Vascular Lesions (Face/Body)

Safely clears away prominent capillaries, cherry angiomas, and vascular birthmarks.

Long-pulse Nd:YAG laser energy targetedly penetrates the skin, where it is preferentially absorbed by the red hemoglobin inside problematic blood vessels. The laser heat causes the vessel walls to collapse and seal shut. The body then naturally resorbs the treated vessels over the following weeks.

TREATMENT DURATION

20-30 Mins

DOWN TIME

Minimal (Mild redness and slight swelling for 24–48 hours; veins may temporarily darken before disappearing)

RECOMMENDED SERIES

2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Often compared to a quick snap of a hot rubber band. Cooling air is applied concurrently to protect the skin surface.

PRE-TREATMENT

Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils, or blood-thinning supplements for 5 days prior (with medical approval) to minimize bruising.


Avoid self-tanning products or direct sun exposure for 4 weeks.

AFTER CARE

Apply cold compresses or cool gel packs to the area to soothe any heat sensation.

Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous, flushing exercise for 48 hours.


Do not rub, scrub, or apply harsh alcohol-based toners to the area.
