venous lake removal
25Feb

There’s no need to go through life with an unsightly venous lake papule, because we remove a venous lake effectively with the Vbeam laser. In the example pictured, Lasermed’s Alta van der Merwe successfully removed the macule in two treatments, a month apart.

Usually, a venous lake is quite common in middle-aged or older men and women of any race. This bluish squashable macule most often appears on the lips, earlobes, or elsewhere on the face, neck, or upper trunk. Unfortunately, the cause is a mystery.

Removal

Although it’s harmless, it is unsightly. Thus many people opt to remove it. By destroying the lesion with the V-beam laser, a temporary scab forms. But this soon disappears, giving way to a better appearance.

Other removal options include: cryotherapy, electrocautery, sclerotherapy and Intense pulsed light.

Removing venus lake with the Vbeam laser

Vbeam is a special type of pulsing, yellow light laser used to treat red lesions or discolouration. We often use this pulsed-dye laser on the face and bodily extremities. Lighter-skinned patients with vascular blemishes such as red blotches, spider veins, rosacea or red birthmarks are ideal candidates for Vbeam treatments.

Its proven effectiveness and lack of risk and side effects make it a preferred treatment method for many patients and physicians. However, as with any treatment, it’s essential to understand how it works and its effects before beginning your sessions.

The Vbeam delivers a powerful yet gentle energy burst to precise locations on the skin through several separate micro-pulses of yellow light.

Because the device prevents heat from spreading to other areas, the damaged blood vessels are eliminated altogether while surrounding cells remain unscathed.

Zone cosmeceutical products are all about medical science for a youthful skin. These products aren’t designed as comfort creams, but as active treatments against ageing.

Formulated by dermatologists

Formulated and tested by a panel of dermatologists, Zone targets the Mitochondria in the dermal layer of the skin. This Mitochondria is involved in producing ATP cell energy.

Basically, when applying Co-enzyme Q10 at the correct concentrations, it penetrates into the Mitochondria. This is the ‘spark plug’ effect. Thus it boosts the energy, enabling better quality skin cells to reach the surface at a faster rate. Best of all, it slows down the overall ageing process of the skin significantly.

The importance of Co-Q10

The range combines Co-Q10 with the other network anti-oxidants, namely Vitamin C, A, B and E.

Studies have shown that Co- Enzyme Q10 and anti-oxidants help to repair and rejuvenate the skin. However, they’ll only show a significant improvement when used at certain concentrations.

Zone products use medical science to incorporate all these findings into a treatment that gives the latest in skincare and repair for youthful skin. Which is probably why many dermatologists recommend Zone for both men and women from the age of 20-plus years old.

Africa-friendly

The range includes a cleansing gel, day cream, night cream and an eye gel.

All in all, Zone is medical science for a youthful skin personified. It’s a top-notch, targeted South African range for African conditions at South African prices.

In a few treatment steps, you can get the glow with our super Hydration Booster. Your skin will literally sparkle and shimmer.

It works like this: after a thorough cleanse, we follow up with the glycolic scrub/MDA flash. Next is a superficial Dermapen needling treatment, infused with hyaluronic serum. And to seal in the goodness, a 10-minute session under the LED light will result in your new glowing look.

Why hydration?

To protect the skin against external aggressors such as pollutants, micro-organisms, and UV rays, good hydration is key.

Lipid production declines with age. Therefore, to support lipid function, add moisturisers containing humectants such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin to your skincare regime. This will lock in water molecules and boost lipid function.

All skin types can benefit from an HA serum. It draws water to the skin using humectants, making it possible for the skin to absorb the water.

Importantly, hyaluronic acid has anti-wrinkle properties because of its ability to retain fair amounts of water. It also happens to strengthen the skin’s natural barriers, thus sealing in moisture.

After extended use, hyaluronic acid gives the skin a plumper, more toned appearance.

H2O

Water, water, water. Consumption of this is very important to boost skin hydration levels. It increases lipid health, as well as overall wellbeing.

And then there’s the matter of diet. Add good fats to your diet, plus loads of fruit, veg, nuts and bran and your skin health is bound to improve by leaps and bounds.

Fast fixes for dehydrated skin

Yes, you can get the glow with our super Hydration Booster, but Lasermed also offers several other rejuvenating treatments. IPL, microneedling, Frax 1550, chemical peels and microdermabrasion all give the skin a magnificent boost.
