An in-office therapy for treating facial blood vessels and hyperpigmentation, the DioLite laser employs intense green light energy. This light is focused on the damaged blood vessels or areas of skin with an abundance of melanin in order to eliminate them, while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.
The procedure is typically performed using a topical anesthesia. There may be some redness and swelling in the treatment area following the procedure, but this usually resolves within two days. The results of DioLite treatment will be fully noticeable within two weeks when treating blood vessels and within three weeks when treating hyperpigmentation. Although most patients only require one treatment, some patients benefit from additional treatments. Some patients return after a few years to treat new areas.
