What Are Vascular Blemishes?
Broken capillaries and spider veins are classified in
medical terminology as "telangiectasias". There are
many different names associated with these lesions,
including "Blood Mole, " "Blood Dot", as well as the
cosmetic/aesthetic term "Couperose Skin". Blood
moles resemble a red dot or patch and can appear
nearly anywhere on the body. Capillaries under the
eye or around the nose as well as the neck or upper
chest are vascular blemishes treatable with VascuTouch.
The pictures on the left represent before and after
using
VascuTouch.
How Did I Get Them?
Heredity seems to be the most popular theory. It is noted
that those with fair skin have a higher incidence of
theories include age, hormones, sun exposure, alcohol consumption and other
predisposing medical conditions. Trauma to the skin may also cause telangiectasia to
develop. Whatever their origin, these vascular blemishes can be removed easily and permanently with a device called VascuTouch.
Q How long does the treatment take?
A Most blemishes are removed in seconds. Depending on
the number of capillaries most conditions can be
successfully and permanently treated in one ten to
fifteen minute treatment.
Q Is the procedure safe?
A Typically, telangiectasis are very superficial and can be
treated with a sterile, disposable probe.
Electrocoagulation has been used safely for years to
remove vascular blemishes.
Q Does it hurt?
A Some experience a "pinprick" sensation that can be
mildly uncomfortable. However, when a topical
anesthetic cream is applied to the area most of the
discomfort is taken away.
Q What other methods can be used to treat
vascular blemishes?
A Many physicians use a hyfrecation device. A hyfrecator
applies a high voltage of RF (radio frequency) current
to the surface of the skin. This method tends to be very
painful and often scars surrounding tissue. Another
method is laser treatment. Though painful and very
expensive, the appropriate laser can be quite effective in
treating vascular blemishes.
How Is It Done?
The surface of the skin is cleansed and prepped. A fine
tipped sterile probe is placed on the surface of the
blemish. Low level RF and DC current is passed through
the probe to the vessel. The blood in the tiny vessel is
clotted or coagulated and stops flowing. With the proper
"post" treatment care the vessel is naturally absorbed
into the surrounding tissue and typically within three
to four weeks will disappear.
What About "Post" Treatment Care?
The VascuTouch electrocoagulates each tiny vessel
and the blood stops flowing. You need to pay
attention not to disturb the treated vessels for 24 hours.
Undue stress could cause renewed blood flow and the
vessel will not dry up and be absorbed. With proper
care, the treated vessel will tend to look darker the
next day. This is normal and a good sign that the
vessel was properly treated.

Skin Tags?
Yes! Skin tags, no matter where they are located on the
body can be treated in minutes with the VascuTouch
and fall off within 3 to 4 days.

What is the Revitalight Skin Care
System?
Developed by dermatologists who knew the average person did not need an invasive
sometimes painful procedure to minimize the signs of aging, Revitalight incorporates
a unique photopulsation technology.
Photopulsation uses light-emitting diodes, or LEDs similar to those that illuminate
alarm clocks and VCRs, and a micro massager as the basis of a revolutionary
skin care system for spas and salons. The frequency and duration of
the LEDs
in the photopulsation process are the keys to Revitalight's safe and effective
light technology that gradually helps alleviate the signs of aging.
What areas can be treated?
The Revitalight treatment is especially effective in helping
to improve the
appearance of the skin on your face, neck, chest and hands.
What does a Revitalight treatment consist
of?
Each relaxing treatment takes approximately
20 minutes. Beginning with a
cleansed face, a trained professional will slowly move the large pulsator
light over your neck and face. To further improve the appearance of
your skin, the small pulsator light will concentrate on your finer lines
and wrinkles to complete your Revitalight treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
A series of six treatments with a two-week
interval between each treatment
is recommended. After each treatment you should notice an improvement
in the appearance of your skin. To maintain the results of the
Revitalight treatments, one treatment every
two months is recommended.
What results can I expect?
Your skin will appear smoother, tighter
and more radiant, showing continued
gradual improvements in your skin's appearance with each subsequent
treatment. We recommend that you take a photograph of yourself before
your first treatment and after your sixth.
