THREAD VEIN TREATMENT

  • There are many different types of vascular lesions including thread veins, spider naevi, rosacea and angiomas. Many of these can be either completely removed or significantly improved using the Fotona laser with dramatic results.

    Vascular lesions can be present from birth or develop with age.

    They occur when the small capillaries in your skin become dilated and can give the appearance of red spots, or sometimes larger lesions. They can also spread out like thread veins or spider veins.

  • The Fotona laser works by immediately shrinking the capillaries to provide instant cosmetic results.

    This happens because the energy from the laser is readily absorbed by blood in the vein which destroys the vein wall and shrinks the vessel.

    Your body then naturally clears away the tissue just as it does with any bruise so it clears. This treatment can be done on any parts of the face or body.

  • This is a 2-step procedure that combines Fotona SMOOTH® tightening with ablative resurfacing.

    • The first stage consists of a revolutionary non-ablative Er:YAG SMOOTH® mode applied to the treatment area, which is ideal for skin tightening. The intense, controlled surface tissue heating stimulates collagen remodeling and initiates neocollagenesis. The effects result in an overall improvement of laxity and elasticity in the treated areas.

    • The second stage consists of skin ablation with a full or fractional Er:YAG beam, which improves the scar characteristics of striae and removes superficial imperfections.

  • 60 minutes each session with 4-6 intervals between each session
