532nm laser treatment of facial telangiectasia
BACKGROUND:
Facial telangiectasias are a frequently observed cosmetic concern: Current therapeutic modalities have certain side effects and limitations.
OBJECTIVE:
This study evaluated the clinical response and side effects during the treatment of facial telangiectasias in 40 patients.
METHODS:
Forty patients with facial telangiectasias were treated with the laser. Fluences of between 9.5 and 12.0 J/cm2 at 3 or 4-mm spot size were used.
RESULTS:
Ninety percent of patients experienced between 75% and 100% clearance of their facial telangiectasias after single treatment. No significant side effects or complications were noted.

Laser Therapy for Pain
Laser Therapy treatment is a non-invasive therapy that makes use of intense beams of light of specific wavelengths to help reduce pain related to your injury. LASER stands for ‘Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
When the lights of specific wavelengths are targeted to a particular area of body, physiological changes take place in the cells. This process is known as photobiomodulation. In contrast to surgical lasers, the therapeutic lasers gently pass through your skin without breaking the skin or causing discomfort. Laser therapy is considered by many professionals and patients to be a very effective tool in improving injury condition.
Laser Therapy is a non-invasive form of therapy. Used for many years, it is non-toxic and your therapist can easily apply it to the injured area without added pressure or pain. Depending on your physiotherapy program and the extent of the injury, the benefits of Laser Therapy are widely accepted and are considered highly effective with no known side effects.
Laser Therapy aids in cell reproduction and inflammation reduction, thus providing the right environment for your body to heal itself. In most cases, the body’s natural healing processes are enhanced and the beneficial physiological changes are the result of tissue regeneration and cellular stimulation. Many other positive activities are modulated as well.
What Are the side effects associated with Laser Therapy?
Health care professionals, medical practitioners and pain clinics across Canada have been using Laser Therapy for the past 20 years. Research has shown a miniscule chances of side effects.
Can a combination of Laser Therapy and other treatment be done together?
Yes, Laser Therapy can be used together with many other types of therapy such as physiotherapy, acupuncture, and massage therapy, among others.
How many treatments should I undergo?
The number of treatments varies and totally depends on what problem the patient is facing. If there is an acute condition, at least one to six treatments may be required to help in reducing pain. If it is a chronic problem, you may require ten to fifteen treatments.
How soon can I expect results?
You may notice positive results after the very first Laser Therapy session. Typically, pain is greatly reduced after the third or the fourth session.
Laser Therapy + Physical Therapy: Can the mix speed up the Healing Process?
Harlan Pyes is the founder of Harlan Health Products, and a veteran of the Healthcare Industry for over three decades.
Laser Therapy has been used for almost 60 years around the world to treat a variety of conditions, but it wasn’t until 2002 that the FDA approved its use in the U.S. The FDA ruling came after a study showed that laser treatment alleviated serious Carpal Tunnel pain, and now Laser Therapy is being used to treat everything from sports related injuries and bone fractures to joint conditions and muscle injuries.
Since 2002, we’ve seen Laser Therapy effectively treat the injuries of your next-door neighbor and professional athletes alike. The bottom line: when paired with Physical Therapy, Laser Therapy is a breakthrough treatment that can speed up healing and return patients to the activities they need (and often love) to do.
So, how does Laser work? Our cells have the ability to absorb photons emitted by Laser Therapy and convert them to usable energy. The added energy aids in pain relief and healing at a rate a patient wouldn’t otherwise experience.
Laser Therapy is performed by a Physical Therapist, and is a painless process that takes between five and ten minutes. To achieve the best results, expect to try six to twelve sessions of the therapy. If you have any other questions about Laser Therapy, including how to get started, just ask your Physical Therapist. The staff at Professional Physical Therapy is eager to answer any of your therapy questions.

3W/5W/8W 532nm laser
3W/5W/8W 532nm laser provide by GIGAA Laser
The Gigaa Laser, Gbox and VELAS 532nm laser has 532nm wavelength laser, and provide 3w, 5w, 8w max power for your option. They are be used to treat blood vessels of the face (telangiectasias) and superficial spider veins on the legs. The532nm laser also removes cherry spots from the cheeks, neck and arms. You can see immediate disappearing of facial and nose blood vessels.
Hemoglobin in the blood vessel absorbs the laser’s energy, this heats up the vessel causing thermocoagulation (clogging) of the blood, leading to fibrosis of the vessel and eventual resorption.
Treatments usually last 20 minutes with minimal discomfort like a snapping rubber band. Sometimes there is a mild redness or scabbing of the area after treatment. Typically, 2 or 3 treatments are needed for optimal treatment.
Treatment of spider veins of the lower extremity with a novel 532 nm KTP laser
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
This study investigated a novel, high-power, 532 nm frequency-doubled Nd:YAG, KTP laser with contact cooling for the treatment of spider veins of the lower extremities.
STUDY:
Twenty female subjects with Fitzpatrick skin types I-III, were treated to 79 sites using the 532 nm wavelength of a dual-wavelength 532/1,064 nm laser (Excel V, Cutera, Brisbane, CA) with a 5 mm-diameter spot, fluences ranging from 13 to 15 J/cm(2) , and a pulse-duration of 40 milliseconds. Two treatments were performed 12 weeks apart. Photographs were taken at baseline and 12 weeks following the final treatment. Improvement was assessed by two independent physicians reviewing photographs in a blinded fashion using a 5-point improvement scale.
RESULTS:
All subjects demonstrated improvement resulting in a median improvement of 2.5 (one-sample Wilcoxon signed rank test, 95% CI: 1.9-2.9, P = 0.000). The reviewers were highly consistent (kappa of 0.85), and highly accurate (kappa of 0.85) in identification of "after photograph" and they were highly consistent in grading improvement. Subjects and the treating physician reported "significant" to "very significant" (∼51 to 100%) improvement in 75% and 69% of subjects, respectively. Post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation was seen in 2% of sites (1/64). No serious adverse effects reported. All subjects tolerated the treatments well (mean pain score of 2.9/10).
CONCLUSION:
Treatment of spider veins of the leg with a novel 532 nm KTP laser was found to be safe and effective, with minimal discomfort and adverse effects in Fitzpatrick skin types I-III.
