Vascular Lesion Treatment

Vascular Lesion Treatment

Vascular Lesion Treatment | Beverly Hills Medical Spa | West HollywoodVascular lesions refer to abnormal blood vessels that start becoming visible through the skin. These lesions are harmless and can occur in any area of the body, but they are most commonly seen on the face and legs. Typical vascular lesions include port wine stains, spider veins, hemangioma and telangiectasia. 

Vascular lesions can make you look older and affect the aesthetic appearance of your skin. Advance laser based med spa treatments are now available to treat vascular lesions for cosmetic purposes. 

Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides safe and proven aesthetic procedures to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities. 

 

Laser Treatment for Vascular Lesions

Laser treatments have been the gold standard for safe and effective removal of unsightly vascular lesions for several years. Laser therapy is a safe and non-surgical med spa procedure involving the application of light energy on the affected areas of your skin. 

Vascular lesions will absorb the maximum light energy, and will get heated to the point of coagulation. When this happens, the lesion will be natural absorbed by the body through the internal healing process.

 

Types of Vascular Lesions Treated with Lasers

The following are some of the common vascular lesions that can be successfully treated with a med spa laser therapy by an experienced provider: 

  • Spider veins (unsightly veins that may occur on the legs and face)
  • Port-wine stains (red birthmarks that are usually present at birth)
  • Rosacea (red facial lesions that could make you look sunburned)
  • Telangiectasia (blood vessels which may cause red thread-like lines on your skin)
  • Poikiloderma (red color pigment on your skin which could occur because of sun damage)
  • Hemangiomas (a group of bright red vessels constituting a birthmark)

 

How does the Laser Treatment Work?

Certain laser therapies are designed specifically to target the blood vessels of a vascular lesion, while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue undamaged. An experienced laser treatment provider can safely remove the pigmented tissue without causing any harm to the adjacent skin. 

The laser system includes a unique cooling device that will continue to protect the skin against overheating, while keeping you comfortable throughout the treatment session.

 

What to Expect During Your Vascular Lesion Treatment?

Your laser expert at the med spa will provide you eye protection so that the sharp light does no harm to your eyes. They will then begin to pass the laser hand piece over the treatment site. You will experience a cooling sensation prior to each laser pulse, which will ensure that your skin remains at a comfortable, tolerable temperature. 

Depending on your needs, your provider may apply topical anesthesia prior to the treatment to keep you completely comfortable during the procedure. Following the treatment process, you should wear a sunscreen as advised by your provider because your skin will be sensitive for a few days.

Spider Vein Removal Treatment

Spider Vein Removal Treatment | Beverly Hills Medical Spa | Los AngelesSpider veins and minor varicose veins are a common problem, which usually appears in the legs. One of the safest and most effective med spa treatments to remove spider veins is Asclera injections. This unique vein injection treatment involves a prescription medication that will work to eliminate the unwanted spider veins in a minimally invasive way.  

Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides safe and proven aesthetic procedures to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

 

How does Asclera Injectable Treatment Work?

A sclerotherapy expert at the med spa will administer Asclera injections through tiny needs directly into the targeted spider veins in the legs. When the medication is injected in the affected vein, it will cause the blood vessel lining to swell, resulting in blockage of blood flow. Once the blood supply stops in the diseased vein, it will clot and get destroyed. 

The body’s natural metabolic process will absorb the vein, while the blood flow will be re-routed through surrounding healthy veins. As the spider vein gradually gets absorbed, the skin surface will become clear and the vein will no longer be visible. 

 

Candidacy for Sclerotherapy

You could be a candidate for Asclera injection med spa therapy if you have one or more of the following signs:

  • You are reluctant to wear skirts or shorts because the spider veins on your legs appear noticeable and unsightly 
  • You wear leg makeup or pantyhose to hide purple, blue or red veins that are showing on the skin’s surface
  • You want to avoid an invasive surgery, and seek a non-surgical spider vein removal treatment with minimal discomfort and downtime 

 

Key Features of Asclera Injections

Asclera treatment is ideal for treating uncomplicated spider veins that appear close to the skin’s surface as well as uncomplicated varicose veins that may bulge from the skin’s surface. 

An experienced treatment provider can complete one Asclera injection session in about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the problem and your personal cosmetic goals. You may require multiple treatment sessions or follow-up appointments to achieve your desired results. 

To be safe, your provider will schedule each treatment session of sclerotherapy at least one to two weeks apart. Final outcomes with Asclera injectable treatment can be as good as what you may expect with more invasive treatments or with laser vein removal. In fact, many patients report superior results with Asclera injections compared to other treatment approaches. 

 

Choose a Well-Equipped Med Spa 

Spider vein treatment should only be performed a skilled and experienced injection provider who can deliver safe and predictable results. The injections must be placed directly into the affected vein for successful results. 

In some cases, the provider may want to examine the real condition of the veins more clearly and may order an ultrasound test. Depending on your situation, the provider should also have the ability to combine sclerotherapy with another treatment for cumulative benefits.
