Coolglide Excel Laser

Because Palm Clinic has a range of lasers available we are able to combine technology to ensure the best treatment is provided for your particular problem. In some cases with very large facial veins we use microsclerotherapy as well as lasers.

The Cool Glide Laser 1064 ND:Yag is an infrared spectrum laser that allows deep penetration of the laser into the skin. Its special cooling head, that remains in contact with the skin, cools the skin in advance of the laser beam (and can be used after it too) to protect the skin from damage. Consequently most or all of the sensation of the treatment is from the very cool head. Some of the pulses can be felt as a small needle-like prick at times. Special blackout eyewear is worn by the patient to protect his/her eyes from stray laser light that does arise from reflection off the skin and other surfaces. The operator wears a specially graded pair of laser spectacles to protect his/her own sight. Likewise the treatment room is off limits to others (including children) unless they are wearing special protective eyewear. Medical lasers can be very dangerous if not operated correctly.
