Removing vascular changes
Blood vessel is the tissue to be removed in case of vascular changes. Light energy is absorbed by blood’s red pigment – the hemoglobin and is changed into heat, raising blood temperature. Once the blood reaches appropriately hot temperatures, it coagulates and destroys vessel’s wall, which after some time is expelled by the organism.
