Laser Vascular Lesion Reduction

Conveniently located to serve Virginia Beach

Minimizing or hiding the appearance of vascular lesions (spider veins) can enhance both your appearance and your self-esteem. Spider veins are hereditary, and while most commonly found on the thigh or lower leg, can form virtually anywhere on the leg, from the uppermost region of the thigh to the ankle. Occasionally, spider veins will appear on the face, called Facial Telangiectasia. These are small, red or purple blood vessels that can be caused by a number of skin conditions, including sun damage, heredity, rosacea, hot and spicy food, exercise or emotions.

Dr. Lopes uses the latest technologically advanced ClearScan ™ Laser from Sciton to treat Red Spider Veins, Facial Telangiectasia, and blue vessels up to 4 mm.

The laser energy from ClearScan ™ penetrates deep down and is absorbed by the cells in the vessel wall and the blood causing coagulation and sealis off the blood flow. The vessel walls then collapse and eventually dissolve.

Tanned skin can be treated with ClearScan ™, however, you should always inform your physician if you have tanned in the last three weeks prior to a treatment or if you have any concerns. Keep in mind that each patient’s condition is different; thus multiple treatments may be necessary.
