"My skin has always been one of my best
features—clear and smooth. When I started noticing tiny spider veins on
my cheeks and nose it was very upsetting. The laser treatment took care
of the problem quickly and easily."

Who is a Candidate?
The diode laser is a very intense laser that has the ability to both treat vascular
problems and pigment problems which include; unsightly spider veins or
"broken blood vessels" of the face, rosacea, and people with age or
"liver" spots of the face, hands, neck, or chest "V."

Laser Therapy in Frederick, Maryland
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis usually without
anesthesia, although for very sensitive areas and younger patients it
can be used after topical anesthesia.
The laser has a very fine target and the individual vessels or
pigmented spots need to be traced with the laser light. This results in
high numbers of rapidly fired pulses.
Recovery Time
There is minimal disturbance to the skin and rarely any recovery
period, although swelling for a few hours or a day isn't rare.
Commonly, a touch-up procedure may be needed to treat the few areas
that do not fully respond to the first treatment.
Your Results
Patients who choose laser treatment can see permanent improvement or cure of the above conditions, with
disappearance of the vascular or pigmented areas of concern.
