Vascular & Pigmented Lesion Removal in Southend-on-Sea & Rayleigh, Essex at JR Medical
What are vascular lesions and pigmented lesions?
Vascular lesions and pigmented lesions are common abnormalities of the skin and underlying tissue. These types of lesions include a variety of birthmarks and freckle-like pigmentation, caused by the sun.
Vascular lesions are known as birthmarks and pigmented lesions are skin spots caused by melanocyte cells in the skin. These are the cells that produce skin pigment. Common pigmented lesions include age spots and other brown spots on the skin.
What treatment do we offer for pigmented and vascular lesions?
IPL laser treatment is the best treatment option for vascular lesions of the face. This treatment breaks up the melanin, via pulses of light energy, so that the spots appear lighter and skin tone evener. Sclerotherapy, which is an injection of a medication to destroy the blood vessels, is a better option for spider veins on the legs.
How many treatments are required?
Depending on the size and the area of the lesion you may need between 4-6 treatments to control the problem, then obviously considering the predisposing factors regular check-ups should be done and further treatments performed if necessary.
Is vascular & pigmented lesion removal safe?
Lower energy levels result in superior results and maximum safety. Most people experience no side effects at all, though a few exhibit some short-term local reddening of the surrounding skin. Treatments require no patient downtime. Published studies state that the risk of scarring is less than 1%.
