A vascular lesion is a visible blood vessel beneath the skin, typically red or purple. These often appear on the face and legs.
At First Ave Medical Spa in Vancouver, we offer treatments to reduce and eliminate lesions like cherry angiomas, venous lakes, hemangiomas, and spider veins, helping restore smoother, even-toned skin.
We use a patented system called the Gentle Max PRO to deliver treatment for vascular lesions. This system uses laser technology to deliver light-based energy to the skin that impacts the veins, and in turn, leads to the disappearance of visible vascular lesions.
We would always welcome clients to meet with us in the first instance, as this allows us to asses the severity and condition of the vascular lesions. Once we do this, we can then provide you with a treatment plan, outlining the expected number of sessions needed to help achieve the desired results.
Using the Gentle Max PRO system, we direct the laser energy onto the target area. The action of doing this will cause the blood inside to coagulate. As the treatments process, the vein will eventually collapse leading to the disappearance of the lesion.
Another appealing element of this vascular lesion treatment is the welcome addition of a cooling device. With each laser pulse that is delivered, it released a cooling burst of cryogen in order to instantly cool the target area and lessen the sensations that are common with any type of laser treatment.
Drawing on the experience of the entire industry, we can report that in some instances, very rarely, there have been reports of blistering and bruising.
A full consultation is always advised so that we may review any past or current medical conditions as well as being able to physically examine the area/s you wish to be treated.
Once the treatment has taken place, there is no reported pain and only in some cases is there a slight swelling that can occur.
We always provide our clients will a tailored plan that looks at this in advance, helping you have a clear indication from the start about how many treatments are needed in order to deliver the desired results. Botox is FDA and Health Canada approved and considered to be a safe and effective method to achieve a more youthful appearance and reduce lines on the facial area.
