Vascular Laser Treatments

Excel Laser is the right choice for facial and lower extremity vascular lesions including spider veins on the upper thigh. It also helps to fade port wine stains and more.

Acu Tip targets pigmented and vascular lesions with pinpoint accuracy.

LimeLight is a leading technology for treating vascular and pigmented lesions.

The Cutera Excel Laser is highly effective in treating:

·    Leg Veins – Spider (Telangiectasia) or thread veins, common on the legs. They can be pink, red or purple and are less than 1mm in diameter.  Reticular veins are more bluish and are usually from 1mm to less than 3mm in diameter.

·    Facial Veins – Spider veins or dilated surface veins, often found on the nose, chin and cheek area and commonly occurring in Rosacea. There is no one cause for spider veins but hormonal changes, sun exposure, oral contraceptives, aging and heredity are all contributing factors.

You may feel a mild pinching or stinging sensation. No anesthesia is required. Some patients opt for the use of a topical anesthetic for more sensitive areas.

Precise dosages of energy target to seal off veins with minimal risk to the surrounding healthy skin.

Typically you will need between one and three treatments.

·    Avoid applying cream to your face or legs on the day of your appointment.

·    Do not take aspirin or blood thinners three – five days before your procedure.

·    Eat a snack one-hour before your treatment.

·    You can shower but avoid hot baths, saunas and hot tubs for at least a week.

·    Use sunscreen after treatment. It is recommended that you use SPF45 or higher.

·    Apply moisturizer as recommended by your clinician.

·    If you experience swelling, apply ice by wrapping it in a cloth and gently placing it on the affected area.
