Text Box: FACIAL BLOOD VESSEL TREATMENT   Facial blood vessels or “telangiectasias” are very common.  They are created by a dilation of tiny blood vessels on the face.  They are found in the folds of the nose, on the rim of the nostrils, and on the cheeks.  Telangiectasias are often associated with chronic sun exposure, as well as with rosacea.  Rosacea is a condition in adults that is associated with redness of the cheeks and nose, dilated blood vessels (telangiectasias), and acne-like bumps.   Treatment of facial telangiectasias is very successful using current FDA approved laser therapy.  Dr. John Kayal, a highly trained laser surgeon, uses a highly versatile, safe and effective laser system.  The most common laser system used is the Cutera CoolGlide Xeo laser.  This is a light laser that has a wavelength of 1064 nanometers.  This laser works so well because this wavelength of light is highly absorbed by hemoglobin, the major component of blood vessels.   The cool tip on the laser handpiece in addition to a topical anesthetic minimizes any patient discomfort.   After treatment with the CoolGlide Xeo laser, there is immediate resolution of the blood vessel.  The laser works by converting light energy into thermal energy and gradually heating the entire blood vessel without rupturing the walls of the blood vessel, and without causing any damage to the overlying skin. There is minimal to no bruising  There is usually some mild redness and minimal swelling that sometimes occurs after the laser treatment.  This usually fades in 6-12 hours.  Makeup can be worn immediately following treatment.     Click here to view some before and after shots of patients.
