Spectrum Long Pulsed YAG Laser For Vascular
What is a Long Pulsed YAG (LPY) Laser?
The 1064nm Long Pulsed YAG Laser delivers precise treatment for visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, and vascular lesions using laser energy. Tailored to individual skin conditions and desired results, LPY laser treatment is suitable for all skin areas.
What Makes LPY Unique and How Does It Work?
Spectrum’s long pulsed Yag laser diminishes the appearance of veins on the face and legs by delivering laser energy that is absorbed by the veins, causing them to collapse and seal shut. This quick and effective procedure ensures minimal discomfort and promotes vein elimination.
Indications for LPY?
LPY is effective for treating various vascular lesions including telangiectasias, spider veins, hemangiomas, and leg veins.
Expectations and Pre/Post-Treatment Care?
Discomfort during treatment is minimal, akin to the snap of a rubber band. Pre-treatment, discontinue blood-thinning medications/supplements unless prescribed by a doctor. Post-treatment, expect some swelling and irritation, with cold packs recommended to reduce redness/swelling. Avoid sun exposure and adhere to sunscreen usage for optimal healing and prevention of damage.
Treatment Duration and Recovery?
Treatment time varies depending on the area size, typically taking 15 minutes or less per area with no downtime required. Best results are typically seen after 1-2 treatments, with leg vein resolution taking 8-12 weeks. A series of 3 treatments is recommended for optimal results.
Exercise and Safety?
There is no downtime following LPY treatment, and patients can resume exercise immediately. LPY treatment is safe for skin types I-III.
Cost and Candidate Eligibility?
Treatment costs are based on the treated area and number of sessions required. Candidates for LPY laser treatments vary based on factors like age, overall health, extent of veins, symptoms, goals, and skin type. Common candidates include those with cherry angiomas, matted and superficial vessels, or visible spider veins.
