Treatment of Facial Vessels

Optimized Light for Treatment of Vascular Lesions of the Face

Vascular lesions of the face are a common problem for photodamaged skin. Examples of these vascular lesions include:

  • Telangiectasia
  • Rosace
  • Angiomas
  • Hemangiomas
  • Reticular Veins
  • Port Wine Stains

One of the challenges of treating vascular lesions is the inherent variety in the size and depth of the blood vessels. Successfully treating vascular lesions require destruction of these blood vessels while dealing with these challenges.
The MaxG™ Optimized Light™ handpiece from Palomar offers an excellent solution with customized features such as Dynamic Spectrum ShiftingSM , dual-band filters and Smooth PulseSM technology - which provide more uniform heating across the entire diameter of larger vessels and increased client comfort. And now the 4mm Small Spot Adaptor accessory is available for treating small vessels on darker skin types.
The MaxG Optimized Light handpiece offers superior vessel and pigment clearance that rivals single-wavelength lasers in performance.

The proof is in the results.

The Palomar Solution

Benefits of MaxG:
Comparing a pulsed dye laser vs. MaxG Optimized Light:

Modeling of blood vessel coagulation with single pulses of pulsed dye laser (left) and MaxG (right) based on ex vivo data. Coagulation is indicated by red or brown shading.

The MaxG is superior to a pulsed dye laser in its ability to coagulate deeper vessels, offering better clearance of deep facial vessels than ever before.*

The MaxG handpiece offers superior closure of the larger, deeper facial vessels with Dynamic Spectrum Shifting - which increases the concentration of near-infrared light with longer pulsewidths to provide more uniform heating across the entire diameter of larger vessels.

In comparison to non-optimized pulsed light, the MaxG handpiece offers:

  • Ideal wavelengths for efficient hemoglobin absorption
  • Greater peak power to address challenging small vessels
  • Higher fluences to address mid-to-large-sized resistant vessels
  • Dual filters to minimize unnecessary epidermal exposure and enhance patient comfort

AccuSpectrumSM: Dual bands of wavelengths selectively target the absorption peaks at hemoglobin and preferentially heat blood in the presense of melanin.

Smooth Pulse: Proprietary light delivery system that allows for the usage of greater amounts of light energy while minimizing rise in skin temperature.
