In the past, the only available treatment options for skin imperfections like broken blood vessels, skin tags, milia, and cherry angiomas were painful freezing or cutting of these lesions. VascuTouch offers a gentler, non-invasive treatment option that utilizes electrocoagulation via a fine-tipped, sterile probe to cut off blood flow to affected areas of the skin’s surface. El Con Health and Wellness can provide VascuTouch treatment following a brief assessment of the vessel or blemish requiring treatment. If VascuTouch isn’t the right treatment option for your needs, we may recommend alternatives within our practice or help you schedule an appointment with a suitable provider for your skincare needs.
VascuTouch addresses surface irregularities that are generally harmless but can cause cosmetic concerns, such as broken capillaries on the cheeks and nose, cherry angiomas that resemble large red moles, milia (small, white bumps that resemble whiteheads), and skin tags, which tend to appear around the neck, face, underarms, and back.
VascuTouch is an electrocoagulation device that coagulates blood vessels supplying blood to skin irregularities like those listed above. There is no pressure or penetration during treatment, and topical anesthetic ensures optimal comfort during the treatment process. Treatment only takes a few minutes, but it can take a few days to a few weeks for blemishes and damaged vessels to disappear, depending on the exact type of irregularity being treated. Skin tags will scab and fall off within days while broken capillaries will take up to four weeks to fully disappear from the skin’s surface.
It is important to note that VascuTouch does not remove moles other than skin tags. Our providers are happy to provide referrals to trusted dermatologists in the area if you need care for a mole or other lesion that is not treatable within our practice.
Wonderful service and experience overall. I recommend this place 100%. The service I’ve received at other locations does not compare. -Hannia Martinez
