Avatar f tn Is it a good idea to get laser vein removal done to my upper eyelids to remove dilated blood vessels?
Avatar n tn Hello, There are 5 types of laser hair removal systems. These include pulsed light, Nd YAG laser, diode laser. Alexanderite laser and ruby laser. This depends on the skin type and varies from patient to patient. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist for the skin type and then depending on that, laser hair removal can be decided.
Avatar n tn Hi, Needless to remind you that you need to talk to your doctor, a cardiologist.If the varicose vein is in the legs, I understand that laser treatment is possible. Please google for ' laser treatment for varicose veins ' for more details.

Avatar m tn During your TIPS, a needle is first placed into your right jugular vein-—a large vein in your neck—-and threaded down through your superior and inferior vena cava to the hepatic vein. A catheter is then threaded over the needle and pushed through the hepatic vein and liver into the portal vein. A small balloon (associated with the catheter) is then inflated to enlarge the pathway between the hepatic and portal veins. A mesh stent is inserted between the two veins.
Avatar n tn You should discuss with your doctor about other treatment options such as removal by freezing (cryotherapy), burning (electrocautery), laser treatment, podofilox solution / gel, or imiquimid cream, immunotherapy or some vaccine treatment. Several treatment sessions are usually required. The pulse dye laser is a technique for removal, with little incidence of complications like scarring.

Avatar n tn A patient with spider veins in the face will usually choose to have laser therapy rather than sclerotherapy. Laser treatment may cause minor bruising that usually improves within a week. Two to four treatments may be required to achieve your desired result. Laser energy causes your spider veins to coagulate and shrink. It is most effective for small and medium size spider veins. Large spider veins respond poorly and are best treated with sclerotherapy.

Avatar n tn Does body laser hair removal effect the baby if pregnant ? Is it okay to have laser done while pregnant ?
Avatar m tn You could also try laser hair removal. It's expensive and a bit painful, but it would significantly reduce the amount of hair permanently. It works best for people with darker hair and lighter skin since the laser looks for the color contrast. If you do laser hair removal, you'll probably use a lidocaine cream 30 minutes before the treatment. It basically feels like a rubber band snapping on your skin. Laser hair removal requires several treatments to work.
Avatar f tn Hi, I had a mole on my face and I did a mole excursion, a small brown spot grew back, and I did a mole laser removal surgery to get it remove. However after the laser removal surgery, my mole is not disorted and grown, it doesn't seem to be a tissue scar cause it is dark brown and a raiser lump has occurred. Is this an indication of something? Can I get mole removal again using laser or excision or it would keep coming back? Thanks!
