645 photoderm; double pass and Vasculight

June 30, 2001

Hi,

To anyone who has been treated with Vasculight or the double-pass

filter using 645.

Dr. Nase says in his book that Dr. Bitter has been treating using

vasculight at key inflow areas (p.186).

Read on...

I have largeish (1-2.5mm?) visible veins in at the very top of my

neck and along my jawline (about 4); they are not telangiectasia,

they look kind of like smaller versions of the veins in your arm

where they take blood from. These are sometimes painful and I get a

hot feeling in the area before and during flushing. E.g. if I go for

a walk on a hot day, if my face is on the " verge " of flushing (you'll

know the feeling), they will feel swollen and painful and the area

will be hot to the touch even though my neck never goes red.

I am wondering if these are feeding IN or coming OUT. I will talk to

my photoderm practitioner about it when I visit in late July but

would be grateful of any feedback. I am thinking that they may be a

candidate for Vasculight treatment. Maybe they are the " feeder

vessels " that Dr. Nase talks about in his chapter on Photoderm.

BTW, can the people who were treated with the 645 filter on a double-

pass protocol OR the Vasculight on a double-pass protocol let me know

if it was noticably better than 1-pass treatments ? Any specifics

such as treatment paramaters would also be interesting (I appreciate

these aren't likely to be useful to TREAT me, but I would be

interested in the info).

Regards,

.
