KTP Laser Treatment in Austin

A KTP laser is one that has a beam that is generated by a neodymium: YAG laser. This laser uses a potassium titanyl phosphate crystal to direct the light energy to the problem areas indicated. One use for KTP lasers at FourPoints Dermatology is for photocoagulation. This practice is used to destroy abnormal blood vessels that show up below the skin. These blood vessels can be disfiguring, especially if they show up on the face. Photocoagulation via the KTP laser is a way to remedy this condition. This laser therapy can also be used for spider veins under the skin, as well.

Those who use the KTP laser for Austin dermatology purposes have found that there are several benefits to using this laser technology over the use of other kinds of treatments. With this kind of laser, there is a great deal less bruising. The extensive bruising that is caused during other laser therapies contributes to a longer period needed for recovery. Patients who are treated with Austin KTP can return to their work routines much sooner than they normally can with other lasers. This type of laser also reduces the number of treatments needed, which means many people will see results faster than with other treatments.

Austin Dermatologists use KTP lasers to treat a variety of other skin conditions, from sun spots to redness associated with rosacea. These lasers have been applied in general to help reduce or eliminate visible signs of aging in many patients.
