Problems
Spider Naevi
These are caused by the opening of a small blood vessel close to the skin surface. They respond very well to various laser treatments, particularly pulse dye laser (Cynergy) and the Gemini laser, which is a KTP laser.
Gemini KTP laser - Spider Naevi
Gemini KTP laser - Spider Naevi
The Gemini KTP laser emits two different wavelengths - 532nm and 1064nm. The laser wavelength is attracted to a particular target (red/brown), but not attracted to normal skin and is therefore very specific in its treatment. The 532nm wavelength is targeted to treating broken capillaries and rosacea. The 1064nm wavelength is targeted to treating facial veins and venous lakes. The Gemini is considered to be more efficacious in the treatment of facial broken blood vessels than the pulse dye laser.
