Love Your Body - Closing blood vessels on the face

What are spider veins?
The so-called spider veins are the super-thin red lines you can see with a naked eye on the skin surface in a web-shaped form.

Why do spider veins appear on your face?
Spider veins are dilated blood vessels, usually considered an aesthetic issue, particularly on the face where they can cause serious discomfort. A tendency to develop broken capillaries is usually a genetic predisposition, but it may also be a sign of skin hypersensitivity, hormonal disorders or blood circulation disorders. Spider veins do not just affect your skin condition but also its appearance; therefore, patients experiencing this problem are now more willing to undergo aesthetic medicine procedures for closing them.

V-LASER - an efficient method of removing visible veins
At Dr Parda Aesthetic Medicine Clinic, problems with diluted capillaries on the face are resolved with V-LASER, a device that will close the blood vessels effectively. The procedure is pain-free, though most patients will experience a gentle burning sensation. V-LASER emits long pulses capable of reaching deeper veins. It should be noted that V-LASER is safe even on delicate skin, due to its advanced GENESIS technology. Every patient will be examined by an expert before the procedure, to assess the skin condition and verify any contraindications for laser treatment. The doctor will interview the patient and evaluate the blood vessel condition, depth and location. Every procedure is preceded by a face peel to improve the performance by preventing excessive dispersion of laser light.

V-LASER, what is it used for?
• closing blood vessels on the face,
• closing blood vessels on the legs,
• treatment of face erythema,
• treatment of rosacea,
• treatment of staining and pigmentation issues,
• closing blood vessels around the nose.

When are V-LASER procedures not recommended?
• general infection,
• skin infection at the point of application,
• use of photosensitizing medications,
• skin conditions such as vitiligo, psoriasis.

How to take care about your skin after a laser procedure?
Right after a spider vein closing procedure with V-LASER, minor swelling and redness may appear on the face, which should disappear without any intervention after a few days. Do not apply alcohol-based cosmetics on the skin, try to avoid skin peels and rough towels up to a week after the procedure. Treat your skin gently after a V-LASER procedure for a full recovery.
