|
| Descriptions: |
- Abnormally
dilated blood vessels associated with a number of diseases. Could
occur anywhere on the body.
- Abnormally
dilated blood vessels associated with a number of diseases. Could
occur anywhere on the face or legs.
- Flat
brown spot that appears because of the accumulation of lipofuscin
(naturally occurring dark brown pigment soluble in fat) in the
tissue unrelated to sun exposure, often malignant
(cancerous).
- A
skin disorder characterized by flat patches of increased
pigmentation, associated with aging and/or sun exposure. Although
most frequently called 'Liver Spots', they are unrelated to the
liver or liver function. They may also be called 'Age Spots'.
- Visible
creases in the skin associated with aging process.
- Age
related superficial skin inconsistencies.
|
What
to Expect:
(Immediately after
Treatment) |
- As
the laser energy is applied, the vessel will disappear. Several
seconds later it will be replaced with erythema (redness) which will
fade within a few days (face) or weeks (legs)
- Full
disappearance of the vessels with the onset of surrounding erythema
(reddening), which fades within a few days.
- Full
vaporization with light graying of tissue at treatment time. The
area turns darker within a few hours and flakes off in about one
week. If the pigment is diffuse or light brown, the end point is not
as obvious, however, the lesion should turn darker and flake off as
normal.
- Same as above (#3).
- Epidermis
is completely vaporized during the first pass. Several passes may be
applied based on the desired result. Immediate persistent redness
and swelling should be observed.
- Light
graying effect as a result of laser application. After wiping the
area, skin should exhibit light redness consistent with newly tanned
skin.
|
Expected
Final
Outcome: |
- Full
resolution. May need several treatments to completely eliminate
vessels.
- Usually
takes only one treatment. Improvement is immediate with continuous
enhancement for two weeks. New vessels may occur, depending on sun
exposure and heredity.
- Full
resolution. Dark brown lentigines may require two or more
treatments.
- Same as above (#3).
- Severe
redness for first week, subsiding gradually by week four. At that
point, the epidermis has grown back although the healing process
continues for another several months with visible improvement.
- One
to two days of light redness resulting in visible improvement.

| Application: |
Shaving
(razor) bumps/Pseudo-folliculitis |
| Description: |
Pseudo-folliculitis
(razor bumps) is a common condition of a closely shaved area, which
occurs in people with thick curly hair. The problem results when
highly curly hairs grow back into the skin causing inflammation and a
foreign body reaction. Over time, this can cause keloidal scarring
which looks like hard bumps. |
What
to Expect:
(Immediately after
Treatment) |
Perifollicular
erythema (reddening around hair shaft) immediately following laser
application. On occasion this reaction is absent or minimal. |
Expected
Final
Outcome: |
Full
resolution. Requires multiple (up to five) treatments with occasional
maintenance treatments. |

Before
|
| Application: |
Red
and blue veins/spider veins on legs |
| Description: |
Veins
that are distended, tortuous, twisted, bulging, "ropey"
superficial veins of the leg that instead of conducting blood
upward, back to the heart, conduct blood downward, in a reversed
fashion, back to the foot. |
What
to Expect:
(Immediately after
Treatment) |
Fine
veins may blanch, larger veins are thicker and may blanch or turn
grayish and flatten. You should not see a refill/rebound after the
vessel is depressed. The onset of surrounding erythema (reddening)
and edema occurs in a few minutes. Erythema can last a few days,
some smaller superficial vessels could form a cat scratch scab over
vein patch, and larger veins will take a few weeks to fade. |
Expected
Final
Outcome: |
Usually
takes one to three treatments. Vessels may take up to eight weeks to
fade. |
