat and damage the vessels.

Q. Will RejuveLux Treatments Hurt?
A. RejuveLux uses a unique long pulsewidth that delivers energy to the skin over a relatively long period of time without overheating the epidermis. This makes the pulses safer and more comfortable. You may experience a feeling similar to that of a rubber band being snapped on the skin, but most people do not report this sensation as painful

Q. Are There Any Adverse Reactions to Treatment?
A. You may experience temporary redness and a mild “sunburn”- like effect that may last a few hours to a few days.

Q. What are RejuveLux treatment sessions like?
A. Quick and easy! After your initial preparation, your treatment provider will move the Palomar pulsed light handpiece over your skin. The handpiece emits a light that breaks up the pigment in the lesions. Most people perceive the light as a gentle "snapping" sensation, which causes little to no discomfort.

Q. What should I expect after treatment?
A. Pigmented lesions will darken slightly after treatment, and then fade away after about 10-14 days.

Vessels (visible veins) generally undergo immediate graying or blanching and the surrounding area may redden. The vessels then fade after about 10-14 days.

Most people experience some mild temporary redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, in the treated area shortly after treatment. This does not interfere with normal activities and usually subsides within a day. In some cases, the redness may last longer, but will still be mild and temporary. We will explain other, less likely side effects to you.

Q. What is the difference between RejuveLux pulsed light and laser treatments?
A. Pulsed-light systems and lasers are very similar and treat lesions in basically the same way. However, the RejuveLux process uses a new technology that removes lesions much faster then lasers. RejuveLux treatments can fit even the busiest person's schedule.
