F A Q ‘ s :
What will the client look like post treatment?
The client will appear erythemic (red with inflammation) over the area of treatment. This
redness should reduce within a few hours. The lower the Fitzpatrick scale (1 is a person
who is very pale and always will burn with sun exposure) the longer it make take for the
redness to subside.
2. What if the client returns with the same vessels present 30 days later?
This means the technician has not treated the area properly. Most likely did not hold the
tap a full 3 seconds. While treating, blanching usually occurs immediately, however
there needs to be enough high frequency over the capillary to effectively dehydrate.
There is a happy medium with time treating the irregularity.
3. What do I tell the client about recurring telangiectasia?
Remember that these minor skin irregularities will reoccur all of the clients’ life. You must
educate them and let them know that when they start to see a few telangiectasia surface in
a few months to simply make an appointment to have them treated.
4. Why not treat the legs?
To effectively treat telangiectasia in the lower extremities the client must adhere to a very
strict regime after treatment. Such as compression garments, and not standing for long
periods. Most clients are not compliant and therefore clients are not satisfied. In my practice I
like to refer to a laser center that can also treat the purple, blue and green veins. Clients will
appreciate you being able to send them to someone who can treat all at one time!
