Cynosure V-Star Pulse Dye Laser

admin — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 19:08:38 +0000

The Cynosure V-Star is one of the most advanced pulse dye lasers available. The V-star utilizes a 595 nm wavelength which is variable pulsed from .5ms to 40ms. It is specifically designed and FDA approved to treat vascular conditions such as rosacea, hemangiomas, spider veins and port wine stains.

This wavelength has superior absorption characteristics by hemoglobin in the blood, thus reducing the redness associated with these vascular conditions and skin malformations.

The VersaPulse® PowerSuite™ Holmium Laser

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:07:02 +0000

The VersaPulse® PowerSuite™ holmium laser combines excellent cutting, ablation and coagulation properties for precise, virtually bloodless procedures. It is also extremely effective in fragmenting urinary and gall bladder stones of all compositions, making it an ideal multipurpose surgical tool. Because its laser light is transmitted through flexible fibers, it is especially suited for minimally invasive endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures.

The VersaPulse PowerSuite system comes in a variety of low- to high-power holmium models plus a combination holmium and neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) configuration. Lumenis™ is the pioneer in laser and light-based technology. Since introducing the first medical laser in 1970, over 60,000 systems have been used by nearly every medical specialty. Since introducing the first holmium laser in 1991, Lumenis has helped to expand the medical applications of this relatively new multipurpose laser.

Today, holmium technology has been proven in thousands of procedures, securing the holmium laser its place as a well-respected minimally invasive treatment modality and the VersaPulse PowerSuite as the system of choice. VersaPulse PowerSuite lasers are used for ablation, excision, incision, vaporization and immediate hemostasis of soft tissues through endoscopic, laparoscopic and open access for a wide variety of surgical applications and procedures.

How does a VersaPulse® laser work?

The word LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. VersaPulse® lasers use an intense beam of light to gently remove unwanted, damaged, or diseased cells without harming the surrounding healthy cells. The VersaPulse® laser’s energy is delivered in short adjustable pulses, which minimizes bruising.

What is a vascular lesion?

Skin blemishes due to abnormal blood vessels located directly under your skin’s surface that give the skin a red color are called vascular lesions. Port wine stains, strawberry hemangiomas and spider veins (telangiectasias) are all forms of vascular lesions.

What is a pigmented lesion?

Pigmented lesions are caused by a proliferation of melanocytes in the skin. Melanocytes are the cells that manufacture melanin, which is the dark pigment in skin. Most of us have some form of pigmented lesion. They include brown age spots (lentigines), freckles (ephileds), and moles (nevi). Lesions without color are called non-pigmented lesions. They include warts and skin tags.

How many treatments are required?

This depends on the size, location, depth and color of your lesion. Spider veins on the face and age spots generally do well with one or two treatments, while darker or deeper birthmarks may require additional treatments. Port wine stains and hemangiomas usually experience satisfactory results from laser treatments, however as many as six to eight treatment sessions may be required. Treatments should be placed 4 to 8 weeks apart to allow your body to remove the maximum amount of pigment cells. You will continue to see a lightening of your lesion after each treatment as your body disposes of the pigment cells.

Are VersaPulse® laser treatments safe?

VersaPulse® lasers have been used successfully in hundreds of thousands of treatments. VersaPulse laser treatments performed properly, by a trained physician, are safe and effective. There are many benefits to VersaPulse laser surgery: little if any pain, no needles for most patients, less bruising and swelling, and, once removed, lesions do not return.
Do VersaPulse® laser treatments hurt?

No. The VersaPulse® uses a special “chilled tip” to cool the skin during treatment. Some patients say they feel a slight sting, like the snap of a rubber band on the skin, followed by the feeling of sunburn. Many treatments do not require anesthetics. However, some patients feel more comfortable with a local numbing agent like ice. For some patients a local anesthesia may be beneficial. Most treatments do not require incisions or injections.
What results can you expect?

Most patients will see improvement in their vascular and pigmented lesions. This improvement can be quite dramatic. However, as with any surgical procedure, there is always a possibility that only minor changes will occur and in rare cases there is no response.
What other skin conditions can lasers treat?

Other skin conditions treated with lasers include: aging and sun-damaged skin, tattoos, moles, warts, skin tags, stretch marks, acne and hypertrophic scars.
