Telangiectasia (Dot-Like)

I have many dot-like telangiectasias on my upper arms that have been there for years. They look exactly like this: Dot-like telangiectasia removal - YouTube

I have gotten laser (Nd:YAG) in the past on larger telangiectasias and spider veins (<10) on my hands/chest/legs but I can’t imagine getting zapped over and over for these. I feel like electrolysis might be better, but I’m not sure.

My current electrologist doesn’t treat these. How do I find which states allow electrologists to perform this? Does anyone have recommendations of anyone in the USA good with dot-like telengiectasias? Or are they not commonly treated?

Thanks!

Hello

Here you can find for your State in the Forum the right one , just Select the State : https://hairtell.com/forum/c/hairtell-practitioner-locator/15

At least can tell MINIMUM @Bono can Treat it ( Santa Barbara, California.), the Youtube channel /video You posted is from him. Maybe he can give you some good adresses in your near.

Here is the bizarre rule on “who can perform this.”

Well, anyone WITHOUT a license can perform this treatment (and use any electrolysis machine). However, if you have an electrolysis license that does not specify you can do the treatment, then you cannot. Imagine that a well-trained electrologist, who can do amazing “tele” work, is not allowed … but, any “Joe-blow” (not licensed) can! And, that’s how stupid State licensing truly is. “The government is an ass.”

If you live in the UK, New Zealand, or Australia, this treatment is fully legal and commonly performed by electrologists. Frankly, the treatment is so easy that I can train someone in about an hour … and, it’s virtually fool-proof and impossible to create a scar. But not so with hair removal that takes a few years to master the craft. I stopped doing the treatments except for videos.

Michael how common is VBR used in dermatology/medical profession these days? Did it become less popular once vascular lasers became trendy? I can vouch that VBR is easy to learn and achieve as I have treated my own blood-moles by myself because the vascular laser treatments from a dermatology clinic would have been insanely pricey. .

Interestingly, and I should do a video about this whole issue, my once little $1500 Telangitron (just an electrolysis machine with a different name and one extra circuit in the DC) was taken over by “the big boys.” These “big boy” units,e.g., Veinwave and VeinGo, that were featured on “the Doctors,” sells for $28,000. Now we know why medical equipment (still only an electrolysis unit) cost so much and the treatments are ridiculously pricey. These medical units are no more than your electrolysis machine!

Think about this. The cost of producing the Telangitron was $400. I paid the manufacturer $800 and sold the unit for $1500. Now, in the years following my Telangitron experience, the costs OF ALL electronics has gone DOWN. For example, my first Macintosh had a “massive” 40-megabite hard-drive and 1-meg of ram! I paid $5400 for that thing. Can you imagine? I mean, your cell phone has more power than the computers used to put man on the moon! (I might have that last fact wrong … but it sure sounds good.)
