Treatment of Vascular ConditionsMany skin conditions are the result of abnormal blood vessels. These include conditions such as port-wine birthmarks, angiomas, hemangiomas, spider veins on the face and legs, inflammatory acne, psoriasis, and warts. Some conditions, such as fine wrinkles and uneven pigmentation, result from extensive sun damage. All of these conditions can be treated with the Cynergy Vascular Workstation. How does a laser help? Using a beam of light, Cynosure lasers treat a broad range of vascular conditions by selectively treating the areas of concern. The laser light selectively targets and coagulates problem blood vessels while leaving the surrounding skin unchanged. How many treatments are required? Results are seen within three to four weeks. Typically, one to two treatments are recommended. For conditions such as birthmarks or hemangiomas, several treatments will be required. Is the treatment painful? There
is some minor discomfort associated with laser treatment. Most
patients describe the sensation as a series of rubber band snaps
to the skin. We can often reduce or eliminate this by cooling
the treated area with an air-cooling device. |
