Vascular pathologies of the skin can manifest themselves in different ways: in the form of a capillary network, spider veins, angiomas and hemangiomas, as well as wine stains. Such shortcomings do not pose a danger to human health and life, however, they cause psychological discomfort for the patient.
The solution of such aesthetic problems requires an individual approach, and among the existing methods for eliminating aesthetic imperfections of vascular origin, laser therapy is the most effective, and therefore popular.
Types of aesthetic imperfections of vascular origin and ways to eliminate them
The main cause of the appearance of vascular skin pathologies is the stretching of the walls of small vessels, the loss of their elasticity. In addition, a decrease in the density of the connective tissue also affects the manifestation of this problem.
As a result of the above disorders, various aesthetic problems appear on the skin, among which the most common are:
- rosacea;
- varicose veins;
- spider veins (telangiectasias);
- capillary mesh;
- angiomas;
- hemangiomas;
- port wine stains.
We'll look at:
- laser treatment features;
- features of miniphlebectomy.
What do you need to know about laser treatment of vascular skin pathologies?
In the clinic "MED CITY" vascular diseases are treated by several methods:
- injectable (sclerotherapy, foam sclerotherapy);
- laser (laser removal of vessels, phototreatment of vessels);
- operative (miniphlebectomy, phlebectomy, endovasal laser coagulation of veins).
One of the most effective methods of treating vascular pathologies of the skin is laser therapy. During the laser procedure, targeted damage to blood vessels (20-50 microns in diameter) occurs under the influence of light with a wavelength of approximately 520-600 nm. It is this radiation that is perfectly absorbed by hemoglobin (erythrocyte chromophore in blood vessels), but is not absorbed by the rest of the skin structures. Thus, adjacent tissues are not injured by the laser beam.
Treatment of vascular pathologies of the skin is carried out according to the principle of selective photothermolysis.
The procedure for eliminating vascular diseases by laser treatment itself is painless, however, some patients, due to increased skin sensitivity, may experience unpleasant sensations and certain discomfort. To avoid this, epidermal cooling is applied.
Laser therapy for vascular pathologies of the skin is selected individually in each case. Thus, qualified specialists without fail evaluate the condition of the patient's skin, the depth of the location of problematic vessels, the size and characteristics of aesthetic imperfections associated with vascular disorders.
A patient will receive accurate information about the number of sessions required only after consulting a doctor, since in order to determine the necessary course of treatment, it is necessary to evaluate the above parameters.
The effectiveness and safety of the procedure largely depends on the use of high-quality laser equipment, which has proven itself in solving skin vascular problems.
The main advantages of removing vascular pathologies of the skin with a laser are:
- no scarring, burns or other skin damage;
- painlessness of the procedure;
- high efficiency (laser therapy has been used for more than 30 years);
- no age limit;
- no recovery period;
- minimum contraindications.
Indications and features of miniphlebectomy in the clinic "MED CITY"
Another effective surgical minimally invasive method for removing varicose veins, which is successfully used in the MED CITY clinic, is miniphlebectomy. Varicose veins are removed using special hooks and a spatula through small punctures in the skin, resulting in no scars after the procedure. Due to the use of local anesthesia, the procedure is painless for the patient.
Miniphlebectomy is performed by highly qualified phlebologists of the MED CITY clinic with more than 10 years of experience.
Indications for miniphlebectomy are:
- tortuous branches of varicose veins on the legs that protrude at least 2 mm above the surface of the skin;
- presence of a cosmetic vascular defect;
- burning sensation and discomfort.
Before miniphlebectomy, the affected area is marked (under the control of ultrasound) in order to determine the outflow and inflow paths.
The patient can return to normal life on the day of the procedure. Restrictions after miniphlebectomy:
- recommended to refrain from sports for 3-8 days;
- refrain from showering for 1-2 days;
- it is recommended to wear compression underwear for 2-8 days after the procedure.
Do not forget that the procedures for the removal of vascular pathologies of the skin have certain contraindications, so it is necessary to notify the attending physician about the presence of any health problems in order to exclude the risk of undesirable consequences. An individual approach and a high level of service provide maximum treatment efficiency and exceptional comfort for patients of the MED CITY clinic.
