Vasculight for Vein Treatment
I’ve had other treatments for varicose and spider veins and sometimes the problem comes back over time. Does VascuLight offer a permanent solution for these conditions?
VascuLight’s Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and laser system provides complete and virtually permanent closure of damaged and ruptured veins, both large and small, near the surface and further below it. Since the vein is completely closed, blood cannot flow back into it; consequently, over time the vein simply disintegrates and is absorbed by the body. Other treatment types may not produce this complete vein closure. Be aware however, that patients may develop varicose veins in other areas as time passes.
My doctor explained that the broken capillaries, flushing and little pimples I have on my face are associated with a skin disorder called rosacea. Can VascuLight help me?
Experts have found IPL treatments to be very effective in minimizing the vascular symptoms associated with rosacea. Your entire face, chest and neck areas can generally be treated without anesthesia or significant side effects.
How long has the Vasculight been available?
The VascuLight system has been available in the US since April, 1998. Further, VascuLight has gone through rigorous clinical testing in some of the world’s leading hospitals and clinical facilities. Dozens of articles have been published in medical journals on the results of these studies.
I spend a lot of time outdoors, so I usually have a pretty good tan. Can I still be treated with the laser energy of the VascuLight system?
One of the advances of the VascuLight system is its ability to treat virtually all skin types and colors, at any time of the year. This is due to its long, near-infrared laser wavelength that easily passes through the melanin, the material that gives color to the skin.
