LASER TREATMENTS IN HOUSTON
ADVATx Laser Treatments in Houston, TX
Village Physicians offers ADVATx laser treatments for selected skin concerns, including facial redness, rosacea, visible blood vessels, certain types of acne and acne scars, and fine lines and wrinkles. This dual-wavelength laser technology allows treatment to be tailored to your skin concerns and clinical needs.
What Is ADVATx Laser Treatment?
ADVATx is a medical laser system that uses two wavelengths of light—589 nm and 1319 nm—to address different skin concerns.
The 589 nm wavelength is used for selected vascular and inflammatory skin conditions, including rosacea and visible blood vessels. The 1319 nm wavelength is indicated for fine lines and wrinkles and atrophic acne scars, as well as mild to moderate inflammatory acne.
The treatment approach depends on the concern being addressed, the area being treated, and your individual skin characteristics. A consultation can help determine whether ADVATx laser treatment is a suitable option for you.
Village Physicians can discuss your skin concerns, explain the treatment approach, and review potential benefits, limitations, and risks before you decide whether to proceed.
Skin Concerns Addressed by ADVATx Laser Treatments
ADVATx laser treatment may be an option for selected skin conditions and cosmetic concerns. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, treatment area, and individual circumstances.
Rosacea and Facial Redness
Laser treatment may help reduce visible redness and certain blood vessels associated with rosacea. Results vary, and some patients may need additional treatments or other forms of rosacea management.
Visible Blood Vessels
Selected vascular concerns, including small visible blood vessels known as telangiectasia, may be appropriate for laser treatment following clinical evaluation.
Acne and Acne Scars
Certain types of inflammatory acne and atrophic acne scars may be treated with specific ADVATx wavelengths. The appropriate approach depends on the type and severity of the condition.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The 1319 nm wavelength is indicated for fine lines and wrinkles. The extent of improvement varies according to the area treated and individual response.
Some other skin concerns may also be candidates for laser treatment. A consultation with Village Physicians can help determine whether ADVATx treatment is appropriate for your particular concern and what results you may reasonably expect.
