Now the revolutionary new laser treatment with a Lyra laser system can quickly and safely eliminate these vessels leaving your skin looking smooth and your legs beautiful again. No other treatment can give you such effective results as the Lyra. The redness and bruising associated with traditional treatments or other lasers are minimized or completely eliminated. And best of all, Lyra provides the most risk-free treatment for dark or tanned skin than any other existing modalities.
The Lyra laser produces a 1064nm wavelength. While the rest of the skin is almost completely transparent for this wavelength, it is highly absorbed in blood. Thus, the laser beam passes through the skin and penetrates the targeted vessel. The laser energy heats up the coagulated blood inside the vessel. Unsupported, vessel walls collapse and seal. These vessels later dissolve within the body.
The laser energy is delivered through a hand-held device with a cooling tip. The cooling tip provides additional safety and comfort during the treatment by lowering the thermal effect on your skin surface.
You will experience a stinging burning sensation during the treatment, which resolves immediately after the treatment is over. In some cases, you may prefer to use anesthetic cream, which may completely eliminate any discomfort.
The appearance of the treated vessels will dramatically change turning from blue and purple into light red. Some of the vessels may bulge, however, any inflammation will disappear within a couple of hours. The redness of the treated vessels will gradually disappear as the healing process occurs, which may take anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks depending on the severity of the veins.
The post-operative treatment regime may include wearing support hose, avoiding medication containing aspirin and wearing sunscreen. Make sure to discuss these options with your laser practitioner prior to the treatment.
