Laser Vein Therapy
Having clear, translucent skin is the privilege of everyone living in San Diego. Nothing says, "Southern California Native" like luminous, flawless skin. As we get older, as our hormones begin to fluctuate, and as our blood vessels and capillaries collapse under various pressures, facial and leg veins begin to appear beneath our skin. These blemishes can make us look older, less healthy and less "Californian" than we really are. Laser vein therapy can be highly effective on many different vascular issues including face and leg veins, rosecea, port wine stains and even some acne scars. If you're ready to reclaim healthy, younger looking skin by eliminating vascular blemishes, then it's time to call La Jolla Dermatology for a confidential consultation with Dr. Susan Stuart at (858) 623-6333 or you can contact LaJollaSkin.com online.
The Advantages of Vascular Laser Treatments
In the last 20 years, advances in laser technology have revolutionized cosmetic dermatology and our ability to effectively treatment a variety of skin conditions. Vascular damage can result in unsightly spider veins, rosecea, and port wine stains, to list a few. This damage is treated with highly specialized technology called a pulsed dye-laser. This type of laser creates a longer pulse of light that gently targets blood vessels without damaging surrounding skin cells or tissues. The final results can be remarkable.
At La Jolla Dermatology our V-Beam laser includes a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) which is an adjustable stream of cryogen that is sprayed on the skin before the laser pulse to increase your comfort. This cooling mechanism also allows Dr. Stuart to effectively treat extra sensitive skin on the face and body without additional discomfort.
Laser Vein Treatments at La Jolla Dermatology
Because Dr. Stuart is considered one San Diego's leading experts in Dermatology and Laser Surgery and has been selected as one of America's Top Physicians in Dermatology, you can rest assured that you're receiving exceptional care during your laser treatment. Many cosmetic or plastic surgery centers who offer laser treatments employ estheticians or qualified nurses to administer their laser services. Dr. Stuart is an award winning, board certified Dermatologists who administers laser vein treatments personally.
Laser vein treatments take from 15 minutes to an hour at La Jolla Dermatology. We will begin your treatment by thoroughly cleansing your skin removing any oils or impurities from the treatment area. Dr. Stuart will administer your treatment by slowly passing the laser hand piece over the treatment area. You may feel a slight sting and you may hear a short zapping sound as the laser pulses over your skin. In most cases, you will need to have more than one treatment session which Dr. Stuart will discuss with you in detail during your initial consultation.
Imagine being able to enjoy the wonderful outdoor recreations of San Diego without having to wear heavy makeup to cover facial veins or being able to wear shorts instead of pants to cover unsightly leg veins. These exciting possibilities can begin with a phone call to La Jolla Dermatology. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Stuart today, just call (858) 623-6333 or you can contact LaJollaSkin.com online.
Laser Vein Therapy Recovery and Results
Most laser therapies don't require much recovery time, but vascular treatments do require a little healing time. Since the treatment targets and destroys damaged blood vessels, bruising is inevitable. These bruises will heal within a week or two. Icing the bruises during the first couple of days can reduce the size and extent of the bruising.
Avoiding sun exposure and wearing sun screen are imperative after each treatment, and Dr. Stuart will explain how you should continue to protect your skin after your treatment cycle is complete.
Once your treatment cycle and healing process are complete, your skin tone and texture will be dramatically improved. Your skin tone will look more uniform and luminescent and the texture will be more smooth. You will feel confident again in your own skin.
