what are vascular lesions

Vascular lesions are usually red or bruised thread-like veins or papules that can vary in size, shape and frequency in a specific area. Some examples of vascular lesions include telangiectasia (fine broken capillaries), spider veins, varicose veins, and birthmarks (caused by blood vessels). Such lesions can be formed as a result of natural or environmental factors including sun exposure, genetic makeup, or simply natural aging. Patients with the skin condition rosacea will notice the existence of vascular lesions on the face.

how yellowbeam vascular treatment works

To treat unsightly veins, our medical aesthetician will carefully apply energy to the target area and heat up the hemoglobin (blood) within the dilated blood vessels. The heat destroys the structure of the dilated blood vessels, allowing the body to naturally dismantle the damaged tissue. Every treatment is customized to a patient’s specific needs and characteristics. In every case, our goal is to maximize the delivery of energy for optimal results, while minimizing patient discomfort.

the yellowbeam difference

The Yellowbeam 577nm wavelength provides the best absorption when treating blood vessels. This translates to less power required during treatment, resulting in greater comfort and reduced risk of side effects. Unlike traditional lasers, the Yellowbeam can safely and more effectively treat both light and dark skin types. As the latest advancement in laser skin rejuvenation, the Yellowbeam allows for elimination of unsightly blood vessels without any visible bruising and minimal to no downtime. This is true for a wide variety of skin types, and it’s common for patients to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Our system can be used to treat a wide variety of skin conditions, including:
  • Spider nevus
  • Port wine stains
  • Poikiloderma of civatte
  • Cherry angioma
  • Spider angioma
  • Couperosis
  • Hemangioma
  • Erythema post-acne
  • Rosacea
  • Telangiectasia
  • Venous lake
Patients typically see significant improvements in as little as one session, however we generally recommend a minimum of 3 sessions for optimal, long-lasting results. Our state-of-the-art technology enables us to eliminate unsightly blood vessels without any visible bruising. This is true for a wide variety of skin types, and it’s common for patients to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Treatment sessions themselves are relatively fast and don’t require the high-energy lasers required of other treatments, which means a more comfortable session for the patient. Patients typically see significant results in one session, although some cases may require multiple sessions.
