Laser treatments
Thread vein
Thread vein or small vein reduction using IPL and KTP lasers.
The pulse light and laser system are designed to target and destroy unsightly veins which resulted from hereditary, pregnancy, trauma and the normal ageing process.
The appearance of Rosacea also responds very well to this treatment as it reduces the excessive redness in the face. IPL systems operate on the principle of selective photothermolysis in which target vessels are selectively damaged with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Veins which are not necessary to the circulatory system can be removed without causing a health problem.
The pulse light and laser systems are designed to treat veins safely and effectively. The pulse light/laser energy penetrates the vessels and generates heat, resulting in blood coagulation and vessel wall damage. This leads to the collapse of the blood vessels. There is a limit to the size of the vessel that can be effectively treated. Benefits of this treatment include the possible reduction or elimination of superficial veins. The treatment may cause some redness and minor swelling that may persist for one or two days
A topical anaesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort associated with the treatment. Photographs of the treatment area are recommended for our chart and future comparison.
Possible risks or discomforts (side effects) may include:
pain, burning, blisters formation, and stinging sensation, infection, pigmentary changes including decrease or increase in skin colour at the site of treatment, scar formation, laser/intense pulsed light indeed ‘cold-sore-like’ blistering, skin eruptions known as ‘herpetic’ skin eruptions at the site of treatment and poor cosmetic outcome. Recurrence of the hair growth at treatment sites is also a possibility. As with all cosmetic procedures, the outcome cannot be guaranteed.
Eye injury due to use of the laser or pulsed light system is a risk to the patient and to the clinician, however safety goggles are provided and must be worn at all times during the treatment.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
"Amazing results and excellent surgeon and staff
I chose the Pillar Procedure because it seemed a lot less invasive. It was a one-time procedure that was done in the surgeons clinic. I was there for five, ten minutes, perhaps. And then back to work again. Quick, easy. I'm sleeping better at night. I'm getting better rest than I've had in years."
