What is vascular laser
Vascular laser is a technology that uses light energy to target visible blood vessels in the skin.
Light is absorbed by hemoglobin, which leads to:
- heating the vessel
- coagulating it
- gradual disappearance of the lesion
What is it used for
Vascular laser is used for:
- broken capillary vessels (telangiectasia)
- facial redness (rosacea)
- couperose
- fine veins on the legs
- hemangiomas
How the procedure works
- laser energy is directed toward the blood vessels
- they are "closed" without affecting surrounding tissue
- the body gradually eliminates them
The procedure is precise and controlled.
How the treatment progresses
The procedure lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the treated area.
Steps:
- Skin cleansing
- Eye protection
- Laser application to the affected area
- Application of soothing gel (optional)
It does not require anesthesia in most cases.
When results appear
- some vessels disappear immediately
- some fade over several weeks
- multiple sessions may be necessary
