Pulsed Dye Laser
Pulsed Dye Laser(PDL) is one of the most effect lasers that we currently have in treating vascular lesions. PDL were created almost 40 years ago but have undergone some significant improvement over the last couple of years. That is way it is so important that you treatment be performed in a facilities with updated knowledge and equipment.
PDL can be used for a multitude of vascular lesions including:
- Fine vessels
- Rosacea and Diffuse Redness
- Cherry Angioma
- Port Wine Stains
- Hemangiomas
- Scar Revision
- Stretch Marks
- Warts
Before the procedure a topical numbing cream may be applied for about 30 minutes. Next the skin is cleaned off and appropriate eyewear is put on by the patient and provider. The laser pulses out a short burst of cool air to protect the tissue and then fires a laser pulse. After the treatment a cool gelpack will be applied to the treated area. You may notice some mild redness and swelling which will resolve over the next day or so. Treatments can be repeated every 4-6 weeks.
