Can Vascular Lesions on the Face be Removed?
We offer vascular lesion removal treatments in Edmonton, Alberta.
What are vascular lesions?
Vascular lesions are due to conditions such as Rosacea, couperose skin, sensitized skin, or simply genetics. Frequent, consistent redness and broken capillaries are typical characteristics present of these types of conditions.
How do I know if I have Rosacea?
Talk to your doctor if you think you may have Rosacea. Common symptoms of Rosacea include:
- Flushing
- Persistent Redness
- Bumps and Pimples
- Visible Blood Vessels
- Broken Capillaries
- Burning or Stinging
- Swelling
- Eye Irritation
- Dry Appearance
- Skin Thickening
- Plaques (overgrowths of skin)
Phototherapy reduces redness and broken capillaries
We do vascular lesion removal with phototherapy, more specifically, with our ALIVIA photofacial.
To understand how phototherapy reduces Rosacea symptoms, let’s begin with the fact that oxyhemoglobin is formed by the combination of hemoglobin with oxygen, present in oxygenated blood. When we apply light energy, oxyhemoglobin in the blood within the targeted vessel absorbs the energy. In turn, this causes the blood to coagulate and the vessel to break up into particles. Finally, these particles are naturally filtered away through the body’s lymphatic system.
Is the ALIVIA photofacial painful?
Most clients would agree that phototherapy is not painful at all. During the procedure, you may feel a slight, momentary stinging sensation. This sensation is comparable to the snapping of a small elastic band, but not pain.
We provide post care instructions for your treatment. While there are some minor recommendations we as you to follow, the ALIVIA photofacial does NOT require any downtime whatsoever!
Our Skin Experts are knowledgeable on our technology, AND on the biology of the skin. This increases the comfort and safety of all of our treatments. Our treatments are non-invasive and safe, with minimum side effects if any at all.
