Red Relief Laser - V-Beam

This laser targets abnormal blood vessels and redness of the skin. Common treatments include broken blood vessels of the face, chest, or legs, rosacea, red birthmarks like hemangiomas and port wine stains, angiomas, venous lakes of the lips, and poikiloderma of Civatte (neck redness from longstanding sun exposure).

One treatment will result in marked improvement, but 2 – 4 treatments can be necessary to produce the best results. Treatments are done 4 weeks apart.

The laser pulses feel like "a rubber band snapping against the skin". No anesthesia is required. This laser is safe and effective treatment for vascular lesions with no "downtime." It is so safe that it has been used to successfully treat port wine stains on infants as young as a few weeks old.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy, is the injection of a specialized solution into spider veins to make them disappear. This virtually painless procedure is the gold standard in treating small leg veins. Lasers have not proven to be as effective as this treatment modality. 1 to 3 treatment sessions a recommended for optimal results.

Mole Removal

Moles are dark spots or irregularities found on the skin. They come in various shapes and sizes. Moles can appear anywhere on the skin -- from head to toe, in groups, or by themselves. They can be present at birth or appear over time. Some moles can be unattractive and warrant removal cosmetically or for medical reasons. Mole removal is a great solution for those wanting to improve their appearance and reduce associated health risks.

Skin Tag Removal

Skin tags are small, unsightly growths that develop around the eyes, neck, armpits, and groin. They look like small little balls of skin attached to the body by a thin stalk. The medical name is acrochordon or fibroepithelial polyp. They are largely harmless and, with the exception of one rare variant, are not cancerous.

The tendency to develop skin tags is inherited but being overweight is also a contributing factor. The exact cause is unknown, but frictional pressure of skin rubbing against skin may be an influence. Skin tags may need treatment if they become inflamed or necrotic, but generally are considered a cosmetic problem.
