At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we offer several laser and cosmetic services that are popular among our male patients.  For men looking for facial rejuvenation, they may choose from procedures such as laser skin resurfacing, micro-laser peels, and photofacial rejuvenation.  Laser skin resurfacing and photofacial treatments can be used to treat sun spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring. Laser skin resurfacing uses precise, pulsed beams of light to target surface problem areas while our photofacial uses pulses of laser light for a deeper treatment.  Our micro-laser peels use Erbium laser technology to remove the top damaged layers of skin while stimulating collagen production in deeper layers.  Male patients benefit from the minimal downtime involved with these treatments, allowing them to quickly return to their daily activities.

Other procedures that are common among males include laser hair removal, spider vein treatments, and Viora™ Reaction skin tightening.  Men who are tired of shaving everyday can benefit from laser hair removal, which permanently reduces the growth of hair. Popular areas of treatment for men include the face, arms, back, and underarms.  Our spider vein treatments can treat broken blood vessels on the face without the use of injections or incisions.  Our medical grade laser technology is safe for most skin types.  To address areas of loose skin, Viora™ Reaction is an advanced non-invasive technology that can help refirm and tighten skin without the downtime of traditional body sculpting procedures. This technology is especially beneficial for men looking to resolve sagging skin around the neck and face, providing a tighter, more alert appearance.

Facial Spider Vein Removal at Laser Lights

Posted on by

It’s almost September; as the weather begins to cool down, we’ll see more pants and leggings and fewer shorts and skirts.  Although you can use clothing to cover up spider veins on your legs, unsightly blood vessels on your face are much more difficult to hide.

These enlarged veins pose no functional concern, but appear close to the surface of the skin often showing up as a reddish or bluish color. At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center many patients often ask if facial spider veins can be safely treated. As a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) our office is committed to safety and clinical care in the field of medical lasers. Our experienced staff treats each patient with the highest standard of care using only medical grade lasers rather than injections or incisions.

Most patients will require one to three treatments for elimination of spider veins. During your pre-treatment consultation, we will be able to provide you with a more specific estimate for your particular needs. Patients also frequently ask what increases their chances of developing spider veins. If you spent a lot of time in the sun this summer you may be more likely to develop facial spider veins.  Other factors that may cause spider veins include age, pregnancy, hormones, and obesity.

Women are not the only ones who suffer from spider veins. According to the U.S. Department of Health, about 40 to 45 percent of men in the U.S. suffer from some type of vein problem. If you are interested in laser vein treatment or other laser services we offer please contact our office today.  Be sure to connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ for the latest on laser vein treatments and news.

Atlanta Spider Vein Elimination

Posted on by

The providers of Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center offer a variety of services to remove or reduce skin imperfections. With over twelve different lasers, we’re able to successfully remove age spots, freckles, birthmarks, and even tattoos to name a few. In fact, our lasers are able to eliminate unsightly spider veins.

Spider veins are those pesky little purple, blue, and red veins that look like a web or tree branches and most often appear on the face and legs. Facial spider veins are often associated with rosacea symptoms. While the true causes of spider veins have not been determined, many have speculated factors like genetics, age, hormones, and obesity might have something to do with their origin. No matter what causes them, they can be frustrating and even embarrassing. Our laser vein removal patients often complain that they do everything to try to cover up spider veins—even if it means wearing long pants all summer.

Fortunately there’s no need to continue hiding your spider veins because we offer spider vein elimination at Laser Lights. Our laser targets the pigment within the blood vessel without harming the skin. The vessels absorb the laser light and gradually disappear. Some patients can achieve the results they’re after in just one spider vein treatment, but depending on the extent of the spider veins, up to three treatments may be necessary for complete removal.

Patients often inquire about the safety of this treatment because eliminating veins sounds a little scary. However, it’s very important to understand spider veins do not function properly, and removing spider veins does not affect the circulatory system’s function. Although many patients are able to engage in normal activities after laser vein removal and side effects are rare, some patients may experience mild redness and sometimes bruising in the treatment area for a few days after treatment. Just like we warn all of our laser patients, it’s also important to avoid sun exposure for a few weeks before laser spider vein treatment as well as a few weeks after to avoid hyperpigmentation.

As with any laser skin treatment, it’s important to find a qualified laser provider to perform your treatment. If you’re interested in spider vein treatment, schedule a consultation today. In addition to laser services, we offer a variety of non-laser treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, Viora Reaction™ skin tightening, and massage therapy.
