Understanding Lesions and How Laser Treatment Can Help

Vascular lesions and benign cutaneous lesions can be more than just a cosmetic concern—they can impact your self-esteem and, in some cases, your health. At GLOW RX, we've harnessed the power of advanced laser technology to offer effective solutions for these skin conditions. Whether you're dealing with spider veins, rosacea, or benign growths like moles and lipomas, our Elite iQ laser treatments can help you achieve clearer, healthier skin. Here's how.

What Are Vascular Lesions?

Vascular lesions are abnormalities of the skin and underlying tissues that result from malformed or dilated blood vessels. Common types include spider veins, port-wine stains, and rosacea. These lesions can vary in appearance, from tiny red capillaries to larger, more conspicuous marks. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and even lifestyle choices like smoking can contribute to their development.

How Laser Treatment Works for Vascular Lesions

Our Elite iQ laser treatment utilizes dual-wavelength technology to target vascular lesions effectively. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels. This causes the vessels to coagulate and be reabsorbed by the body, making the lesion less visible or eliminating it altogether. The treatment is non-invasive and involves minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Why Choose Elite iQ for Vascular Lesions?

The versatility of the Elite iQ system lies in its dual-wavelength capability, which allows us to treat both superficial and deeper lesions. The 755 nm Alexandrite laser is ideal for treating superficial lesions like spider veins, while the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser can target deeper vascular issues. This ensures that we can customize the treatment to your specific needs, providing optimal results regardless of your skin type or the nature of your lesion.

The Benefits

Non-Invasive: No need for stitches or extensive recovery time.

Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to their regular activities almost immediately.

Customizable: Tailored treatments to suit your specific skin type and lesion characteristics.

Effective: Noticeable improvements often after just one session.

What Are Benign Cutaneous Lesions?

Benign cutaneous lesions are non-cancerous growths that appear on the skin. These can include moles, skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, and lipomas. While these lesions are generally harmless, changes in their size, color, or shape can sometimes indicate a more serious condition like melanoma.

How Laser Treatment Works for Benign Cutaneous Lesions

Like with vascular lesions, the Elite iQ laser system can also be used to treat benign cutaneous lesions. The laser's specific wavelengths target the pigment in moles or the tissue in skin tags and lipomas, breaking them down so they can be reabsorbed or shed by the body. The treatment is quick and relatively painless, often requiring no anesthesia or just a topical numbing cream.

Why Choose Elite iQ for Benign Cutaneous Lesions?

When it comes to removing benign cutaneous lesions, precision is key. The Elite iQ system allows us to adjust the laser settings to target only the affected area, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. This ensures a safer, more effective treatment with fewer risks and side effects.

The Benefits

Precision: Targeted treatment minimizes damage to surrounding skin.

Quick Sessions: Most treatments are completed in under an hour.

Minimal Discomfort: Usually requires no anesthesia or a topical numbing cream.

Effective Results: Significant improvement after just one session.
