VASULAR LESIONS

What is a Long Pulse YAG laser?

 

The Long Pulsed YAG laser is a quick and effective procedure which allows precise treatment of visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, cherry angiomas, and vascular lesions by using laser energy. Once the laser light is applied to the skin, it enters the vessel, where the energy from the laser is absorbed and the vessel walls collapse and seal shut, eliminating its appearance on the skin.

 Telangiectasias or broken capillaries 
Cherry angiomas 
 Spider veins 
 Small leg veins
