TREATMENTS

Vascular Lesion Removal

This includes vascular/red birth marks (Port Wine Stains), broken capillaries (Telangiectasia), superficial to deep collection of vessels raised above the skin surface (Hemangiomas), Poikiloderma of Civatte, Campbell De Morgan lesion (cherry angioma), warts, as well as hypertrophic and keloid scars.

The Cynergy Vascular, Candela V-Beam and IPL lasers safely and effectively target unwanted facial veins and vascular lesions These treatments are performed by dermatologists and laser operators after the correct diagnosis.

  • Vascular lesions - results will vary with each patient. Therapy with the Cynergy Laser isn’t a cure for vein disease, but it’s used to fade, reduce or eliminate vascular lesions. Multiple treatments at 6- to 8-week intervals are often necessary.
  • Port Wine Stain - response to treatment varies according to the lesion’s colour, maturity, depth and nodularity.
  • Hypertrophic and keloid scars - treatments will eliminate the vessels and may reduce the scar’s bulkiness, plus normalise skin texture.
  • When warts don't respond to topical medication or remedies, vascular laser treatment is recommended. The latter will destroy the blood vessels feeding warts. A course of 3 treatments at monthly intervals usually is sufficient.

Pre-treatment

  • Avoid sun exposure, sun beds and self tanning creams one month prior to treatment and throughout the course of your laser treatment. Apply sun block twice daily.
  • Patients with a history of cold sores (herpes simplex) should consider prophylactic antiviral medication.
  • Depending on the lesion and skin colour, the dermatologist might do a test spot firstly to determine the tissue response and healing phase (approximately 6 weeks).
  • Aspirin should not be used the day of the treatment as it causes thinning of the blood which may then result in bruising.
