How are capillaries removed by laser?
Laser removal of blood vessels in Warsaw – how does it
Laser removal of blood vessels is currently considered the most effective way to combat spider veins, rosacea, and skin redness. Unlike creams or masks, the laser acts precisely on the damaged vessels without damaging the surrounding tissue. After just a few procedures, the skin becomes smoother and redness is significantly reduced.
How does the laser affect blood vessels?
The laser beam is directed directly at the dilated vessel and heats it, causing the walls to “stick together” and the blood to stop circulating in it. Over time, such a vessel gradually dissolves, and the skin acquires an even tone. The procedure is selective — the laser does not damage the surrounding tissues, so recovery is quick and without prolonged redness.
Laser removal of facial veins: why do they appear and how does laser remove them?
Capillaries on the face have very thin walls, their thickness is only a few micrometers. Constant strain on the vessels can increase in the following cases:
- With physical exertion;
- With temperature fluctuations;
- Due to hypertension;
- With age.
Normally, vessels are capable of constriction and stretching, but when these processes are disturbed, capillaries can remain dilated.
Removal of capillaries with a laser causes the effect of intravascular coagulation, which «seals» the affected vessels. In this case, the laser affects only the problem area, without affecting healthy tissue. Neodymium long-pulse beam allows you to permanently eliminate vascular pathologies, regardless of their diameter and color.
Spider veins on the legs: causes and laser removal
There are various causes of spider veins on the legs:
- weak blood vessels
- poor circulation
- hormonal changes
- prolonged strain, for example, during standing work.
Spider veins and reticular veins can be not only a cosmetic defect, but also a sign of vein problems. Laser removal works precisely: the beam penetrates the skin, heats the vessel, and “seals” it from the inside without damaging the surrounding tissue. Over time, the vessel dissolves, and the skin becomes clear and smooth.
How does laser help remove rosacea?
The essence of the method is that the doctor uses a laser device to precisely target problem areas of the skin, causing coagulation of the vessels. This allows you to completely remove small vessels and significantly reduce the size of large ones, making them less noticeable.
