Rosacea, Veins, Telangiectasia and Redness:
The Sciton Profile BBL laser can be used for these conditions with excellent success. Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin condition and desired result. Dr. Seaver will restore your skin's youthful color. Broken capillaries and other visible vascular structures will be gently eliminated from the visible layers of your skin's surface. Certain patterns of facial redness and broken capillaries are called Rosacea. Unwanted vessels will be preferentially heated by the laser's energy and become less noticeable.
What areas can be treated?
All areas of the skin can be treated. Popular areas are the face, neck, chest and legs. Redness on the neck is called poikiloderma. There is little risk in the treatment of these benign conditions. In some cases repeat treatment will be necessary depending on your response to the treatment and the result desired. Your doctor will discuss the potential risks of your specific condition prior to treatment.
How long will it take to recover?
Your healing time will depend on your actual treatment. There is virtually no downtime and you can resume moderate activity immediately. You may experience erythena (redness) which may last several days. Your physician can answer questions about temporary changes to your skin color and how they may be camouflaged. Your skin will have a pink or red color that will resolve over time. You will need to avoid direct sun exposure, or use a sun block of at least SPF 30 with a zinc base when outdoors. There is little or no discomfort and no need for anesthesia.
What will happen during the procedure?
Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. Profile's laser beam will be delivered to the area of your skin being treated. You may briefly feel a warm or hot sensation as the laser pulses are absorbed in the unwanted vessels, heating and destroying them. The procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour depending on the size of the area to be treated.
What aftercare will I need?
Follow Dr. Seaver's or his staff's instructions. You may be supplied some skin care products and instructions on how to use them. This will minimize the risk of inflammation or redness and ensure the shortest recovery time. Any vessels denatured by the laser will be reabsorbed by your body over a period of time in a natural cleansing process.
Your skin will be sensitive to ultraviolet light, and you must avoid direct sun exposure. Many of the conditions treated by the laser will have been caused by sun exposure, so avoiding the sun will prolong your new youthful appearance. You will need to fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
