About Vascular Laser

Vascular laser technology is a cosmetic procedure that uses targeted light energy to address the appearance of visible vessels on the skin’s surface. This may include small capillaries or other vascular irregularities that contribute to uneven skin tone. Experiences vary, and not all concerns are suitable for this treatment.

What Can Vascular Laser Address?

Vascular laser procedures may help improve the visible appearance of:

small surface blood vessels (telangiectasia)
spider veins
cherry angiomas
general redness or flushing in the skin*

*Suitability depends on individual assessment. Conditions such as rosacea or acne are medical in nature and should be discussed with a medical professional.

Important Information

Temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity are common after treatment.
Less common risks, such as pigment changes or scarring, will be explained during consultation.
