The Altus CoolGlide laser
treatment is a safe, fast, gentle and effective method for removal
of unwanted blood vessels.
In just a few treatment sessions (in some cases only a single treatment
session), using the gentle power of lasers, you can greatly improve
the appearance of skin disfigured by unwanted blood vessels
and "broken capillaries".
The Altus CoolGlide laser
generates a pulse of intense, concentrated light which is directed
through a small, cooled hand piece and is gently applied to the
treatment site.
This laser energy passes through the skin to the blood vessels
being eliminated. The energy is absorbed by pigment
in the blood, causing selective damage to the lining of the target
blood vessel without damaging the surrounding tissues and skin.
The duration of the pulses is carefully determined
so that laser energy will be absorbed by the blood vessels without
transferring excessive heat to the surrounding skin.
