We use the blend method to eliminate skin lesions commonly called “broken capillaries” and “spider veins”. The medical name for these vessels is telangiectasia. Telangiectasia are small, permanently enlarged capillaries that lie in the upper dermis. We only treat the face and chest area. Telangiectases are commonly found on the nose, cheeks, lips and “V” of the neck and chest.
The blend method of electrolysis unites Direct current and High Frequency current in a single filament. The currents are applied together to block the flow of blood in the vessel. Blockage of the capillary is achieved by coagulating a small segment of the vessel. The blood is “clotted” at the treatment point. The clot blocks the flow of blood.
There are two ways the capillary heals and becomes functional again following treatment; either way the vessel becomes less visible. First, the damaged vessel and clot are permanently replaced by scar tissue; blood then flows through adjoining vessels. Secondly, a small channel, or canal, forms through the scar tissue. In that case the vessel is again functional, but smaller and less visible.
Dilated capillaries of the upper, or superficial dermis are dysfunctional. They carry blood, but are too large to nourish the skin cells effectively. When telangiectased are removed, new normal-size capillaries regrow to efficiently feed the skin.
The method we use is called the Bono-Blend method and it has shown to be an effective means for removal of facial and upper body telangiectasia, excluding vascular birthmarks such as the “port-wine” birthmark.
Efficacy of this method constitutes 100% visual elimination of the vascular lesion of a period of at least six months to one year following treatment. Most procedures require 1-5 treatments.
We offer a complimentary consultation to see if it would be effective for your particular situation.
Method eliminates broken capillaries directly through a high frequency and galvanic current to coagulate small vessels to make them smaller and less visible on the face, neck, and chest area.

SPLENDOR X is unlike any other hair removal system in the world. It is the first Nd:YAG and Alexandrite laser system to be powered by BLEND XTM technology for unprecedented power, speed, versatility and cover- age rate. What’s important about this new laser system is the speed and the ability to treat finer and thicker hairs at the same time using two wavelengths.
Lasertrolysis is a method of removing unwanted hair, utilizing laser energy targeted to the hair follicle to cause thermal damage and prevent further hairs from growing. It was invented by a team of laser dermatologists at the Wellman Laboratories of Photomedicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
The near-infrared laser light emitted by the system is preferentially absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for only a fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the follicle, while the system’s unique, patented contact-cooling handpiece cools the skin during the laser energy delivery.
Theoretically, damage to the hair follicle can remove unwanted hair permanently, but because of the nature of hair and the many factors that influence the growth of hair, the results are variable. The effect of repeated treatments is cumulative. In fact, most people experience long-term hair removal.
This process performed with a diamond dust-coated wand, is a safe and e ffective technique for improving… chnique for improving…
As with any medical treatment, use of the LightSheer Diode System can have some side effects. However, side effects have been minor and manageable in clinical use. The precise laser parameters used for the LightSheer Diode System were carefully defined by studying the anatomy of the hair follicle and precisely matching the color of laser light and the pulse duration to the size, depth, and location of the hair follicle. This research has resulted in a safe technique that effectively eliminates the risk of scarring and substantially reduces most other complications following treatment.
No treatment to remove unwanted hair is completely painless. The LightSheer Diode System is fast which reduces treatment time. It provides long-lasting hair removal, reducing the need for repeated treatment. The cooling lens helps reduce discomfort while protecting the skin surface from thermal injury during delivery of the laser light. If large or sensitive areas with unwanted hair are to be treated, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to the site to further reduce discomfort.
Immediately after treatment, the site will be somewhat swollen, appear slightly red in color, and will feel like a mild sunburn. This reaction subsides over a few hours, and then the treated sites usually return to their normal appearance. The amount of discomfort after this procedure is usually minimal and does not limit most normal physical activities. Since light is used to remove the hair, there is no bleeding and no open wound is created. For this reason, there is no need to apply a bandage and wound care is generally not required.
Each pulse of laser energy from the LightSheer Diode System will treat a square area of skin of approximately half an inch (12mm). For this reason, the amount of time required depends on the size of the area requiring treatment. For example, the upper lip and bikini line may require only 5-15 minutes of treatment. While a longer period of time will be required to treat the back or legs.
