BVLASER: Targeted Solutions for Telangiectasia

Facial skin presents with flushing and visible telangiectasia, which is mostly distributed in linear, dendritic, spider-like, stellate, and punctate patterns. Extensive facial telangiectasia is often accompanied by diffuse and persistent facial flushing and burning sensations, and typically manifests sensitivity to cold, heat, and sunlight.

Telangiectasia can be categorized into primary and secondary types. The etiology of primary telangiectasia remains unclear, while secondary telangiectasia is associated with factors such as altitude, long-term physical or chemical stimulation, and local or systemic diseases.

Causes of Telangiectasia

1. Primary
Primary telangiectasia is observed in conditions including vascular nevi, hemangiomas, angiokeratomas, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, and spider telangiectasia.

2. Secondary
(1) Plateau climate: In plateau regions like Tibet and Qinghai, thin air leads to skin hypoxia, which causes an increase in red blood cell count and compensatory vasodilation of capillaries.
(2) Physical stimulation: Prolonged outdoor work exposes the skin to wind, ultraviolet radiation, high temperature, and cold. These stimuli exceed the normal tolerance threshold of capillaries, triggering capillary dilation and rupture, and resulting in facial redness or purplish discoloration.
(3) Chemical stimulation: Allergic reactions of the skin may occur during cosmetic procedures or the use of inappropriate freckle-removing creams, thereby causing facial flushing.
(4) Hormone-dependent telangiectasia: Long-term use of ointments or cosmetics containing glucocorticoids can induce local cutaneous telangiectasia. It can also occur secondary to other systemic diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, lupus erythematosus, rosacea, hyperthyroidism, and carcinoid syndrome.

Targeted Solutions for Telangiectasia

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), long-pulsed lasers, and CO₂ lasers are effective treatment options. With millisecond-level pulse width and coverage of hemoglobin absorption peak bands, IPL can effectively coagulate and close capillaries without causing any damage to the skin. It also boasts a broad spectrum of applications: while treating vascular skin conditions, it can simultaneously address epidermal spots, reduce unwanted hair, alleviate mild to moderate inflammatory acne, brighten skin tone, and accelerate skin metabolism.

In addition, BVLASER has developed a diverse range of laser devices to tackle various skin issues, providing more treatment solutions for the repair of vascular skin disorders and skin rejuvenation.

Treatment Principles

1.Targeted absorption: Hemoglobin in capillaries (especially oxyhemoglobin) has a strong capacity to absorb light of specific wavelengths. For instance, oxyhemoglobin exhibits high absorption near the 500nm–600nm wavelength range, while deoxyhemoglobin has an absorption peak at 780nm–1200nm. The specific wavelength laser beams emitted by optical devices (such as lasers and intense pulsed light) can be precisely absorbed by hemoglobin.

2.Conversion of light energy to thermal energy: After absorbing light energy, hemoglobin rapidly converts it into thermal energy. This thermal energy accumulates locally within the blood vessels, causing a rapid rise in intravascular temperature.

3.Vascular coagulation and closure: Thermal energy induces intravascular blood coagulation; the vascular walls become damaged and denatured due to high temperature, and gradually close. Over time, the human immune system recognizes these damaged vascular tissues as foreign bodies, and metabolizes and clears them via phagocytes, leading to the gradual disappearance of dilated capillaries.

Treatment Advantages

1.BVLASER’s IPL integrates multiple advanced technologies including OPT, DPL, and BBL. Based on the severity of pigmentation and different skin types, safe and effective treatment modes and protocols can be selected. The preset treatment parameters cover a wide array of clinical indications, ensuring simplified operation and a shorter learning curve, while enhancing patient comfort and delivering desired clinical outcomes.

2.The synergistic combination of IPL and lasers can accelerate skin metabolism while closing capillaries, featuring minimal skin damage, rapid recovery, and more pronounced therapeutic effects.

3.Minimal impact on surrounding tissues: Owing to the characteristics of selective photothermolysis, the light energy of optical devices is primarily absorbed by hemoglobin in blood vessels, resulting in minimal thermal damage to adjacent normal skin tissues. Therefore, it can effectively treat telangiectasia while minimizing adverse effects on the skin.
