Spider Veins Treatment Glamorgan

The non-invasive laser treatment of unsightly leg veins is one of the most requested yet most challenging of aesthetic procedures. Because of the various diameters, depths and pressures found with these vessels, their treatment often requires a wide range of wavelengths, pulse widths and fluences. Using a combination of therapies, such as those included on the Harmony®XL system, practitioners are able to treat both superficial and deep telangiectasias as well as telangiectatic matting and hemosiderin staining. Using the principle of selective photothermolysis, these vessels can be selectively heated and collapsed without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. Depending on the nature of the vessels, the AFT treatment head on the HarmonyXL can be used to produce the desired effect. In fact, using a combination of 1064-nm laser light in conjunction with various broadband AFT treatment parameters has, in many cases, been shown to be more effective than laser treatment alone. Technology in use Our treatment coagulates and destroys large, deep, cosmetically unacceptable blood vessels and leg veins without the use of chemicals or needles. This easy-to-use, ergonomic handpiece effectively coagulates oxygenated reddish telangiectasias, as well as deoxygenated bluish venule ectasia and reticular veins up to 4-mm diameter. Key advantages for patients • Safe and effective treatment for various diameters and depths of leg veins • No need for injections • Quick and effective treatment

What causes facial veins? These broken veins and capillaries are found in men and women mainly on the face, which are caused either by age, trauma, sun exposure or alcohol. How can they be treated? Intense Pulse Light or Laser treatment can eliminate damaged veins and capillaries by targeting the light energy on the facial veins. The light energy is absorbed by the haemoglobin and converted to heat energy. Blood coagulates and the vessel wall collapses. In time the vessel is broken down and absorbed by the body. How many treatments will I require? Patients can see dramatic improvements following a few treatments. Clearly the exact number depends on the patient’s initial skin condition prior to treatment. The important thing to remember is the high specification IPL /Laser equipment used generates improved results at each application due to the flexibility of the parameters and that greatly reduces the number of visits required. At Beauty Advance Laser Clinic we operate high specification equipment that requires the use of a skilled practitioner who will optimise the setting for each patient and at each subsequent visit. Are the treatments painful? There is slight discomfort sometimes described as a sting or snap of an elastic band but here at beauty advance we use a Cryo Zimmer cooler so it can be virtually pain free. Every client has a different pain threshold, therefore, some people can tolerate it more than others. The treatments are so effective that patients can return immediately to work or their daily routine as there is no down time.
