Vascular Lesion Removal - Laser Surgery

In the Logan, Ogden, Park City, Provo, Salt Lake City,
St. George, Utah and surrounding areas

Vascular lesions are red areas on the surface of the skin that can be caused by many skin conditions including hemangiomas, port wine stains, and broken capillaries. Vascular lesions will not resolve themselves over time, but they can be safely and effectively removed using laser therapy.

There are many different types of lasers that can be used to treat vascular lesions, including V-Beam, Diolite, and YAG lasers. The technology for each is essentially the same. The laser delivers an intense, yet gentle, pulse of light to the targeted area and is then absorbed by the hemoglobin in red blood cells – the same cells that are creating the vascular lesion. When the hemoglobin absorbs the high-energy pulse, it causes the cells to heat up enough for the blood vessel to shut down. When this happens the visible lesion disappears.

 

There are minimal side effects and a low risk of scarring because the laser is calibrated to only affect the hemoglobin in the targeted area. Once the blood vessels causing the lesion have been destroyed, the body will gently break it down and clear it away naturally.
