DioLiteXP 532 nm, Solid State Laser

Treatment of Vascular &
Pigmented Skin Lesions

This non-invasive FDA approved laser treatment focuses on the collagen producing layer of the skin, stimulating collagen forming cells. As new collagen forms in the skin, wrinkles fill in with improvement continuing over a four month period. Results will be seen with one treatment with best improvements occurring with a second treatment. There is no down time, no anesthesia required, no pain and no redness. New collagen growth remains
permanently..

Laser Treatment Applications:

-Vascular Lesions

Rosacea - Rosacea is a chronic skin condition involving inflammation of the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, or eyelids. It may appear as redness, prominent spider-like blood vessels, swelling, or skin eruptions similar to acne.

Telangiectasia - Small, unsightly red, purple or blue blood vessels found along the surface on the face, upper chest, neck and rarely on other parts of the body. Similar veins are found on the legs called spider veins. These blood vessels are abnormal, not necessary for any essential body function.

Cherry Angiomas - Small, smooth, dome-shaped papules superficially protruding from the skin. Acquired in adulthood, they usually are multiple lesions located on the trunk, and range in color from red to purple.

Spider Veins - Often small, red or blue veins located closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins. They can look like tree branches or spider webs with their short jagged lines. Spider veins can be found on the face.

Neovascularication - An increased number of blood vessels in tissue not normally containing them, or proliferation of blood vessels of a different kind than usual in tissue. This can occur as a result of wound healing in the skin

Port-Wine Stain - A vascular birthmark made of enlarged capillaries in the skin, which produce a reddish-purplish discoloration of the skin. Port-wine stains occur most often on the face but can appear anywhere on the body. Early stains are usually flat and pink in appearance. As the child matures, the color may deepen to a dark red
or purplish color.

Spider Angioma - An abnormal collection of blood vessels near the surface of the skin. The appearance is often similar to that of a small spider web. A spider angioma lesion typically has a red dot in the center with reddish extensions radiating out for some distance around it (a few millimeters to a centimeter or more). Spider angiomas can occur anywhere but are most common on
the face and trunk.

Lentigo (Age Spots) - A brown, sharply circumscribed spot caused by an increased number of melanocytes. Actinic (solar) lentigines arise in middle age and are numerous in sun-exposed skin.

Freckles Dermatosis Pepulosa Nigra - A benign cutaneous condition common among darker skin types. It is usually characterized by multiple, small, hyper pigmented, asymptomatic papules on the face of adults with darker skin tones.

Seborrheic Keratoses - A superficial benign neoplasm of epidermal cells that presents as a papule or plaque with a characteristic “pasted-on” appearance. These lesions are usually acquired later in life (middle age and beyond) and
tend to grow slowly.

How Long Will Results Last?

While treatments can help remove the signs of aging and sun damage, they cannot stop the process. Exceptional results can be maintained with follow-up treatments and a daily sun block regimen.

How Do Laser Vascular and Pigmented Lesion Treatments Work? 

Red and brown discoloration treatments work by precisely targeting unwanted lesions:
Brown discolorations, also known as pigmented lesions (age spots, sun spots, etc.), are
darker than the rest of the skin and absorb more laser energy than the surrounding skin.
Red discolorations, also known as vascular lesions (small veins, rosacea, cherry angiomas, etc.), are overgrown or enlarged blood vessels. Preferentially heating vessel walls causes them to weaken, fall and be absorbed by the body.
