Laser Rejuvenation

Diolite 532 is an effective tool in the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions. A vascular lesion is formed by abnormally large or numerous blood vessels located directly under the surface of the skin. These vessels may be visible through the skin or result in a red appearance of the skin. A pigmented lesion occurs when an abundance of melanocytes (dark pigmentation) are found in the skin. When dark pigment multiplies, it forms freckles, brown age spots, and moles.

Diolite 532 treats the following conditions:

• Facial Telangiectasia: spider veins caused by a dilation of capillary vessels or arterioles
• Cherry Angiomas: slightly raised, red lesions
• Spider Angiomas: slightly raised, red spider-like lesions
• Rosacea: red facial lesions around the nose and cheeks causing a sunburn look
• Lentigines: flat, brown spots on the skin that are present with frequent sun exposure
• Keratoses: slightly elevated pigmented spots often found on the back and hands
• Freckles: brownish spots on the skin, common on people with fair skin
• Dermatosis Papulosis Nigra: small, black marks seen primarily on people of Asian or African descent

 

Diolite 532 generates an intense beam of light that directs energy to a specific site through a small handpiece. The laser light is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (bright red blood cells carrying oxygen) and melanin/pigment (black or brown pigment found in the skin) causing decomposition or destruction by heat of unwanted cells, while leaving healthy cells intact.

The treatment offers minimal to no discoloration, swelling, or complications, and is typically performed without anesthesia or pain. Some patients report feeling a slight stinging sensation during the treatment, followed by some redness which usually goes away in two to four hours. Some swelling may also be experienced and may last one to two days. Unlike old technologies, DioLite 532 treatment will not cause any purple skin discoloration or bruised appearance to the treated skin.

Final treatment results should be evident within 10-14 days after treatment for vascular lesions, and within two to three weeks after treatment for pigmented lesion. In the meantime, normal daily activities can be resumed with only a slight redness evident at the treatment area.
