The KTP laser also treats vascular lesions, however, is especially suited for treating individual broken blood vessels as well as spider veins and cherry angiomas. At the Laser + Skin Institute, the response from many of our KTP patients is: “It’s a miracle!” When they look in the mirror and see the immediate and dramatic results.
How does it work?
A pencil-like wand is used to literally erase dilated capillaries on the face. The effect is immediate and there is virtually no downtime. You may experience mild redness and swelling, but may return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Moisturizer with sunscreen is recommended for a week after treatment. For larger lesions like cherry angiomas, the lesion may turn purplish in color after the procedure, and then disappear in 1-2 weeks. No anesthesia is required and the treatment feels like a series of hot needle-like sensations.
This laser may not be as suitable for darker skin types. During your cosmetic consultation, Dr. Lisa Coppa Breslauer will determine if the KTP laser is right for you.
