Syringomas

Syringomas on the eyes: What are they?

Syringomas are benign tumors of the eccrine glands. They are multiple foot-colored lesionsl, slightly raised, with a diameter of 1-5 mm. They are mainly located in the lower eyelids, neck, chest. They are more frequent in middle-aged women.

It is one of the most common eye conditions and appears on the eyelids (usually on the lower eyelid) or just below them. They usually appear in both eyes and symmetrically, especially in women and adolescents. They can rarely be found on the cheeks, armpits, trunk, nape, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, scalp and genitals.

Treatment of Syringomas with laser

In Hoogstra Medical Centers we use the Carbon dioxide laser for the extraction of syringomas. Dermabrasion or laser ablation is currently the most modern, effective and fast recovery treatment for this condition.

Rosacea

Hoogstra Medical Centers has the most advanced technology for the treatment of Rosacea. Depending on the type of Rosacea you have, you can carry out one of these treatments or combine them. Our team of Dermatologists will evaluate you and tell you what is the right technology to start your treatment.

Rosacea Treatment

Therapeutic 980nm Diode Laser:
Vascular effusions (spider veins): The most modern treatment today is laser therapy. The most widely used wavelengths for these vascular lesions are the 532nm, 980nm and 1,064 long pulse. The laser light passes through the skin without damaging it and discharges its energy into the hemoglobin of the blood vessel. This caloric effect causes damage to the vascular endothelium, this causes the collapse of the vessel and its disappearance.

The number of sessions depends on the size of the vascular lesion and the amount, generally 3 to 4 sessions are sufficient.Rosacea is an evolutionary disease that should not be confused with psoriasis

Radiofrequency with Micro needles

It is an innovative technology that helps regenerate the substances that are essential to keep skin tight and young. Its application is simple, painless, fast and does not harm the skin.

This contribution of technology resides in the application of electromagnetic radiation directly to the areas affected by rosacea and those that are not, but show signs of aging.

The radiofrequency with microneedles It produces a gradual heating on the skin, causing the blood vessels to close and acting on the existing collagen fibers, strengthening them and causing the formation of new collagen - an effect called collagen genesis -, causing skin contraction and reducing flaccidity. During the procedure a sensation of heat is perceived in the treated area, without becoming uncomfortable or painful. Although the skin may look red, it gradually disappears during the course of the day.

Radiofrequency with microneedles achieves the collapse of blood vessels, reduces erythema and produces a contraction of the skin (lifting effect), as it redefines the contour of the face, lifts the cheekbones and eyebrows, as well as the neck (jowl) and remodel the facial area.

The results are extraordinary from the first moment and are gradually increasing. It does not require anesthesia or a recovery period; inclusive, it is possible to sunbathe as long as the adequate protection is used.

The result is evident from the first session, when the contraction of the blood vessels and the stimulation of the existing collagen are immediately achieved. In a second stage this improvement will be accentuated, obtaining the maximum result around the first three months.

Recommended sessions: 1 every 15 or 30 days, for 4 or 5 months.

This treatment is performed by Dermatologists. You can start treatment at any of our centers. Dermatologists will evaluate you before the procedure and can clarify any questions you have. 

Microfocalized ultrasound: new method to reduce localized adiposities, tighten and rejuvenate the skin

Micro and Macro-Focused Ultrasound is an innovative system indicated for women and men today who want to improve their appearance without leaving daily activity.

It is an extremely effective treatment, often comparable to a facelift, but it does not leave scars, it does not take anesthesia or recovery time. It is a painless, quick and immediate recovery procedure that can be performed throughout the year to treat:

  • Express face and neck lift
  • Neckline wrinkles
  • Rosacea and Acne Acne Treatment
  • Reduction of localized fat
  • Skin tightening without scalpel

Unlike laser or surgical treatments, patients treated with microfocalized ultrasound can immediately continue their activity since it is a system that works in depth and does not affect the surface of the skin.

Ultrasound does not act on the surface of the skin like lasers do. With its exclusive multi-head system, it acts in the deep layers where collagen resides, in subcutaneous fatty tissue and in the muscular fascia system.

Microfocalized ultrasound produces results that can be observed immediately after the procedure is performed without skin damage and without recovery time. But the most significant results occur as time passes, reaching its maximum effect 60 days after the procedure.

The process involves creating new collagen, reducing localized fat, and tightening the skin.

It is indicated in:

  • Patients with mild-moderate aging.
  • Patients with a more important aging seeking a change not as significant as that produced by a facelift.
  • Patients with localized fat who want to improve without undergoing surgery.

Price of face-neck microfocused ultrasound treatment (HIFU):

The cost is USD 2500 (VAT NOT INCLUDED) face and neck (includes 4 sessions)

Sebaceous cysts

Sebaceous cysts often originate from inflammation of the hair follicles.

¿Qué son los Quistes Sebáceos?

Los quistes sebáceos son bultos benignos que se forman bajo la piel debido a la obstrucción y la inflamación de los folículos pilosos. Aunque generalmente no son peligrosos, pueden causar molestias estéticas y, en algunos casos, llegar a infectarse.

Cuadro Clínico de los Quistes Sebáceos

Los quistes sebáceos suelen localizarse en áreas como la cara, el cuello y el tronco. Sus características clínicas más comunes son:

  • Movilidad: Se mueven libremente bajo la piel.
  • Crecimiento: Crecen lentamente con el tiempo.
  • Pain: No suelen causar dolor a menos que se infecten.

Cuando un quiste sebáceo se infecta, puede presentar los siguientes signos y síntomas:

  • Enrojecimiento de la piel: La piel alrededor del quiste puede ponerse roja.
  • Pain: Puede haber dolor en la zona afectada.
  • Aumento de la temperatura local: La piel sobre el quiste puede sentirse más caliente al tacto.
  • Drenaje: Se puede observar la salida de un material blanco grisáceo y caseoso.

Treatment of Sebaceous Cysts with Laser

El tratamiento convencional para los quistes sebáceos ha sido la resección quirúrgica, que implica la eliminación del quiste junto con la piel circundante. Sin embargo, en Hoogstra Centros Médicos ofrecemos una alternativa innovadora y menos invasiva: el tratamiento con láser.

Ventajas del Tratamiento Láser

  • Menos Invasivo: No requiere cirugía extensa.
  • Sin Anestesia: Gracias a la alta velocidad de impacto del láser Lotus III, no es necesario aplicar anestesia local ni cremas anestésicas.
  • Procedimiento Rápido y Eficaz: Se realiza un pequeño orificio en la parte más protuberante del quiste para su drenaje, seguido de la aplicación del láser en modalidad pulso largo para contraer las paredes del saco del quiste.
  • Recuperación Inmediata: El paciente puede continuar con sus actividades cotidianas inmediatamente después del procedimiento.
  • Indoloro y Sin Cicatrices: Este tratamiento es completamente indoloro y no deja cicatrices visibles.

En Hoogstra Centros Médicos, nos enorgullecemos de utilizar tecnología avanzada para ofrecer a nuestros pacientes tratamientos efectivos y mínimamente invasivos para quistes sebáceos y forúnculos.

Testicular Vascular Lesions - Fordyce Angiokeratoma in Scrotum

Laser treatment in vascular lesions of the testicle and penis

Vascular dilation of testicular skin can be treated with a laser just like that of the rest of the body. Vascular lasers with wavelengths between 980 and 1,064 nm produce rapid and effective remission. The laser light is absorbed by hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin from the blood, so the vessels can be coagulated under the skin, without damaging it. Thus, the spider mite is “erased” gradually. Red polka dots or ruby nevi usually disappear with a single session. Spider veins and vascular lesions usually disappear in one or more sessions.

Xanthelasma

What is a xanthelasma?

An eyelid xanthelasma is a benign tumor or a deposit of fat and cholesterol, better known as cholesterol stress. It usually manifests around the eyelid near the internal (nasal) canthus. A yellowish looking plate and it usually appears on the upper and lower eyelids of both eyes.

Causes

This condition usually has an important genetic predisposition, although it is also true that it can manifest spontaneously in patients with lipid and cholesterol metabolism disorders. It is more common in adults and the elderly.

In summary, the most common causes are:

  • Hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and biliary cirrhosis.
  • Emotional: it has been suggested that they can appear when the patient has been under strong emotional stress.
  • On many occasions, the cause is unknown.

Xanthelasmas do not pose any health problem but they do have an aesthetic problem

Xanthelasma treatment

There are multiple forms of treatment. Surgery is generally the most common. However the Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra uses different types of lasers that avoid conventional surgery and promote recovery.

One of them is CO2 laser. This laser only works in the areas where it impacts and fully respects the surrounding tissues. This technology allows programming the depth at which the treatment reaches. This is why the CO2 laser is a device of high precision.

The treatment forms a small skin wound where the laser works, which will later heal with a scab that will come off after a couple of days. As the adjustable parameters allow to program in detail the part of skin that we want to remove, the number of sessions required to treat xanthelasma is usually reduced.
