More Effective Laser Treatments in the Near Future?

I am putting together a report on a multicenter study being performed to evaluate the effect of different lasers and laser protocols on the treatment of facial vascular disorders.

Several University clinics are using 3-D imaging techniques with state of the art gadgets to evaluate the removal of facial blood vessels at different levels of the skin and how to improve laser effectiveness with different contact gels, combination laser approaches and identify what size vessels AND what angles these vessels are at, in each layer of the skin.... this gives us a much better standard protocol for all laser physicians.

Another group is using radiolabelled dye to evaluate permanent removal of blood vessels -- the best protocols to use to ensure permanent removal of blood vessels and replacement with healthy connective tissue. This same group hopes to follow up this study with a clinical study to evaluate how to best reduce the number and reactivity of pain, burning, stinging and heat-sensitive nerves via neuronal radiolabelling techniques. No more burning faces in the future???? Half the treatments, twice the response???

No need for biopsies anymore as they can perform these tests with noninvasive medical equipment.

This is some of the best news in a while.
