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.

Treatable Conditions:
Leg veins Port wine stains Enlarged pores
Birthmarks Tattoos Rosacea
Age spots Hair removal Wrinkles
Scars Freckles Sun-damaged skin
Aging Skin Facial veins Dull complexions

Benefits:

  • Affordable
  • Ability to resume routine activities immediately Excellent long-term results
  • Alternative to invasive and painful surgeries Little, if any, discomfort
  • Gradual improvement with few risks Brief treatment time
  • Ability to simultaneously treat a range of concerns No interruption of lifestyle


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.

Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster.
