Aesthetic clinics, dermatology practices, laser clinics, and skin clinics use the V980 wherever clients come in for small vascular marks and surface blemishes. Nubway's indications include facial spider veins, vascular lesions on the body, cherry angiomas, skin tags, milia, warts, and pigment spots, so one console covers both vessel work and the blemish list.
Facial thread veins (telangiectasia: dilated small vessels that show as fine red or purple lines) gather around the nose, cheeks and chin, and they make up much of the vascular caseload. Cherry angiomas, the raised bright red spots made of tightly packed capillaries, often appear on the torso and arms. Surface work ranges from skin tags at the neckline and armpits to milia beneath the eyes, warts, and flat pigment such as freckles, age spots and sun spots.
In practice, the operator is usually an aesthetic doctor, nurse or laser practitioner. Each lesion starts with the indicator beam: the operator lays the 635 nm marker on the target, picks a spot size to fit it, then chooses a steady beam or pulses at a set rate. Heat goes where the spot is placed, which suits brief bookings built around a handful of marks. A single session can move from a thread vein on the cheek to a skin tag on the neck by changing spot size and mode. Because the console is portable and travels in its own aluminium case, a group with several treatment rooms or clinics can take it to wherever the day's vascular list is booked.
