When would a patient in New Orleans, LA benefit from vascular lasers?

By

Dermatological technology continues to improve to allow patients in the New Orleans, LA area to enjoy beautiful, healthy looking skin. One of the ways the team at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology can help patients in addressing problematic skin is with the use of vascular lasers. They are typically used to treat several conditions, including:

• Dilated capillaries
• Scarring
• Hemangiomas
• Spider and varicose veins
• Birthmarks
• Skin tone, color and texture
• Stretch marks
• Blue veins on the temple and near the eyes

A dermatologist such as Dr. Mary Lupo may suggest vascular laser treatments if any of the above conditions are present. However, there are many ways to address some of these problems, and speaking with her during a consultation visit is best for making an educated decision regarding skin care options. A complete medical history will be done to determine if patients are appropriate candidates for vascular laser treatments, and if other solutions should be considered before performing laser therapies.

Vascular lasers are done during a simple outpatient procedure and they include very few risks. Some patients may experience bruising after treatment, but this often disappears within days. Patients are encouraged to ask Dr. Mary Lupo about any concerns they may have about treatment and what to expect before, during, and after their laser therapies. Treatment time varies, depending on the size of the area being treated. For example, treatment of the legs for varicose veins may take considerably longer than addressing specific angiomas or small veins.
