Unsightly
Blemishes
Many benign skin lesions such as
unsightly blood vessels, birthmarks, port wine stains, red spots,
warts, freckles, sunspots, skin tags and old age spots can now be
treated easily and effectively with our state of the art lasers.
Treatment with specific wavelength lasers can be performed in the
office after an accurate diagnosis has been made. Some lesions
require test patches to be performed and may require multiple
visits. The most common lesions treated are vascular lesions and
pigmented lesions.
Visible
Blood Vessels
Vascular lesions consist of blood vessels beneath the surface of
the skin. They may appear pink, red or bluish in color and show up
either as discrete individual vessels, spider vessels or as a
large patch. These lesions lend themselves ideally to laser
treatments because the visible components of blood absorb the
energy of the laser. When this occurs, the vessels blanch and
disappear. In some cases the result is immediate while others take
place over time. More than one treatment is sometimes required.
Pigmented lesions appear as darker areas of the skin. Some of the
most common are freckles and age spots. These may be flat on the
skin or slightly elevated. Lesions such as these will be carefully
evaluated so that any cancerous or pre-malignant conditions are
effectively addressed. Common lesions such as freckles and age
spots respond very well to laser treatment. |
