Vascular Lesions

We can provide a long term solution to facial problems such as red flushing (Rosacea), thread veins and red spots in just a few quick and easy treatments.

How does the treatment work?

Light energy is applied to the skin where it is readily absorbed by blood vessels, heating them to a point where they are destroyed. Following treatment, the vessels quickly clear as they are reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.

Which types of veins can be treated?

Most red skin lesions, including facial thread veins, rosacea, spider naevi, and port wine stains, can be treated very successfully. Depending on the lesions, leg vessels can also respond well to treatment.

How is the treatment carried out?

The light applicator is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The applicator is moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. During treatment, protective eyewear will be provided.

Are there any side effects?

After treatment the area may feel warm for a few hours. Rarely, some delicate skin areas such as the cheeks or décolleté can be red and slightly swollen for up to 48 hours. Though very rare, there is a chance a small blister may form and there could be temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.

How long does each treatment take?

Treatments typically take from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the type and size of lesion.

How many treatments are necessary?

Typically 3 to 5 treatments are needed for optimum results, though small lesions may clear in just a single session. Repeat treatments are spaced every 4 to
6 weeks.

Consultation procedure

Prior to treatment you must fi rst undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm suitability. Before proceeding you will be asked to sign a consent form and undergo a test patch.

The whole experience with PMA medical has been great so far. My consultation in June with Jen was absolutely amazing. She answered all of my questions (including the ridiculous ones) and talked through the various treatments for my skin that would help me take care of it. Deciding to do a chemical peel was a bit scary for me! I’ve never had a great skin care routine and hearing the words ‘chemical peel’ totally freaked me out. From start to finish when I went in for my Obagi chemical peel, Megan made me feel so comfortable. She explained each step with me, and when asked for more detail, she took the time to help me understand. My face felt absolutely great afterwards! Megan also convinced me to start using SPF and I haven’t not used skin protection since! Going from never having a skin care routine, to feeling confident about my skin and having a routine that fits in my forgetful lifestyle, Megan and Jen are absolute skin savers. Can’t wait for my next one!

Megan is brilliant at what she does! Always makes me feel at ease with the laser therapy and has made a potentially scary procedure seem completely doable. Highly recommend for trans and queer folk too.
