Diode Laser
The Diolite Laser is ideal for smaller problems such as the tiny spider veins, called telangiectasa, that often show up on your nose or face. A quick zap and many of those small veins disappear immediately.The photo below is before and immediately post-treatment.
The Diolite Laser treats many spots, both brown and red.
- Telangectasia - tiny broken blood vessels
- Cherry Angioma - small red dots that look similar to a tiny drop of blood
- Spider Angioma - similar to cherry angioma
- Freckles and Brown Spots
- Moles
- Dermatosis Papulosis Nigra - small, black marks seen primarily on people of Asian or African descent
How does it work?
A laser generates an intense beam of light. This beam brings energy to a specific site, through a small handpiece connected to the laser.
The laser light is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (bright red blood cells carrying oxygen) and melanin/pigment (black or brown pigment found in the skin) causing decomposition or destruction by heat of unwanted cells while leaving healthy cells intact.
Diolite Treatment benefits include: Excellent and consistent outcome minimal to no discoloration, swelling or complication; Friendly and gentle treatment typically performed without anesthesia or pain; Simple treatment minimal care before and after treatment.
Dr. Fitzgerald will likely treat more complicated vein problems with Vbeam vascular laser. Pigmentation issues that are beyond the scope of Diolite are treated with depigmentation programs such as Cosmelan, Fotofacial IPL intense pulsed light and/or Chemical Peels and Silk Peel.
