- What is VascuLight™?
VascuLight™ is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses light therapy to
eliminate vascular conditions. VascuLight™ safely eliminates facial veins and
vascular birthmarks without injections or surgery.
- How does VascuLight™ work?
VascuLight™ generates  intense pulses of light which safely destroys unsightly blood vessels so
they fade ands slowly disappear. Treatment is applied by placing a hand-held treatment
unit on your skin.
- What are vascular birthmarks?
Vascular birthmarks such as port wine stains, rosacea, and hemangiomas are red, pink or
bluish discolorations which sometimes appear at birth. In many cases they develop with
age. They are made up of many blood vessels grouped together in the skin. Small spider
veins often appear on the face and other parts of the body as one ages or as a result of
accidents or medication.
- Who are the candidates for treatment?
 Most people, including children, may be treated with VascuLight™
however, a consultation with our staff will determine if your condition is suitable for
VascuLight™ treatments.
- Will treatment hurt?
Treatment involves pulses of intense light, similar to the flash of a camera. You
may feel a slight pinch or snap of a rubber band. No anesthesia or pain medication is
required.
- Are there side effects?
 You may experience some short term side effects. This may include slight
reddening of the skin or local swelling which goes away in a few days. In rare instances
there may be some blistering.
- How many treatments are required?
Blemishes often clear after one or two treatments, depending on the severity and
density of the vessels. Each session lasts about 15-20 minutes.
- Will insurance cover my treatment?
Insurance coverage varies according to carrier and the nature of the medical
problem. Your doctor and insurance company can answer this question. Treatments of a
cosmetic nature are often not covered.
- Are there any restrictions on my activity after treatment?
You can return to work the same day and resume all regular activities. You should limit
exposure to the sun, which is always a good idea.
- Is VascuLight™ better than other treatment methods?
VascuLight™ uses innovative patented technology that allows your doctor to
customize the treatment specifically for your skin type and blemish. This flexible
interactive approach to treatment cannot be achieved with any non-invasive method
currently available.
