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

Skin tags are small, benign (noncancerous) flesh-colored skin growths. They often look like a cluster of skin tissue extending out from a tiny stem and can occur anywhere on the body. They most often occur in areas where there is skin folding, such as the neck and armpits.

Spider Angioma

Telangiectasias are small blood vessels that sit near the skin’s surface and widen and create visible patterns of lines. People often refer to them as spider veins. Telangiectasias may occur anywhere on the body or face

Broken capillaries ( Telangiectasia / Spider veins)

Telangiectases are common in areas that are easily seen (such as the lips, nose, eyes, fingers, and cheeks). They can cause discomfort, and some people find them unattractive. Many people choose to have them removed. Removal is done by causing damage to the vessel and forcing it to collapse or scar. This reduces the appearance of the red marks or patterns on the skin.

Cherry Angiomas

Cherry Angiomas / Ruby Points are small clusters of capillaries at the surface of the skin that form a small round dome, orpapule, which is often flat topped. The color typically ranges from bright red to purple. When they first begin to appear, they are almost flat and appear as small red dots. These dots can grow over time up to a centimeter or more in some cases. Larger cherry angiomas may be thick and raised and can grow on all parts of the body.

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.

Milia

Milia are small white bumps that appear on the skin. They’re usually grouped together on the nose, cheeks, and chin, though they may appear elsewhere. They develop when skin flakes become trapped under the surface of the skin.
