The Laser Treatment In Portland For Vascular Lesions

Damaged skin doesn't typically occur overnight, and neither does total skin rejuvenation. But, everyday those men and women suffering from vascular lesions look to the Pulsed Dye laser treatment to start the short process that ultimately leads to looking and feeling their best.

A vascular lesion is a skin blemish resulting from the abnormal blood vessels that reside just under the surface of the skin. Prior to laser surgery, there was no viable treatment for eliminating the reddish color associated with the wide variety of vascular lesions. Today, the Pulsed Dye laser is one of the best options for the treatment of these skin imperfections. It not only destroys offending vessels on the face, breasts, abdomen, thighs, upper arms and hands, but stimulates the growth of new collagen and restores the elastic structure of the skin.

Serving the Pacific Northwest, the Key Laser Institute for Aesthetic Medicine in Portland, Oregon is on the forefront on the West Coast in the use of noninvasive lasers, light and energy to reverse the signs of aging and to restore the health, appearance and overall well being of your skin.

Pulsed Dye Laser Treatment

The Pulsed Dye is a long-pulsed laser that's been in use since the early 1980's. Targeting blood vessels, it emits concentrated doses of high-energy laser light, which is then converted into heat, destroying blood vessels under the skin while leaving both the epidermis (outer layer of skin) and adjacent healthy tissue unaffected. It's effective in the treatment of fine wrinkles, rosacea, psoriasis, keloids, stretch marks and vascular lesions such as port wine stains, cherry angiomas, hemangiomas and spider veins. And, it's a skin rejuvenation treatment that's available to patients of all ages and all skin types.

During your procedure, a wand-like device is moved across the skin. Anesthesia is not required. Because of its large spot size, large areas can be quickly treated - usually, in just 10 to 20 minutes. You should expect only minor discomfort with minimal side-effects such as short term redness and slight bruising; make-up can continue to be worn after your laser treatment. For optimum results, 3 to 4 procedures are required, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Pulsed Dye laser complements other treatments such as Away With Brown Spots & Broken Blood Vessels and Stretch Marks, Scars and Smoother Skin.
