Vascular Skin Treatments
Small spider veins on the face & Leg spider veins, cherry angiomas, milia, small skin tags, sunspot pigmentation, cholesterol deposits, and cystic acne can all be treated.
Telangiectasia, couperose, vascular blemishes or spider veins are the terms used to describe the unsightly “spider” like veins on the face, neck chest and legs. The world of aesthetics uses the term couperose in identifying the dilated capillaries on the upper body. “Spider Veins” is the most familiar term recognized by the general public and actually to all medical and aesthetic fields.
Telangiectasia or “spider veins” are actually capillaries, venules or small veins that lie close to the surface of the skin and show through as red spidery looking areas. Some of these spider veins may be in clusters that appear to be attached and others appear as individual legs. Cherry angiomas resemble a red dot or patch and do not spread out like the web effect of telangiectasia. They can be found on the face, chest, stomach and legs.
The Vascular 300 uses direct current (DC) and high frequency (HF or RF) current to coagulate the capillary. The electric current interacts with the blood gases to coagulate and diminish the capillary. It is effective in diminishing telangiectasia, cherry angiomas and other vascular blemishes.
There are many theories on the causes of these unsightly veins, ranges from heredity to sun damage.
Heredity: Seems to be the most popular theory. It is noted that fair, thin-skinned cultures have a higher incidence of telangiectasia, where more olive complexions rarely have spider veins.
Trauma: Anything that causes deep damage to the dermal layer of skin and interferes with the normal function of the capillaries. The capillaries provide nourishment to the skin and the dermal layer. When trauma occurs, it damages these capillaries, dilating them, changing the appearance to “spider veins” . For example, trauma of the face can result from surgery, blowing the nose or picking at blemishes. It is very common for telangiectasias to erupt along the scar lines where the capillaries have been damaged or displaced during a surgical procedure.
Clients with severe allergies are prone to telangiectasia surrounding the nose from frequent blowing. Telangiectasias as well as cherry angiomas frequently develop from improper or harsh extractions.
Excessive sun exposure: Sun damage is a form of trauma that can result in vascular blemishes. The damage occurs at the dermal layer, dilating the capillaries.
Hormonal: Imbalance resulting from taking birth control pills, pregnancy or menopause is another theory. Menopausal women frequently report the development of telangiectasia at the onset of menopause.
Medications: Particularly those or vascular problems may also cause spider veins. Again there is no long-term scientific data to support which medications may increase the incidence of telangiectasia, though many clients have reported an increase in the number of vascular blemishes after starting a new medication.
Regardless of how vascular blemishes develop, they may cause a person to be embarressed. Women often wear extra make-up to cover the couperose on their face or won’t wear shorts so as not to expose the unsightly spider veins.
The Vascular 300 using the touch method can diminish and control vascular blemishes.
Prior to treatment, a consultation and a complete medical history will be completed and all questions will be answered. Note: Clients that are pregnant, diabetic, epileptic, have a pace maker, or take heart medications and anti-coagulants are all contraindications for this treatment. A pre/post care protocol will be given to acheive the best results possible.
