Vasculyse 2G RF Thermocoagulation
The Vasculyse 2G offers a non-invasive, safe, quick, and effective treatment for the removal of skin irregularities such as Milia (Whiteheads), Skin Tags
(Acrochordon), Telangiectasia (Spider Angioma, Spider Veins, Cherry Angiomas/RubyPoints) and Benign Moles.
Vasculyse 2G technology uses the principle of Thermocoagulation that introduces a mild current to induce coagulation while removing unwanted skin irregularities. The low current passes through a disposable and sterile stylus tip that is applied directly to the target area, not piercing the skin.
This Health Canada approved procedure does not leave any scars or marks on the sur-face of the skin, is suitable for all skin types, all ethnicities and for both females and males. Final results are usually achieved within 3 to 21 days
SKIN TAGS
Spider Angioma
Broken capillaries ( Telangiectasia / Spider veins)
Cherry Angiomas
All of the skin irregularities listed are not harmful but they can be aggravated by clothing rubbing on them and many people like them removed for the cosmetic value.
Vasculyse 2G is safe, effective and non-invasive. It is a relatively painless procedure that is usually described as a tingly feeling. Most irregularities can be resolved within one and three sessions.
