| Laser Therapy - Patient Information
Explanation:
Vasculight is a non-invasive medical system that uses light to treat
numerous benign cosmetic conditions. The treatment involves: 1. Wearing
glasses to protect your eyes. 2. Applying a chilled gel to the treated
area. 3. Applying a hand piece in the gel, above the skin. 4. Pulses
of intense light will flash that may cause a mild sting or pinch.
The number of treatments required varies, depending on the severity
and density of your condition.

General Information:
-
You may experience mild discomfort similar to a sting or pinch during
treatment, but it subsides quickly. A mild burning sensation may last
for up to one hour.
- Short-term side effects are minimal but possible. The most common
side effect is slight reddening of the treated skin. Others include:
Initial darkening of pigmented areas, temporary swelling, bruising
(if vein therapy is provided), and/or scarring. All of these are unlikely
if post treatment instructions are followed properly.
- The treated skin will be sensitive for several days. Make-up may
be applied after the therapy. Sun exposure must be avoided 3-4 weeks
before and after treatments.
