![]() Had to re-calibrate my brain as I’m used to 1 hz or 1.5 with the new gen PDLs. The whole lesion could have been treated in 9-11 seconds □once muscle memory with the Hz kicks in. I could have got a better result if I used the 532 with the 1064 for the small blebs, but this was my first time firing the laser. It’s about 3-6 times quicker than the V Beam. The trusty V Beam can do this… in this context, it would normally take me 2-3 sessions to get this result, in rare cases, yeah… one session, off label & pushing it□ New laser, first patient, so no ‘hero settings’, just on-label, on card, one wavelength□□ ![]() ![]() Cutis represents the largest specialist laser center in Queensland – we have the ability and skill level to treat all forms of vascular lesions from port wine stains thru to venous lakes and AV Malformations. I use 4 different laser and light based machines to treat vascular lesions depending on your skin type, depth of the blood vessels and previous responses. This makes treatments more comfortable and safer. A very clever trick is to cool the skin’s surface a fraction of a second before the laser is delivered- this is termed Dynamic Cooling Device. This means that the top layer of your skin must be protected from the laser beam. Remember, port wine stains and vascular birthmarks lie under your skin. This heat destroys the walls, and fades the port wine stain. Laser targets haemoglobin, and transfers its energy via heat to the vessel walls. In vascular stains such as port wine lesions, the target is haemoglobin, found in blood. Lasers work on the basis of ‘selective thermolysis.’ This means that a specific wavelength is needed to treat blood vessels.
