What Is a Vascular Laser Treatment?
Vascular laser treatment is a highly effective skin therapy that targets unwanted blood vessels in your skin.
By using specific wavelengths of laser light, we can safely reduce the appearance of vascular lesions such as facial veins, spider veins, and port-wine stains. This results in a clearer complexion and improved skin texture.
Technology and Methods
At Everyderm, we utilize cutting-edge laser technology to address a variety of vascular conditions.
Intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) and laser technology both use light energy to target unwanted capillaries, red veins, broken veins (also called spider veins) and many more vascular conditions.
At Everyderm we use both lasers and broadband light to give you the best results.
NdYAG Laser
Our 1064nm NdYAG laser is versatile and ideal for several treatments, from facial thread veins to blue veins in body areas.
When used for laser facials (Laser Genesis), thousands of rapid, painless pulses penetrate deep into your skin at short pulse durations of 0.3 milliseconds. This stimulates collagen production and targets tiny blood vessels, effectively reducing redness and improving skin texture.
For larger broken veins and telangiectasias, including leg veins, reticular veins, and periocular veins (blue veins around the eyes), the NdYAG laser is highly effective. Its longer wavelength penetrates deeper into the tissues, reaching areas that IPL cannot.
V Beam Pulsed-Dye Laser
Available at our Dundrum clinic, the 595nm V Beam laser is a dedicated vascular laser designed specifically for vascular conditions.
It effectively treats:
- Facial redness
- Rosacea
- Broken veins
- Acne
- Cherry angiomas
- Venous lakes
- Port wine stains.
V Beam is also an effective treatment for clearing bruising after injectable treatments.
Complementary Treatments
Our BBL (BroadBand Light) therapy complements vascular laser treatments by further reducing redness and enhancing your results when a synergistic approach is beneficial. The intense pulsed light source from BBL is one of the most powerful and effective in the world.
Skin Conditions Treated
We effectively address various vascular skin concerns, including:
Facial veins and thread veins
Rosacea
Broken capillaries
Port-wine stains
Venous lakes
Spider veins on legs
Redness and flushing.
Benefits for Your Skin
Our vascular laser treatments provide a marked improvement in vascular conditions with minimal downtime.
By targeting vascular lesions precisely, we protect the surrounding tissue while treating unwanted vessels. The treatments stimulate collagen production to enhance your skin texture and reduce signs of aging.
We customize treatments for various skin types to meet your individual needs. This includes the combination of lasers with skin boosters like polynucleotides that help remove free radical damage and rejuvenate the skin.
Risks, Side Effects, and After-Effects
Vascular laser treatments are generally safe with minimal risks.
You may experience some redness and swelling in the treated areas, similar to “cat scratches,” which typically subside within a few days.
Bruising, known as purpura, can occur, especially after treating larger veins or using settings for birthmarks like port-wine stains. These purple circular bruises fade over several days.
During the procedure, you might feel a slight sting or warmth, but our aestheticians and nurses provide excellent aftercare and advice to minimise any discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery.
The procedure
Your journey begins with a consultation and skin imaging, where we assess your vascular skin concerns to determine the most suitable laser therapy.
Before the treatment, we cleanse the area and may apply a thin layer of cooling gel. During the laser treatment, the NdYAG laser delivers energy pulses deep into your skin to target blood vessels, or the V Beam laser uses pulsed-dye laser technology to treat vascular lesions effectively.
We may use cool air or ice packs to enhance your comfort during the procedure. Afterwards, we apply soothing aloe vera gel or antioxidant vitamin serums to your skin.
Preparation
To prepare for your treatment, we advise you to avoid excessive sun exposure before the procedure to reduce the risk of adverse reactions. Please discontinue the use of retinoids or harsh exfoliants a few days prior. Inform us of any medications or medical conditions so we can tailor the treatment to your needs.
Recovery time and after-care
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, as there is minimal downtime. We recommend applying sunscreen to protect the treated area from sun damage and using gentle skincare products as we recommend.
Avoid hot and cold extremes to prevent irritation. Any redness, swelling, or bruising will typically resolve within a few days, and we’ll provide you with aftercare advice to ensure a smooth recovery.
Recommended Frequency
Depending on the severity of your condition, several treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart may be necessary for optimal results. We may also recommend periodic maintenance treatments to maintain your improvements over time.
