vascular laser<br />

BEFORE<br />

AFTER<br />

This young woman has a lightly pigmented skin with fine telangiectatic blood vessels<br />

on both upper cheek areas. It was a simple procedure to close these small vessels with<br />

one treatment of vascular laser. The ‘after’ photo, which was taken one month after the<br />

procedure, shows the skin on her cheeks free of any blood vessels on the surface and<br />

with no loss of normal pigmentation in the treated area.<br />

BEFORE<br />

AFTER<br />

This man was troubled <strong>by</strong> nasal vessels and was consequently labelled a ‘drinker’<br />

even though he did not drink alcohol at all. Rosacea vessels of this kind affect the nasal<br />

region in men more than women, which can cause social stigma for affected individuals.<br />

The vessels can be difficult to close because of the high pressure behind them, but this<br />

patient achieved a good result after only one vascular treatment. The ‘after’ photo was<br />

taken three weeks after the procedure.<br />
