NOTE: Some conditions will require medical clearance and a letter from your doctor.
Thermocoagulation
Thermocoagulation is an advanced cosmetic procedure for treating vascular skin imperfections like spider veins, broken capillaries, and cherry angiomas. Using a fine probe and controlled heat, this treatment safely coagulates the blood vessels, causing them to disappear without damaging the surrounding skin. With minimal discomfort and downtime, thermocoagulation provides a quick and effective solution for achieving clearer, blemish-free skin.
Cherry Angiomas
Thermocoagulation offers an effective solution for treating cherry angiomas, those bright red moles that can appear anywhere on the body. This treatment targets and coagulates the blood vessels within the angioma using high-frequency current, leading to its reduction or complete disappearance. This non-invasive approach ensures minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to remove these common vascular lesions.
Skin tags (Body and Eyelids near the eyes)
Thermocoagulation is a quick and safe method to remove flesh-colored growths in areas where skin folds occur. This technique applies focused heat to the base of the skin tag, effectively cutting off its blood supply without damaging the surrounding skin. Patients can achieve a smoother skin texture without surgical interventions, enjoying quick results with minimal recovery time.
Spider Veins
Thermocoagulation provides a non-surgical alternative to traditional vein removal methods for those struggling with spider veins. The treatment precisely targets the unwanted veins, applying heat to collapse and seal them, causing them to fade from view. Suitable for spider veins on the face and legs, this method can restore a more uniform skin appearance with minimal discomfort or downtime.
Milia
Milia, small white cysts that appear on the face, can be stubborn to remove with conventional skincare routines. Thermocoagulation offers a straightforward solution by applying a controlled amount of heat to break down the keratin buildup within the cysts, allowing them to disappear quickly. This quick and efficient treatment leaves the skin clear and smooth without incisions or extractions.
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) is characterized by small, dark spots typically found on the face and neck of individuals with darker skin tones. Thermocoagulation can safely and effectively reduce the appearance of DPN by targeting and removing these lesions with precision heat. This treatment provides individuals a non-invasive option to achieve a more even skin tone, enhancing their natural beauty without significant downtime or discomfort.
Sunspots
Thermocoagulation is an effective solution for reducing sunspots, also known as solar lentigines, which are dark, flat spots that commonly appear on sun-exposed skin. By applying high-frequency current, Thermocoagulation targets and coagulates the pigment within the sunspots, leading to their gradual fading or complete disappearance. This non-invasive treatment ensures minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it ideal for achieving a clearer, more even skin tone.
