Skin & Laser Dermatology Center, led by Dr. Amir Bajoghli, is unveiling advanced laser therapies to treat Poikiloderma of Civatte, a skin condition affecting many patients with visible redness, pigmentation changes, and blood vessels on the neck and chest. This groundbreaking approach offers safe, effective, and minimally invasive solutions to improve the appearance of the skin and restore its natural tone.
Poikiloderma of Civatte is a chronic condition characterized by redness (erythema), pigmentation changes (either darkening or lightening of the skin), and small visible blood vessels (telangiectasia), often appearing on the sides of the neck and upper chest. Though the exact cause remains unclear, experts believe that prolonged sun exposure, genetics, and hormonal shifts contribute to the development of the condition, particularly in women over the age of 40 with fair skin.
“We are excited to offer our patients advanced laser technologies that can reduce the visible signs of Poikiloderma of Civatte, such as redness and pigmentation changes, while promoting smoother and healthier skin,” said Dr. Amir Bajoghli, founder of Skin & Laser Dermatology Center. “These treatments are designed to minimize discomfort, reduce recovery time, and enhance overall skin texture, providing long-lasting results.”
Among the laser treatments available at the center are Intense Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) therapies, including Vbeam Perfecta, Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, and Fractional Laser Resurfacing. Each of these methods targets the key symptoms of Poikiloderma of Civatte, including redness, pigmentation, and the visible network of blood vessels. While IPL therapy is particularly effective for both hyperpigmentation and telangiectasia, PDL specifically targets the red blood vessels causing the redness. For more severe cases, Fractional Laser Resurfacing helps stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing discoloration.
Patients at Skin & Laser Dermatology Center will receive individualized consultations to assess the severity of their condition and develop personalized treatment plans. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, and consistent sun protection is advised to prevent recurrence of the condition.
