What does a vascular or blemish treatment consist of?
Prior to a treatment it is important to avoid tanning or application of self tanner to the treatment area. Tanned skin will make the treatment unsafe. The area to be treated will be cleaned and a clear gel applied. You will be given protective eyewear and a topical anesthetic can be applied if desired. A sapphire cooling plate is held adjacent to the skin to protect the skin surface while selected broad band light energy is absorbed by the blemish or vascular area. Brief warmth or a snapping sensation may be noted during the pulse of energy, though it subsides within a moment. After the treatment the area is cleansed and a cooling gel may be applied. Sunscreen use is strongly recommended after the treatment.
