LASER REMOVAL OF VASCULAR erythema

Vascular erythema - due to the nature of its structure, it requires a different treatment and therapeutic approach than in the case of broken capillaries. Erythema is formed by a very dense network of capillaries that give the optical effect of reddening the skin, e.g. of the face or cheeks. The blood vessels dilate rapidly under the influence of emotions, frost, heat and increased blood pressure.

Elimination of facial erythema

For the treatment of vascular erythema we use the Nd: YAG neodymium-jagogue laser from Fotona Spectro SP with a light wavelength of 1064nm. It is the deepest penetrating laser beam available on global markets, thanks to which it can destroy large diameter vessels deeply hidden under the skin. At the same time, thanks to homogeneous penetration, it has a very wide range of applications and minimizes the risk of tissue damage. Thanks to the highest power and advanced safety systems, the Fotona Spectro SP laser is the fastest and safest laser on the market. We can also use a laser with shallower penetration - i.e. a shorter wavelength - in this therapy. This device called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) from Top Laser emits a light pulse of various wavelengths 530 - 1200nm through a crystal block transmitting the pulse to the skin. Using the phenomenon of similar absorption of waves by both hemoglobin and melanin contained in the epidermis, this laser is used to remove both superficial damage to blood vessels (erythema) and discolorations. At the same time, IPL also increases the production of collagen, which increases skin elasticity and eliminates fine wrinkles.

How does a laser work?

The use of waves absorbed by the blood pigment - hemoglobin - is identical to the treatment of telangiectasia and varicose veins. A laser is a device that generates an intense beam of light that allows interference in living tissue. It directs a beam of light with precisely defined parameters. This allows changes to be made within the tissue. The laser light reaches deep into the vessel, where it is absorbed by the dye contained in red blood cells and converted into thermal energy. Under the influence of this heat, water evaporates from the tissue. All that remains are the dry elements of the vessel, i.e. its walls, which collapse and are absorbed, thus disappearing. The entire procedure carries no risk of complications and infections. It can be performed at any time of the year. Laser therapy can only be performed after excluding the presence of concomitant superficial and deep vein diseases or after completing their treatment

Contraindications to laser therapy:

• Pregnancy
• Diabetes
• Pacemaker
• Bloathing disorders
• Epilepsy
• Some skin diseases (rosacea, vitiligo, psoriasis, allergenic lesions) if skin lesions are exposed to direct action of laser rays
• Tan (too much accumulated melanin absorbs a large dose of energy, which may cause skin discoloration). You should not sunbathe (sun, solarium) for 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after the procedure
• Tendency to discoloration
• Active viral or bacterial lesions on the skin
• Use of certain medications:
  • Medicines that reduce blood clotting; anticoagulants, e.g. aspirin
  • Steroids
  • Photosensitizing drugs: some antibiotics, e.g. tetracycline, doxycycline, vitamin A derivatives, some cardiological drugs and others, e.g. furagine
  • Use of some herbs: marigold, St. John's wort
  • Using creams with retinol

Recommendations for the patient before laser erythema removal treatment:

• Do not sunbathe (sun, solarium) for 4 weeks before the procedure
• Do not use exfoliating treatments (peeling) for a week before the treatment
• If you use drugs: anticoagulants, steroids, photosensitizing drugs, they should be discontinued (if possible) 7 days before the procedure, and then they can be used again 14 days after the procedure
• Shave the skin with a razor 1 day before the procedure, do not depilate the hair with wax, chemicals or pluck it with tweezers
• Do not drink alcohol on the day of the procedure
• The treatment is performed on clean skin (cosmetics should be washed off before the treatment)

Procedure of the procedure:

• Skin cleansing
• Put on a protector to protect your eyes
• Placing a transparent gel on the skin
• Starting laser work

During the procedure, the patient may feel burning and warmth when the impulse is released.

In more sensitive people or in sensitive places, the symptoms can be additionally alleviated by using local anesthesia (e.g. Anestop gel).

Possible symptoms after the procedure:

• Burning, stinging (may last several hours after the procedure)
• Rythema and swelling may occur after the procedure as a direct effect; these symptoms disappear within a few hours or days; After the treatment, cool compresses are applied, the so-called Cold pack, and creams at home, and soothing creams at home (Alantan Plus)
• Itching immediately after the procedure, especially around the nose and cheeks
• Increased skin sensitivity after the treatment (tenderness)

For a few days after the procedure:

• Do not use soap, spirit or alcohol-based tonics
• Do not perform peelings or other treatments
• Do not wipe the areas after treatment with a sponge or towel
• Do not irritate the skin in the treatment area

Recommendations for the patient after laser removal of erythema:

• It is not recommended to use a hot bath or sauna 14 days after the treatment
• It is not recommended to sunbathe (sun, solarium) for 4 weeks after the treatment
• It is not recommended to perform intense physical exercise for 7 days after the procedure
• For facial treatments, use creams with a filter of at least SPF 30 for 4 weeks after the treatment
• Cosmetics can be used only 24 hours after the treatment, alcohol-based preparations should be avoided and skin moisturizing preparations should be used
• When closing a large number of vessels on the legs, it is recommended to wear compression stockings for a few days after the procedure
• You should come for a follow-up visit after the procedure

Effects:

• Evening skin tone
• Reduction and/or removal of erythema
• Reduction and/or removal of discolorations and stains
• Increase in skin elasticity
• Smoothing and refreshing the skin

Why do we remove vascular erythema with the Nd:YAG and Er:YAG FOTONA SPECTRO SP laser?

Fotona neodymium-jag Nd:YAG and Er:YAG lasers - are modern devices enabling a number of procedures in the field of surgery, dermatology and aesthetic medicine. The spectrum of applications is very wide, ranging from laser epilation, through acne treatment, photorejuvenation, to the treatment of skin cancer, removal of varicose veins and laser lipolysis procedures. The Spectro SP laser achieves maximum effects with a minimum depth of laser beam penetration. This laser is the ideal tool for fast, cold ablation.

The average power in quasi-continuous pulse mode is 30 WAT. The competition doesn't even come close to this result. Thanks to this, treatments are performed much faster and more effective. In the hands of a doctor, this laser is an almost perfect tool.

Effective removal of facial erythema for all skin types:

Nd:YAG Laser Photons with long pulses is characterized by homogeneous penetration and low absorption by tissue chromophores. These two advantages allow the Nd:YAG laser to reach deeper structures without damaging the epidermis, regardless of skin type.

Innovation of the Nd:YAG and Er:YAG Fotona Spectro SP lasers

This laser is equipped with a number of innovative solutions such as EFC (impulse feedback control) - a system that provides a previously unavailable degree of control over the energy of the laser beam pulse. Thanks to each calibration of the device, the laser always provides a beam with precisely defined parameters, which increases the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Another innovation in Fotona Spectro SP lasers is the VSP system (variable square pulse - a patented solution) that allows the generation of a pulse with given parameters with a negligible rise and fall time of the pulse energy. This increases the efficiency of the laser beam, and at the same time improves the effectiveness and speed of treatment compared to other devices.

The Fotona Spectro SP laser, thanks to the highest power and advanced safety system, is the fastest and safest laser on the market.

The security of the Fotona Spectro SP system is:

• EFC (impulse feedback control)

Thanks to this system, we avoid a decrease in laser power during the treatment, which could lead to weaker or incomplete results. We also do not have to worry about energy surges that may cause tissue damage.

• VSP (variable square pulse)

Unlike other systems, where there is a sudden jump in energy and then a slow decrease, in the Fotona Spectro SP system the pulse energy distribution is even. This protects us against overheating and tissue burns. At the same time, the effectiveness and safety of treatments radically improve.

The effectiveness of the Fotona Spectro SP system is:

The neodymium-Jag laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm is the deepest penetrating laser beam available on the market, thanks to which it can destroy large-diameter vessels deeply hidden under the skin. At the same time, thanks to homogeneous penetration, it has a very wide range of applications and minimizes the risk of tissue damage. High power in quasi-continuous pulse mode is 30 Watts. The competition doesn't even come close to Siudo's result. Thanks to this, treatments performed with the Fotona Spectro SP system are much faster and more effective. With this laser system, all patient needs can be met, achieving excellent clinical results and unprecedented gentleness.
