Applications: Leg Viens

The non-invasive treatment of unsightly leg veins is one of the most requested, yet challenging of aesthetic procedures. Because of the various diameters, depths and pressures found with these vessels, their treatment often requires a wide range of wavelengths, pulse widths and fluences. Using a combination of therapies, such as those included on the Harmony™ system, physicians are able to treat:
 

  • Superficial and deep telangiectasias (venulectasias) and reticular veins (0.1 - 4.0 mm diameter.
  • Telangiectatic matting and hemosiderin staining, usually associated with sclerotherapy.


In accordance with the principle of selective photothermolysis, these vessels can be selectively heated and collapsed without damaging surrounding, healthy tissue. Depending on the nature of the vessels, either the Nd:YAG or an AFT treatment head could be used to produce the desired

Why Sonata™/Harmony™ are good choices

Both Sonata and Harmony™ provide physicians with safe and effective methods of delivering to their patients predictable, reliable and reproducible photoepilation results, including :

  • Effecting stable long-term or permanent hair reduction.
  • Use on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin.
  • The ability to treat nearly any hair color, from blond to black, as well as most terminal hair textures, from coarse to fine.
  • The ability to treat hairs on all parts of the body including anywhere on the face, the bikini line, legs, underarms or a man's back.
  • Causing minimal patient discomfort or side effects.

Why Harmony™ is a good choice

Using a combination of 1064-nm laser light in conjunction with various broadband AFT treatment parameters has, in many cases, been shown to be more effective than laser alone. And the procedure involves no needles and involves minimal discomfort.

Competitive, stand-alone systems offer similar specifications, but cannot be upgraded to perform additional applications. Only Harmony™ offers this level of performance in a completely upgradeable system.

Harmony™ Treatment: LP Nd:YAG 1064 Module 30 days after 1 Tx. 130 J/cm2 at 40 mesc.
