Many vascular lesions seem to creep up on you. Suddenly, you look in the mirror and you notice spider veins or broken capillaries. The good news is that with SharpLight’s treatment, you can quickly and effectively remove these unwanted vascular lesions and restore your skin to its vein free complexion.
There are many factors that cause vascular lesions to develop. A backup of blood in the vein is the most common cause. In addition, they can arise as a result of sun exposure or due to hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause.
During treatment, the DPC pulses are directed at the vascular lesion. The pulses have a specific wavelength which is optimally absorbed by the hemoglobin chromophore (a red protein responsible for transporting oxygen to the blood in the lesion).

Treatment time depends on the area and the number of lesions being treated. The treatment time ranges from a few minutes to an hour
The typical regimen is an average of 1-3 treatment sessions, depending on the size of the area being treated. They should be spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results, this is due to any natural healing that will occur between treatments.
SharpLight's pulsed-light treatments are non-invasive and safe. During the procedure, there may be a slight 1-2 second, momentary tingling sensation that may be felt, but no pain.
The treatments leave you with zero downtime so you can get them done during your errands or lunch hour and be back to your daily routine
DPC technology has been clinically proven to remove unwanted vascular lesions on skin types I-V
Immediately following treatment you will see a noticeable decrease in the vascular lesions treated. After you undergo several treatments, the lesions will disappear completely.
