Vascular Lesions

Laser treatments are now a routine procedure for the removal of many types of vascular lesions, including hemangiomas, vascular malformations such as port-wine stains, telangiectasias, venous lakes and angiomas. Long pulse Nd:YAG lasers offer the perfect solution for treating vascular lesions. Fotona’s long pulse laser penetrates to a depth of 5-6 mm into the skin, allowing for highly effective treatments. The energy from the laser is absorbed by the blood in the vein, converted into heat and the vein walls are susequently destroyed. It also targets the underlying vascular feeding system, which is important for ensuring the long-term efficacy the treatment. The process is safe as other healthy veins supply blood to the treated area and the body’s immune system clears away the dead tissue just as with a bruise.
