The vascular lesion category encompasses a wide range of indications, including rosacea, facial and spider veins, varicose veins, and more.
Candela GentleMax Pro can target and eliminate veins and vascular lesions resulting in more youthful, bright and radiant skin. Candela GentleMax Pro is safe for men and women and can be used on the face and legs to rid you of unwanted veins.
How does it work?
Whether it’s a spider vein on your nose or a varicose vein on your leg, Candela GentleMax Pro uses laser technology to deliver targeted laser energy into the vein/vascular lesion permanently destroying it. The GentleMax Pro is non-invasive and completely safe for surrounding skin and tissue because it incorporates a unique cooling technology designed to protect the outer skin from overheating, or laser burn.
FUNGAL NAIL
Nail fungus (onychomycosis) causes your nails to turn colors, thicken, and become brittle. Nail fungus can show up on your hands as well as your feet, and it isn’t pretty. Infections start at the tip of the nail and work their way under the nail bed, causing white, yellow, or brown streaks, and thickening the nail. The nail ends up being a shield that allows the fungus to grow.
Podiatrists and dermatologists often prescribe oral drugs like Lamisil, but they usually need to be taken for months to work, and there is a risk of side effects. Many people are reluctant to take these drugs because in very rare cases they may cause liver damage. Over-the-counter antifungal creams and ointments are not usually too effective, and repeat infections are commonplace. When all else fails, having the nail removed and the nail matrix medically destroyed to prevent the nail from growing back is a last resort.
The newest way to stay fungus-free is with lasers. Heat is able to target infectious agents, which makes laser therapy extremely exciting. The universal appeal of lasers is that they can selectively destroy nasty fungi, while sparing healthy surrounding tissue and cure the condition.
Lasers have greatly improved options for treating infected nails safely, effectively, and without a lengthy plan. With three pain-free treatments that take about two minutes per nail, we can restore healthy nails, and patients can resume their normal activities the same day. The best part is that you can continue to polish your toenails throughout the course of the treatment.
