Telangitron™
The
Telangitron™offers a unique and preferable treatment
procedure to eliminate skin lesions commonly called "broken
capillaries" and "spider veins" of the face, neck and chest.
The medical name for these unsightly blood vessels is
telangiectasia. Telangiectasias are small, permanently
enlarged capillaries, venules, small arterioles or small
veins that lie in the upper dermis and are usually dull to
bright red. Normally they are linear, but they may also be
dot-like markings.
How does it work?
All treatments to remove
telangiectasias attempt to block the flow of blood in the
vessel. Blockage of the capillary is achieved by coagulating
a small segment of the vessel. The blood is "clotted" at the
treatment point. The clot blocks the flow of blood. Think of
the coagulation treatment as constructing a barrier against
the flow of blood in the vessel, much like a dam holds back
a river. A river downstream of a dam dries up, as does the
blood vessel.
How soon can I expect results?
We start each patient with a
preliminary treatment usually lasting between 15-20 minutes.
Two weeks is generally needed to observe your healing
ability. After a two week period, the skin should appear
normal and some of the lesions should be gone. With each
treatment you should notice an improvement in the number of
“broken capillaries”. You will be instructed on how to care
for your skin and when to return for your next treatment
after each treatment session.
