Vascular laser

YAG TECHNOLOGY – PULSED DYE:

The Centre is equipped with two vascular lasers, as there is a laser for each type of blood vessel pathology.

THE TARGETED STRUCTURE:

Each laser has a specific treatment target. When discussing laser hair removal, the target is the pigmentation of the hair.

The vascular laser targets the blood contained within the blood vessel.

INDICATIONS FOR THE VASCULAR LASER:

It is important to understand the types of blood vessels that vascular lasers can effectively treat.

To this end, a complimentary medical consultation is invariably carried out in advance with a laser physician at the Centre. During this session, we will check if your skin has no contraindications for the laser procedure. A quotation and consent form will be provided during this consultation.

COMPLIMENTARY ASSESSMENT BEFORE ANY PROCEDURE :

Because we must always be transparent with you, every procedure performed by one of our laser physicians initially goes through a complimentary assessment to systematically determine if your skin has any contraindications for the laser treatment. A quotation and consent forms will be provided during this consultation.

WHICH VESSELS?

The common factor in all vascular pathologies is the dilation of blood vessels. When numerous, this becomes unsightly and uncomfortable.

There are various pathologies of the blood vessel:

Erythrosis: diffuse redness of the face exacerbated by climatic variations, temperature changes, and certain foods. This redness may be permanent or occur in episodes known as flushes. In erythrosis, the blood vessels are not distinguishable, only a diffuse redness.
Couperose: well-defined and continuously visible blood vessels on the face, neck, and décolletage.
Varicosities of the lower limbs: similar to couperose but located on the legs.
Ruby spots, angiomas, and erythrosis coli are also treated at the Centre.

DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES OF VASCULAR LASERS:

The vascular laser works by destroying the blood vessel through its intravascular coagulation system.

There are two modes:

- Simple coagulation mode
- Purpura mode: this corresponds to the complete destruction of the vessel, accompanied by the diffusion of blood under the skin, resulting in the appearance of a blue mark that fades in a few days.

CONTRAINDICATIONS TO VASCULAR LASER:

We do not treat pregnant women, patients with inflammatory dermatological diseases, or patients undergoing photosensitising treatments.

ADVERSE EFFECTS OF VASCULAR LASER:

As with all medical techniques, there is no such thing as zero risk.

However, it is important to be aware of and understand the aftereffects of laser treatment according to the indications.

The laser in simple coagulation mode will have few adverse effects. However, one may experience redness and swelling that can persist from 3 to 15 days.

The laser in purpura mode results in bruising due to the destruction of the blood vessel and the consequent diffusion of blood outside the vessel. It is striking but very effective on erythrosis.

Other adverse effects are extremely rare (pain, tingling, rare burns, hyper or hypopigmentation). The advanced technology used in lasers is completely safe.

PROCEDURE OF VASCULAR LASER SESSIONS:

Patients at the Centre are treated solely by qualified physicians. Depending on the area being treated, the session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.

The laser centre is equipped with a skin cooling system that numbs the skin while the laser shots are delivered. Sensitivity during the sessions is quite tolerable. At the end of the session, the laser physician will apply a soothing cream.

Depending on the severity of the vascular lesions, it will be necessary to carry out between 1 and 4 sessions. There are however cases where the number of sessions may be higher. Maintenance sessions will certainly be needed every year or two.

The interval between each session is approximately 4 weeks.

To ensure complete safety, we remind patients that we do not treat those who have been exposed to the sun or UV rays during the month prior to the session and after the session.

Sun protection is therefore mandatory after any laser treatment.

Our centre is equipped with the following devices: Vbeam Perfecta by Candela and GentleMax Pro by Candela.

All laser treatments conducted at the Centre are carried out by our team of qualified physicians. The use of lasers is a MEDICAL PROCEDURE.

Christelle's testimonial, our patient: 

“It happened overnight… One evening, I had a bit more wine than usual and felt a wave of heat rising on my cheeks. Upon returning home, I thought it would pass, and the next day, I began to experience redness, followed by small spots and a burning sensation on my face.”

My first instinct was not to worry and to camouflage my imperfections with foundation. What a mistake! This only caused it to become infected and made things worse. The symptoms persisted over time.

I tried to live without too much concern, not really knowing if there were solutions to my problem… But my outbreaks became regular. I could no longer bear it; I was afraid to go out, to drink, or even to eat spicy food… I couldn’t wear makeup at all. A huge couperose had taken over my cheeks.

I therefore decided to resort to the vascular laser treatment at the Centre Esthétique Paris.

After an assessment, they immediately diagnosed couperose. I admit I was very well looked after and the laser physician saved my skin.

After several sessions, the results are impressive:

My redness has truly diminished.
My skin quality is smoother.
No more spots
No more couperose

Results achieved after one session
