Methods Used for Pigmented Lesion and Vein Removal
Are you suffering from red veins on the face or pigmented skin lesions and unwanted hair? These are oftentimes a problem for people and can lead to a lower self-confidence as the face is the first thing people see when they look at us. Having these skin issues can make it hard to face the world for some people and for that reason there are now a number of ways to eliminate these issues by way of the laser removal and even prescription skin bleaching creams.
Different types of lasers can be used to remove vascular lesions on the skin. All of these procedures can be easily done in a doctor’s office for the most part. The most common vascular lesions removed by a laser are spider veins and port-wine stain birthmarks. Most spider veins on the face can be removed in only one treatment. Port-wine stains may take more than one treatment depending on how severe they are.
Spider Vein Laser Treatments & Pigmented Skin Laser Reduction
Laser treatments are another popular method used to help reduce the appearance of veins and pigmented skin areas you may be suffering with. Spider veins are a huge culprit and many people want these eliminated as it can affect how the skin looks. In the summer months, this can look unsightly while wearing shorts, tank tops, or even bathing suits. Other things that are commonly treated with lasers include rosacea and vascular lesions which are formed by a large amount of blood vessels that are under the skin.
Lasers generate light beam that is used on affected areas. This energy emitted from the laser is absorbed by bright red blood cells found under the skin and allow the destruction of these unwanted cells that lead to pigmented skin.
While having this done you’ll wear goggles to help protect your eyes from the laser and afterwards, you’ll feel some stinging sensations that will go away as well as some redness. With skin brightening creams and laser treatments you always want to consult with your doctor to determine if these are the right options for you. Having skin that is free from these types of imperfections is something we all want so you should look into these options.
Bleaching Creams
Prescription creams can be used to treat darkened areas or spots of the face. These types of creams are designed to help with fading imperfections on the face such as age spots, liver spots and even sun spots. Most people who use these creams use them to treat skin imperfections that have been bothering them for quite a while. Some people even find that they help with reducing the appearance of acne scarring and can make hair look brighter and less noticeable.
While some people use these creams for just their face, others use it on their entire body if they have dark spots on other areas such as on their shoulders or to even lighten scars from previous accidents or scratches. The active ingredient in these products helps to reduce the amount of melanin that’s in the skin where it’s applied
