KTP and NdYAG Laser Vein and Lesion Removal
Spider veins are unsightly little red, blue or purple veins usually found on the face or legs. Cherry angiomas are benign tumors made from blood vessels. Other types of vascular lesions, skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, warts or brown spots from sun damage may also be treated with the laser. Spider veins, cherry angiomas and many types of non-cancerous skin lesions are cosmetically displeasing but rarely cause medical problems. U Cosmetic has the Harmony NdYAG laser and the VariLite KTP laser.
Laser can treat spider and some blue veins on legs that sclerotherapy may not be able to treat. Laser light is pulsed over the spider vein or lesion and feels like a rubber band snap. The laser penetrates the skin to the depth of the spider vein and raises the temperature of the blood vessel causing it to clot. The treated vessel may decrease in size or disappear. The laser also targets superficial skin lesions by heating them up and causing them to crust or scab over and fall off after several days.
Multiple treatments may be required to remove face and skin lesions. Spider vessels and leg veins may require four to six or more sessions.
