VELAS 940nm/980nm laser for vascular treatments

Vascular treatments are possible due to laser absorption by hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin. The skin which contains more melanin, provides a media with lower laser radiation absorption, allowing the energy to be transferred through the skin to be absorbed by the internal blood vessels. Penetration depth of the 980nm energy in aqueous tissue is 2 -4 mm. Accordingly, the underlying blood vessels can be treated with minimal damage to the skin surface.
