Spider Veins
Spider veins are small damaged veins that appear on the surface of the skin typically found on the legs and face. They may appear blue, red or purple. Caused by poor circulation or genetics often painless but may cause discomfort. IPL works on these veins by damaging the walls of the blood vessels once the controlled heat is applied. Excessive heat and light then shatters and disturbs the clotted blood which allows for the blood to flow absorbed into the body White blood cells the collect and it is excreted through the lymphatic system. This the improves the skin and its appearance and eventually disappear. *
When it comes to get the absolute best results from IPL therapy, we recommend that our patients do 5 treatments, performed 4 weeks apart. Patients often ask “Are the results from IPL permanent?” and the answer is “Yes and no.” We are constantly aging, and even despite our best attempts at sun protection, most of us still get incidental sun exposure throughout the year.
Why 5 treatments?
Because each treatment builds upon the next one and allows me to treat your skin gradually to see how you will react. With the IPL machine we can toggle the settings to reach pigmentation and blood vessels at different depths of skin, so that with each treatment we are able to target a specific area.
“To love yourself as you are is a miracle, and to seek yourself is to have found yourself, for now. And now is all we have, and love is who we are.”
FAQ
Cavitation is the use of low-frequency ultrasounds to penetrate the skin and cause fat cells to breakdown. The fat cells cannot withstand the pressure of these vibrations, causing the cells to implode into a liquid form and pass through the body.
Your body absorbs the fact and it passes through the liver and comes out as waste. The fat cells are broken down but the cells have the capacity to grow again with a high calorie diet. Thus, it is recommended to pair the treatment with one of Executive Medical’s weight loss programs.
Cavitation is best used on areas of localized fat. This includes areas such as the upper arm, thighs, abdomen, hips, and buttocks. It cannot be applied to bony areas such as the head or neck.
Ultrasonic Cavitation is not a method of weight loss. It is designed to reshape the body and remove localized fat or cellulite. It is not a replacement for weight loss programs or regular exercise.
