Q&A
The laser solution for the full range of vascular conditions
Many skin conditions are the result of abnormal blood vessels. These include conditions such as port-wine birthmarks, angiomas, hemangiomas, spider veins on the face and legs, inflammatory acne, psoriasis, and warts. Some conditions, such as fine wrinkles and uneven pigmentation, result from extensive sun damage. All of these conditions can be treated with the Cynosure vascular laser.

How does a laser help?
Using a beam of light, Cynosure lasers treat a broad range of vascular conditions by "selectively" treating the areas of concern. The laser light selectively targets and coagulates problem blood vessels while leaving the surrounding skin unchanged.
How many treatments are required?
Results are seen within three to four weeks. Typically, one to two treatments are recommended. For conditions such as birthmarks or hemangiomas, several treatments will be required.
Is the treatment painful?
There is some minor discomfort associated with laser treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of rubber band snaps to the skin. We can often reduce or eliminate this by cooling the treated area with an air-cooling device.
What is facial rejuvenation treatment?
Facial rejuventation is the visible improvement of sun-damaged skin by removing enlarged blood vessels and irregular pigmentation and by stimulating the underlying collagen.
Can the laser treat infants with port-wine birthmarks?
Yes. The Cynosure laser can be used to safely treat all sizes of Port-Wine Birthmarks in infants and adults.
Can the laser treat facial and leg veins, rosacea and acne?
The laser can selectively target red vessels and blotches on the face and legs.
How does the laser treat warts and psoriasis?
By destroying the underlying blood vessels that support these growths.
