About This Treatment

What Is Vascular Laser Treatment?

Vascular laser treatment uses targeted light energy that is specifically absorbed by hemoglobin (the red pigment in blood). When the laser energy is absorbed, it heats and damages the walls of the targeted blood vessels, causing them to collapse and seal shut. Over the following weeks, the body naturally absorbs the treated vessels and they fade from view. The surrounding skin and tissue remain unharmed.

Also known as: spider vein treatment, broken capillary treatment, vein removal laser, cherry angioma removal, facial vein treatment, leg vein laser, rosacea laser, Nd:YAG vascular laser

The Process

How Does It Work?

1

Consultation

Assessment of your vascular concerns and determination of the best laser approach for your specific vessels.

2

Treatment

The laser is precisely targeted at visible vessels. You'll feel a warm snapping sensation with each pulse.

3

Post-Treatment

Treated vessels may appear darker initially. Some bruising is possible. The area may feel warm for a few hours.

4

Results

Vessels gradually fade over 2-6 weeks as the body absorbs them. Multiple sessions may be needed for complete clearance.
