DioLite Laser
Diolite Laser delivering excellent results for removing unwanted lesions!

The Diolite laser, now available at Miramar Dermatology, has proven itself to be very effective in removing various types of both vascular and pigmented lesions. The procedure works by targeting your lesion with a specific type of laser light that is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (Bright red blood cells) and melanin (pigment). The laser produces heat that decomposes the lesions but leaves healthy cells intact.

• Facial spider veins caused by the dilation of capillary vessels or arterioles (Telengectasias).

• Slightly raised, red spider-like lesions (Spider Angiomas).

• Slightly raised, red lesions (Cherry Angiomas).

• Elevated pigmented spots seen on face and back of hands (Keratosis).

• Flat, brown spots on the skin, associated with frequent sun exposure (Lentingines).

• Freckles

• Small black marks seen primarily on people of Asian or African descent (Dermatosis Papulosis Nigra).

The Diolite Laser procedure is fairly simple, depending of course, on the patient and the area being treated. Generally, the procedure is done with only a topical anesthesia. The doctor will direct a thin beam of laser light at your lesion. You will be given special goggles to protect your eyes during the treatment.

Diolite Lasers usually leave some redness that lasts 2-4 hours; there may also be some swelling for a day or two. The Diolite Laser procedure leaves no bruising or scaring. The treatment only lasts a few minutes and minor post op care is required (using an antibacterial ointment and staying out of the sun). For pigmented lesions, final results should be evident in 2-3 weeks. For vascular lesions expect 10-14 days.
