Moveo Vascular Treatment

The treatment begins with a thorough consultation, where your provider evaluates the vascular concerns such as broken capillaries, spider veins, or facial redness.  Your skin type, medical history, and overall goals are reviewed the create a personalized treatment plan. 

The treatment area is cleansed to remove any oils, lotions, or makeup. You'll be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. Depending on the area and your comfort level, a cooling gel may be applied to the skin, although the Moveo handpiece already includes a sapphire tip that delivers continuous contact cooling for added safety and comfort. 

Your provider then begins the treatment using the Moveo handpiece with Nd:YAG laser energy. The laser is moved slowly and repetitively across the affected area in a continuous gliding motion. This allows the energy to build gradually within the targeted blood vessels without overheating or damaging the surrounding skin. The laser energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, generating heat that causes the vessel walls the break down and eventually collapse. These vessels are then naturally eliminated by the body's lymphatic system over time. 

Once the treatment is complete, the area is gently cleansed, and a soothing gel or lotion is applied. The skin may appear slightly red or flushed immediately afterward, but this usually subsides within a few hours. Post-treatment care instructions are typically:

• Avoid sun exposure and excessive heat for 24-48 hours
• Avoid vigorous exercise for 24-48 hours
• Wear sunscreen daily 

Depending on the severity and size of the vascular lesions, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results. Over time, the treated vessels fade, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin with minimal downtime.
