Vaporization procedure – 5 advantages and 2 disadvantages

Laser vaporization is a new word in coloproctology! One of the minimally invasive methods used in our center for the treatment of hemorrhoids is laser vaporization . This technology meets the latest standards.

The essence of the treatment is to evaporate hemorrhoids using a laser. The evaporated substances are subsequently sclerosed.

A huge advantage of this proctological method is its low invasiveness. This is explained by the fact that the mucous tissue around the evaporated node remains intact and can subsequently fully perform its functions.

Modern proctological laser units

Laser devices used by coloproctologists are divided into several types depending on the wavelength:

• H;
• W;
• H/W.

The first type of laser installations use a wavelength at which the released energy is absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood. Cutting followed by coagulation is the main function of such devices.

Using the second type (W), you can be sure that the energy will be absorbed by the fluid concentrated in the tissues. It is optimal to use such devices for vaporization.

2 types of laser device modes can be used by proctologists in their work: continuous and with pulsation. The pulse mode of the settings allows you to avoid overheating and, accordingly, the likelihood of injury to tissues close to the hemorrhoid is significantly reduced.

High-quality laser vaporization is possible using W-type devices with a pulsed mode.

Laser radiation generator

A high-power dual-wave laser device is used in the proctology department of the Global Clinic Central Medical Center. The installation is carried out and complies with the most modern standards of coloproctology. Laser vaporization of hemorrhoids is performed by proctologists at our center using a unique LHP technique.

Submucosal introduction of the light guide of the laser device is made through a puncture of the skin in the submucosal layer. This completely eliminates injury to the mucous tissue.

Such minimally invasive treatment of hemorrhoids will be effective in the later stages of hemorrhoids if disarterization of hemorrhoidal arteries is added to laser vaporization (HAL-RAR technology). Proctologists will perform disarterization and mucopexy under Doppler control.

Associated proctological problems can also be eliminated using laser vaporization, these include the presence of:

• anal fissures;
• pararectal fistula;
• anal fimbriae;
• perianal condylomas.

Advantages of laser technology

It is no coincidence that coloproctologists at our clinic prefer laser methods. Advantages of laser technologies:

1. Elimination of infection (since sterilization occurs in the area of ​​laser exposure due to a certain temperature regime).
2. Minimum swelling in the laser cutting area.
3. Postoperative and surgical pain has been reduced to the lowest levels.
4. Significant reduction in blood loss.
5. There are virtually no complications after surgery.
6. Treatment time is reduced significantly; hospitalization is not required.

Positive aspects of using LHP laser vaporization

LHP technology occupies a special place in the treatment of hemorrhoids with laser. And this is quite understandable, because... This technique is low-traumatic, eliminates sutures, reduces pain during and after surgery, and minimizes inflammatory postoperative moments. Laser vaporization reduces the time of surgery and the postoperative period. There are practically no relapse cases. Take care of your health and contact the Global Clinic Center; our specialists will definitely help you get rid of hemorrhoidal problems using the most modern minimally invasive technologies.

What is vaporization: from the ancient world to the present day

Vaporization – treatment of the face with special steam. In its simplest form, this procedure was known back in Ancient Egypt. There, beautiful Egyptian women steamed their faces over vessels of hot water. The result was not long in coming: the skin became smooth and velvety, and all imperfections seemed to evaporate with boiling water. This secret traveled to different countries, but did not receive wide distribution.

Everything changed in the 19th century, when the beauty industry suddenly became interested in the magical properties of steam. This happened in the wake of the increased popularity of public baths among representatives of the middle class. During water procedures, women began to notice that under the influence of steam, the skin became more beautiful for a long time. This suggested to cosmetologists the idea of ​​local exposure to steam on the face. The procedure was based on the principle of a Russian bath using dense hot steam.

Now vaporization is a popular procedure in almost every salon. The basins with water were replaced by a vaporizer device. It is designed quite simply: a special compartment for liquid, a water heating element and a nozzle with a hole for steam to escape. Under the influence of temperature, the liquid evaporates, and the patient’s face is treated with the resulting steam.

Vaporization is equally effective both as a separate procedure and as a component of complex measures.

Who is vacuum cleaning recommended for?

If the patient has an oily skin type, then mechanical cleansing cannot be done, as it can cause injury to the skin. Due to injuries to the epidermis, the sebaceous glands begin to work very intensively, as a result of which existing problems on the skin intensify (inflammation occurs, acne and pimples appear, pores become clogged).

The cosmetic procedure is indicated for: impaired turgor, lumpy skin, decreased tone and elasticity of the epidermis. If there are minor defects on the skin, acne, blackheads and large pores, vacuum facial cleansing is prescribed. Manipulation is carried out on the face only when there are no obvious inflammatory processes on the epidermis.

For severely contaminated facial skin, the technique is also used, but more sessions will be required to achieve the desired results. A cosmetologist spends much more time on heavily contaminated skin, and the doctor has to do some manipulations himself.

Types of vaporization

As we already mentioned, vaporization has improved significantly since ancient times. Innovations affected the principle of its execution. Now there are three types of procedures, depending on what the surface of the skin is treated with. So, vaporization happens:

• Cold. It is based on cold steam treatment. This procedure is suitable for patients who do not tolerate exposure to high temperatures.

• Ozone. The skin is steamed with ozone steam. The advantage of this type is its bactericidal effect. Ozone steam treatment will especially appeal to those with oily and problematic skin.

• Hot. This method exactly repeats the effect of a bath - cleansing of toxins and a healthy complexion are guaranteed!

Advantages of vaporization in medical

The essence of the procedure is the thermal effect of the laser on pathological areas. This is how internal and external hemorrhoids are removed. The laser beam practically “cuts” and cauterizes tissue in a jewelry-like manner. If the internal node is burned out from the inside, connective tissue forms in its place. And the laser cuts off the external nodules. In this case, the blood vessels are sealed, so bleeding does not develop.

Medical provides laser therapy for hemorrhoids in Krasnodar. The offices of proctological surgeons are equipped with modern equipment for effective treatment and comfortable recovery of patients.

Our doctors regularly undergo internships and improve their skills, so they perform microsurgical operations at a high level.

Vaporization has the following advantages

:

• There is no need for hospitalization. The operation is bloodless and painless. During the rehabilitation period, our patients do not experience discomfort;
• The center's doctors provide psychological comfort throughout the treatment. This is one of the main principles of their work. They relieve nervous tension in patients by prescribing sedatives;
• Vaporization is one of the safest treatment methods in terms of infection.

Indications and contraindications

As a stand-alone procedure, vaporization is suitable for those who have tired, dull or dull skin. Steam treatment will return the face to a fresh look and smooth out shallow wrinkles. In short, vaporization alone can solve only minor problems. Much more often it is used as a preparation for more serious procedures: a nourishing mask, massage, peeling or facial cleansing. Warm steam helps open the pores, which means nutrients penetrate deep into the epidermis.

The procedure cannot be performed if the client:

• dry and sensitive skin - in this case, infatuation with steam leads to dehydration;
• there are diseases of the cardiovascular system: hypertension, arrhythmia, etc.;
• exacerbation of chronic skin pathologies;
• the functioning of the respiratory system is disrupted.

Why is the procedure performed?

The hardware method of cleansing the skin helps get rid of blackheads that clog pores. Blackheads look very unsightly on the surface of the skin and block the access of oxygen to the pores. Due to insufficient nutrition of the epithelium with oxygen and other beneficial substances, a deterioration in complexion is observed and acne often appears.

Vacuum cleansing of facial skin is good because the device is used to clean hard-to-reach problem areas, for example, the chin, nose, etc. Other methods of cleansing the epidermis are not able to treat the skin so well and get a 100% result.

Five tips for making the procedure more effective:

1. The vaporizer needs to be prepared, for this it is turned on 20-25 minutes before the start of the session;
2. steam treatment should be carried out with smooth and uniform movements;
3. do not come into contact with the device: the distance between the client and the vaporizer must be at least 40 cm;
4. during the procedure you need to treat the face from bottom to top;
5. The procedure interval is no more than once every two weeks.

Normally, vaporization should not cause any discomfort in the client. If you experience the slightest discomfort, you should immediately inform your cosmetologist.

Alternatives

“If you bought such a device for use at home, put it aside and do not use it,” the expert advises. “You won’t bring anything else to your skin other than injuries.” And even if you carefully prepare your face, you won’t be able to pull out a blackhead with a vacuum without professional skills.”

Instead of vacuum cleaning, the specialist recommends paying attention to other procedures: mechanical, ultrasonic or combined. In this case, the decision about which procedure to use should be made by a cosmetologist based on an assessment of the skin condition.

If the skin is healthy, it is worth periodically doing atraumatic mechanical cleaning with cosmetics. This procedure is very pleasant, does not cause discomfort and refreshes the face well. If there are minor impurities, the cosmetologist will recommend ultrasound, and if there are a lot of clogged pores or there are deep elements, you can only deal with them with a tool or your hands. The vacuum should be left in the past, so as not to get a noticeable spider vein on the face in the future.

Pros and cons of vaporization

The procedure undoubtedly has many advantages:

• absence of allergic reactions;
• normalization of sebum production;
• stimulation of lymph flow;
• expansion of pores for subsequent cleaning;
• efficiency;
• painlessness;
• low cost, etc.

Even the best procedure has its critics. All negative reviews of vaporization are associated more likely with the unprofessionalism of the cosmetologist than with the specifics of the procedure. Thus, customers claim that steam treatment leads to skin dehydration. In part, this is fair. However, if you treat oily or problematic facial skin in this way, critical loss of moisture will not occur.

Another argument against vaporization is that the procedure makes the skin loose and wrinkled. And you can’t argue with that either! If the procedure is carried out too often, then as a side effect you can actually get pallor and a couple of new wrinkles. Let us remind you that the optimal frequency of the procedure is once every 14 days.

How effective is vacuum cleaning?

The technique helps to get rid of blackheads on the face and other formations. At the same time, dead skin particles are removed, making the skin smooth and pleasant to the touch again. After one manipulation, most patients experience a positive result.

Hardware therapy also has a rejuvenating effect, since during the procedure blood circulation improves, nutrients and oxygen enter the cells, metabolism improves and the number of wrinkles appears decreases (due to the supply of oxygen to the epithelial cells, collagen begins to be more actively produced).

Ablative body rejuvenation

Fractional ablative laser body rejuvenation is a method that allows you to effectively smooth out skin texture, improve tone and eliminate pigment spots, correct gravitational ptosis, scars and stretch marks with shorter rehabilitation than with classic laser resurfacing.

The laser microbeam sequentially perforates the skin, creating numerous microscopic zones of damage surrounded by tissue untouched by the laser beam. The cells of these intact areas are activated, and due to them, collagen and elastin cells are renewed in the damaged areas, metabolic processes are activated, and healthy skin grows. Healing occurs in just 1-2 days, which allows you not to fall out of your normal lifestyle.

Result from the procedure

• non-surgical rejuvenation of body skin (décolletage, arms, hands, mammary glands, etc.);
• improvement of skin tone;
• smoothing the skin surface, significant refreshing and brightening, which is directly related to the peeling effect;
• pronounced tightening and reduction of excess skin;
• elimination of increased skin pigmentation;
• smoothing postoperative and traumatic scars;
• correction of stretch marks (striae).

Clinical trials have shown that after fractional laser rejuvenation procedures, a pronounced rejuvenating effect of the skin is achieved with a simultaneous lifting effect.

The best time for therapeutic effects with fractional laser is from September to the end of April. And the optimal treatment regimen and frequency of procedures will be selected by your attending physician, based on the individual characteristics of your skin condition, your wishes and the condition of the body as a whole.

Ablative facial rejuvenation

Recently, lasers with high radiation intensity are finding increasing use in cosmetology.
The most popular among them are fractional lasers. Fractional laser gives guaranteed results in the treatment of many aesthetic problems of the facial skin due to the controlled and deep impact of the laser beam. Microthermal zones are formed in the areas where the laser operates, in which old skin is completely removed. At the same time, neighboring areas remain undamaged. Consequently, healing occurs much faster (only 1-2 days), which allows you to immediately return to your normal lifestyle. The body reacts to the effects of the laser and includes protective reactions of the body. Active synthesis of collagen cells and skin restoration occurs.

Result from the procedure

• non-surgical rejuvenation of the skin of the face, neck, décolleté;
• improvement of skin tone;
• elimination of wrinkles in the eye area (“crow’s feet”);
• elimination of increased skin pigmentation;
• smoothing postoperative and traumatic scars;
• correction of stretch marks (striae);
• improvement of skin condition after acne (post-acne).

Clinical trials have shown that after ablative fractional laser rejuvenation procedures, a rejuvenating effect of the skin is achieved with a simultaneous lifting effect.

Benefits of laser rejuvenation

• a non-contact sterile procedure that is a worthy alternative to chemical peels;
• minimum recovery period (1-2 days);
• does not require anesthesia;
• When setting scanner parameters, individual skin characteristics are taken into account.

Recovery time for patients undergoing this procedure is minimal. Following an ablative laser rejuvenation treatment, the formation of new collagen is stimulated to improve skin texture and tone.
