subject: How Diode Laser Works In Thread-vein Removal [print this page] Thread veins are the damaged blood veins showing below the skin and can be removed by diode laser. Depending on how deep the damaged veins and capillaries are, this condition may show on the skin surfaces either clearly or vaguely. When they show clearly show on the surface of the skin, it means the veins are just but on the surface of the skin. Many persons find themselves with thread veins on various body parts and do not understand how this condition came about. Due to the unpleasant appearance they make on the skin, some persons may not tolerate them and therefore undergo laser thread-vein removal treatment.
We cannot talk of treatment of this condition without giving a snick pick of the causes of this skin condition. The causes of this skin condition are not known but can be traced to alcohol taking, inheritance of genes causing hormonal production imbalances and temperature changes. Others may include standing for a long time causing reduced speed in blood flow in the veins and capillaries. Veins on the upper skin surface of the skin will show blood pressure rise leading to breakage and subsequent destruction of such capillaries. The blood around the damaged veins will clot making the surrounding skin harden while it is left showing on the skin surface.
All said we now try to understand how diode laser can remove thread-veins. Depending on the reactivity of your skin, this procedure is not used alone. The dermatologist can also combine the IPL technology with lasers to treat the affected and targeted areas. The laser technology uses an optical device that produces an intense monochromatic beam of coherent light. The beam of light is directed towards the affected and targeted area. Since the light is of a particular wavelength, it produces energy that destroys the walls of the affected veins and absorbed into the body system. This means the veins will disappear after all the wall have been destroyed and completely absorbed into the body. Usually, this procedure takes a short duration of about a half an hour depending on the severity of the situation.
The patient undergoing this procedure normally does not require to be put under pain medication. This means that the procedure does not usually lead to complications or pains with exception of reddening of the skin under treatment. The patient may also experience mild swelling that can last for short time. The swelling may occur due to skin response to contact with the lasers during the treatment process. Depending on the density of the affected veins, the patient may require several treatments to ensure that the results of the treatment last longer. The patient may also realize that repeating treatment using diode laser for thread vein removal is necessary long after the first treatment if lasting results are anticipated.
