🌹 Laser & IPL Vascular Treatment Simulator

Mapping Visible Telangiectasia Before Treatment

Placeholder: visible red vessels are mapped before laser or IPL treatment begins.

• 0.1–1mm: Typical vessel size (placeholder metric)
• Cheeks/nose: Common location (placeholder metric)
• I–IV: Skin types treated (placeholder metric)
• Photography: Pre-treatment step (placeholder metric)

Identifying target vessels for treatment planning

Placeholder text: clinicians map visible capillaries prior to selecting laser parameters.

Selective Photothermolysis — Targeting Without Damaging Skin

Placeholder: selective photothermolysis heats a chromophore while sparing surrounding tissue.

• ~ms: Thermal relaxation time (placeholder metric)
• Pulse duration: Key parameter (placeholder metric)
• Anderson & Parrish: Concept origin (placeholder metric)
• Selective damage: Goal (placeholder metric)

Matching pulse duration to vessel thermal relaxation time

Placeholder text: pulse duration is matched to vessel size for selective heating.

Hemoglobin Chromophore Absorption of Laser and IPL Light

Placeholder: hemoglobin absorbs specific wavelengths more than surrounding tissue.

• 532/585/1064nm: Key wavelengths (placeholder metric)
• Oxyhemoglobin: Chromophore (placeholder metric)
• ~577nm: Absorption peak (placeholder metric)
• Laser / IPL: Device type (placeholder metric)

Wavelength selection for hemoglobin-specific absorption

Placeholder text: chosen wavelengths favor hemoglobin absorption over melanin.

Thermal Coagulation and Closure of Dilated Capillaries

Placeholder: absorbed heat coagulates vessel walls, closing the capillary.

• ~70°C: Coagulation temp (placeholder metric)
• Collapse: Vessel response (placeholder metric)
• Days–weeks: Healing time (placeholder metric)
• Purpura fades: Visible sign (placeholder metric)

How coagulated vessels are cleared by the body

Placeholder text: closed capillaries are gradually resorbed by the body.

Multiple Session Treatment Protocols for Full Clearance

Placeholder: full clearance usually needs several spaced treatment sessions.

• 3–5: Typical sessions (placeholder metric)
• 3–4 weeks: Session interval (placeholder metric)
• 50–75%: Clearance rate (placeholder metric)
• Annual touch-up: Maintenance (placeholder metric)

Planning a multi-session course for durable results

Placeholder text: sessions are spaced to allow healing between treatments.

Placeholder highlight: consistent sessions improve long-term vessel clearance.
