3-plus reasons to choose advanced laser treatments for visible vein removal in Mississauga, ON

At DermCare, we don’t take the trust you’ve put in our treatments lightly. Board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist, Dr. Faisal Al-Mohammedi, and board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Aiza Ejaz, have invested in extensive training and sophisticated technologies to treat a wide range of skin conditions safely, comfortably, and optimally. So, laser vein treatments in Mississauga, ON are a great fit with the other advanced procedures available at the DermCare office, and a great alternative to more invasive techniques, such as sclerotherapy.

The problem: Spider veins

Veins are present throughout the body, including small veins near the surface of the skin. Typically, healthy veins cannot be seen through the skin; however, vascular conditions or injuries can cause the valves within the veins to malfunction. As this arises, blood flow within the vein pools and the pressure stretches vascular walls, causing the vein to enlarge and darken in colour. In turn, affected veins may appear through the skin as thin, feather-like lines that branch out in a jagged manner. Also known as telangiectasias, these broken small blood vessels (or capillaries) may be pink, red, blue, or purple. While varicose veins develop similarly to spider veins, they are often larger, tangled, bulging, and associated with aching and cramping.

Visible blood vessels do not have to be secondary to medical conditions, nor do they have to present with other symptoms to be worrisome. Drs Al-Mohammedi and Ejaz are happy to restore the healthy appearance of your skin and, in doing so, renew your self-confidence.

The answer: Next-generation Cynergy vascular laser by Cynosure

DermCare uses the latest in laser technology to selectively target and eliminate the blood vessels responsible for visible veins. Since the laser so precisely treats the veins, surrounding tissues are untouched. So, it’s a safe, conservative, and low-risk procedure. Additionally, the Cynergy system is:

• Well-tolerated – Patients describe some fleeting tingling or a sensation like a rubber band snapping against the skin during treatment. Best yet – unlike sclerotherapy, there are no needles and injections!
• Quick – Depending on the size of the area to be treated, laser therapy for veins can be completed in five to 30 minutes.
• Effective – Often, the appearance of telangiectasias can be improved in a single visit. A series of visits may be required to fully clear the affected vessels. Enjoy continued improvement for up to around a week post-treatment. And, once the treated vein is gone, it is gone for good, with no untoward health consequences.

Cynergy’s many special features allow for the most convenient, comfortable, and optimal treatment possible. Unlike traditional single-wavelength platforms, the Cynergy system boasts dual wavelengths. Along with Cynosure’s proprietary MultiPlex technology, the pulsed dye, and Nd: YAG wavelengths may be emitted one after another for optimal treatment. The pulsed dye facilitates the effective absorption of Nd: YAG energy, as well as enhanced patient safety and comfort.

Experience more effective improvements in the appearance of spider veins and broken capillaries in less time, and with fewer risks, than earlier-generation laser systems that rely on single wavelengths.
