What is Exothermic Eraser Laser?
Exothermic Eraser Laser is the latest advanced technological vascular (for veins) laser device approved by the FDA, used for the treatment of capillary varicose veins. With its special camera system and cooled treatment head, it provides a pain-free, painless treatment option without the need for anesthesia, without causing skin damage, and can be used on capillaries anywhere on the body, including the face, with a high success rate. When treated with Exothermic Eraser Laser, both the patient and the doctor can observe in real-time the disappearance of the veins during the procedure, which is why it is called the "eraser laser."
What is the Working Principle?
Technically, it utilizes a patented special pulse technology with 980 nm diode laser technology and a special camera system that magnifies the vein 10 times and projects the image on the screen, allowing direct targeting of the vein for a permanent and safe treatment.
The 980 nm diode laser energy is converted into heat, and the resulting thermal effect eliminates the vein.
What Treatments are Performed with Exothermic Eraser Laser?
It offers a definitive solution for vascular issues with a diameter of up to 2 mm, including red and blue capillaries, spider veins, telangiectasia and rosacea on the face and body, hemangiomas, and superficial capillary varices.
How is the Application Performed?
A thin layer of ultrasound gel is applied to the area to be treated. The device's head is positioned in contact with this area. The special camera system magnifies the veins 10 times and projects the image onto the screen. The doctor performs the treatment by eliminating the veins with laser shots. Both the patient and the doctor can simultaneously observe the veins disappearing on the screen.
Is the Application Painful?
The device's head features sapphire cooling technology, maintaining a constant temperature of 5 degrees cold on the skin. This protects the tissue from thermal damage, allowing the procedure to be performed painlessly and without discomfort. During the application, the patient may sometimes feel a slight sensation similar to a mosquito bite or a mild needle prick.
How Many Sessions Are Needed for Permanent Results?
With Exothermic Eraser Laser, results can be achieved in a single session depending on the structure of the vein, but generally, permanent results are obtained in 2 to 3 sessions.
What Are the Interval Between Sessions and When Are Permanent Results Observed?
The minimum interval between two sessions is 4 weeks. To see permanent results, 4 to 6 weeks must pass.
Is the Application Safe?
Exothermic Eraser Laser is an FDA-approved device from one of the world's largest and most respected health organizations. Features such as precise targeting, patented pulse technology, dose control, and cooling systems ensure effective elimination of veins without damaging surrounding tissues and preventing vein ruptures. There are no burns or unwanted marks after the procedure. The adjustment of the joule value allows for personalized settings, increasing its success.
Are There Any Side Effects?
There are no side effects. In the treated areas, there may be slight swelling and redness depending on skin sensitivity, but these symptoms usually disappear within a few days. It is important to apply a moisturizing cream to the treated area for 3-4 days after the treatment and to protect it from direct sunlight.
Is the Treatment Permanent?
After treatment with Exothermic Varicose Laser, the eliminated veins disappear permanently. For permanent results, the entire treatment must be completed.
What Are the Differences and Advantages Compared to Other Techniques?
In the treatment of capillary varices, Nd-Yag Laser and radiofrequency systems are commonly used. The laser technology used in these applications converts energy into heat, performing a coagulation process.
Since the beam is directed from a few centimeters above the skin and by eye, it can burn the tissue and damage surrounding tissues, making the procedure quite painful for patients. Additionally, burns and resulting marks (purpura) can occur afterward.
When high-energy laser energy is applied, patients face the risk of burning, while ineffective results may occur at low energy levels. In radiofrequency systems, the process can also be quite painful, and the results may fail, causing the vanished veins to reappear.
Exothermic Eraser Laser allows for targeting the vein directly with a 10-times magnified image on the screen, using dose control to deliver the correct amount of laser energy to the targeted vein, effectively neutralizing it without damaging surrounding tissues or rupturing the vein. The cooling system in the head allows for a pain-free application and protects the skin tissue, preventing unwanted burns and marks (purpura).
Why is it Called Eraser Laser?
The special camera in the head magnifies the veins 10 times and transmits the image to the device's screen. When the laser shot is made, the veins are instantly erased, and this process can be observed on the screen in real-time. Since both the patient and the doctor can see the veins disappearing during the application, this method is referred to as “eraser laser.”
