Some people suffer from the presence of varicose and the emergence of blood vessels in the legs, a very eye-striking thing that causes embarrassment, especially among women. But the question remains: Is there an effective treatment for it? And the answer is “YES”. The Pulsed Dye Laser uses a concentrated beam of light that targets blood vessels in the skin. The light is converted into heat, destroying the blood vessels while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. The laser uses yellow light, which is safe and does not result in any long term damage. The pulsating laser device (V-Beam) is effective and safe for adults and children and even infants to treat such problems. A cold spray produced by the device before the laser pulse reduces sensation and pain. For the treatment of: • Removal of Birthmarks • Rosecea • Varicose veins • Blood Capillaries on face, nose and body • Scars resulting from Acne, surgical operations and smallpox • Abdominal cracks resulting from pregnancy and obesity • Psoriasis • Warts Number of sessions depends on the problem to be treated. To treat people who suffer from vascular tumors, Rosecea, scars, hypertrophic scars and keloids, it may take up to 3 sessions at a rate of one session per month. Side effects are generally minimal. The most common side effect is bruising. With our Pulsed Dye Laser bruising can be minimized or even eliminated. If it should occur, it will be eliminated within 3 days. Sun block for a month before the treatment is recommended as tanned skin blocks the laser light and result is a higher chance of side effects. After treatment, moisturizer applied 3 times a day will help protect the skin and speed up the healing process. Sun protection will help minimize the chances of pigmentation change. Make-up can be used from day 2. Exposure to the sun is not advised before two days and after the session to reduce the chance of pigmented skin. Dr. Qusay Dayoub Derma- Cosmetologist
