Always wanted to do something about those unsightly “broom ridges” (visible vessels) on the legs or rosacea on the face? Ivy clinics now has the perfect treatment for that. Using the Nd:YAG laser we can laser away many different types of vessels.
The Nd:YAG can be accurately set for both blue and red vessels. The blood in the vessel will absorb the heat from the laser. This will cause the blood in the vessel to clot, shrivel the vessel wall and be broken down by the body.
Shortly after treatment, the vessels will actually turn redder or bluer. This may persist for several weeks after treatment.
What can we treat with the Nd:YAG laser:
On average, 1 to 3 treatments are needed to achieve the desired results. If you are more likely to have a problem with overall facial redness then we also have an IPL treatment that is suitable for that.
In fact, small vessels can be treated quickly and efficiently with IPL. The energy given off by IPL is absorbed by the hemoglobin (the thing that makes the vessels red). The vessels are therefore destroyed and cleared by the body on their own. In most cases, superficial vessels will disappear within 1 treatment. Cherry angiomas, and other vessels are also well treatable with IPL.
Our dermatologists have extensive experience with lasers and can best advise you which laser or possibly a combination of lasers is most suitable for the vessels that bother you. Before you schedule a treatment, it is important to have a consultation. Make an appointment quickly. This can be done online or by phone!
