KTP Laser

Introduction

Introduction to KTP Laser Therapy

For many individuals in the Virginia Beach area, visible facial veins and skin discoloration can detract from a smooth, youthful appearance. These veins can be difficult to treat with traditional methods, whether due to aging, sun exposure, or other factors. Fortunately, KTP Laser Therapy offers an advanced, non-invasive solution for targeting and eliminating these vascular imperfections. At The Carney Center in Virginia Beach and Newport News, VA, we use the KTP/532 wavelength laser, an effective and minimally invasive treatment designed to help restore your skin’s natural beauty.

What is KTP Laser Therapy?

The KTP/532 wavelength laser is a green light device used for treating small but visible facial veins – those red, blue, or purple-colored blood vessels found near the skin’s surface. The laser’s light energy is absorbed by vascular areas of the skin, with relatively little absorption in the surrounding and underlying tissue; there is virtually no damage to adjacent tissue. Anesthesia is not required for the process, and patients can walk out of the office immediately without post-treatment bruising or pain.

What Are the Benefits of KTP Laser Therapy?

KTP Laser Therapy offers numerous benefits, making it a sought-after option for individuals seeking to enhance their skin’s appearance without undergoing surgery. Key benefits include:

  • Effective treatment of visible facial veins
  • Non-invasive procedure
  • Minimal downtime
  • Precision
  • Quick and easy

Who Are the Best Candidates For KTP Laser Therapy?

KTP Laser Therapy is ideal for individuals with small to medium-sized visible veins that are located near the skin’s surface, particularly on the face. It is particularly effective for conditions such as spider veins, broken capillaries, and redness associated with rosacea. The best candidates for this treatment are those in good health, with realistic expectations for the results. While the treatment is safe for most skin types, it’s essential to consult with Dr. Martin Carney or Dr. Martin Carney III to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for KTP Laser Therapy, especially if you have any history of blood clotting disorders or skin sensitivities.

What’s the
first step?

The first step toward clearer, more even-toned skin with KTP Laser Therapy is a personal consultation at The Carney Center in Virginia Beach or Newport News. During your visit, Dr. Martin Carney or Dr. Martin Carney III will evaluate your skin concerns, discuss your goals, and determine whether KTP laser treatment is the right solution for you. This is also your opportunity to ask questions, explore your treatment options, and learn what kind of results you can expect. If you’re ready to get started, call (757) 481-4455 to schedule your private consultation.

What to Expect on the Day of KTP Laser Therapy Surgery

After a brief consultation and review of your treatment plan with either Dr. Martin Carney or Dr. Martin Carney III, your skin will be cleansed and prepped for the laser session.

During the procedure, a handheld device delivers precise pulses of green light from the KTP laser directly to the targeted veins or redness. The laser energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. You might feel a mild warming sensation or a light snapping feeling with each pulse—most patients compare it to a quick rubber band snap. To enhance comfort, a cooling gel or device may be used throughout the session to protect the surrounding skin.

KTP Laser Therapy Recovery

After treatment, you may notice some mild redness or slight swelling, but there is no need for bandages or extensive aftercare.

You can return to your daily routine immediately, but to ensure optimal results, avoid direct sun exposure and follow any aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Martin Carney or Dr. Martin Carney III.
