Laser treatment of Angioma

At the moment, vascular laser treatment is the most effective therapy for considerable cosmetic improvement of angioma. This improvement can even go as far as a total cure. This treatment does not usually necessitate a retreat from your professional or social life.

Indications

• Facial angioma as well as other parts of the body.

Technique

After applying a cooling agent on the skin, a laser light is distributed evenly over the entire surface to be treated. A short light pulse produces a transitional violet hue which disappears over the days following the intervention.

Results

• Good to excellent.
• Very good skin quality post-treatment.
• Cases very rarely resist to laser treatment.

Programme

• 4 - 8 sessions (sometimes more) every 2 months.

Advantages of the technique

• Treatment is fast and ambulatory.
• Anaesthetic not usually required.
• Improved skin quality post-treatment.

Interessting facts

• Sun tanning is not recommended prior to vascular laser treatment.
• High sun protection is essential until the immediate post (treatment/operative) signs have disappeared (purple spotting and possible transitory oedema).
• Camouflage foundation can be applied immediately post treatment.
