The 5 Things You Need to Know About Pulsed Dye Laser Treatment
It’s a targeted treatment: Pulsed dye lasers specifically target vascular lesions like rosacea, spider veins, and post inflammatory erythema from acne. The laser’s wavelength is absorbed by blood vessels, effectively reducing their visibility.
There’s minimal downtime: One of the key benefits is limited downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities soon after treatment, although some temporary redness or swelling may occur.
It’s versatile: These lasers are not just for vascular issues; they can enhance skin texture and tone. They can stimulate the production of collagen to reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines.
Multiple sessions may be needed: multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results. Dr. Wiznia will help determine the best treatment plan for you.
It’s safe: Pulsed dye lasers are considered safe for various skin types. Many patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure, often described as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin.
