Application of Nd:YAG laser in treatment of enlarged capillaries and vascular disorders
Therapy with vascular Nd:YAG laser is safe, efficient, painless and the best therapy for small blood vessels on the face and body with instantly visible and permanent results.
Laser beam with wave length of 1064nm passes through the skin without damaging it and is resorbed by blood vessels which leads to permanent obliteration of the treated blood vessel by the process of photothermocoagulation, which means that the light energy of the laser beam turns into thermal energy which performs the coagulation of the blood vessel i.e. its permanent closure.
All blood vessels of 0,5-6,0 mm diameter are successfully removed regardless of their position on the body.
Treatments have no side effects and complications thanks to a strict selectivity of the laser beam which treats exclusively the blood vessels without skin irritation.
Permanent removal of capillaries and venules on the face, body or legs is achieved by 2-3 treatments, with breaks of 4-6 weeks.
Methods used so far for treatment of enlarged venules and capillaries on the face, body and legs have been invasive (operative treatment and sclerosing therapy) and associated with certain health risks. Besides that, the mentioned procedures are uncomfortable and painful and, most importantly, not efficient enough for small blood vessels. Patients have accepted such treatments for curing because there was no alternative.
Advantages of the Nd:Yag laser therapy in relation to therapies and lasers so far are:
- removal or drastic reduction in the number of enlarged capillaries already during the first treatment
- prevention of further expansion of the treated blood vessels
- painless treatment procedure
- no skin irritation during the treatment
- no side effects
- quick and efficient /treatment lasting up to 10-45 min./
- permanent recovery is achieved with 2-3 treatments
- treatment may include all regions of the body and face apart from the region right around the eyes
- excellent esthetic result
