Vascular lasers selectively target unwanted or abnormal blood vessels in the skin, whilst minimising damage to surrounding normal skin structures. Vascular lasers can be used to treat the following conditions:
1.Port wine stain birthmarks
2.Broken capillaries or telangiectases
3.Redness of the face and neck
4.Rosacea
5.Spider naevi
6.Cherry angiomas
7.Infantile haemangiomas
8.Venous lakes
9.Some leg veins
10.Early scars
11.Red stretch marks
12.Warts

Modern vascular lasers are very safe and effective when used by professionally trained staff. They are generally more effective on the face than on other areas of the body, and multiple treatments are often required to achieve the best results. Results may vary from person to person.

How does the treatment work?

Light energy is applied to the skin where it is readily absorbed by blood vessels, heating them to a point where they are destroyed. Following treatment, the vessels quickly clear as they are reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.

Which types of veins can be treated?

Most red skin lesions, including facial thread veins, rosacea, spider naevi, and port wine stains, can be treated very successfully. Depending on the lesions, leg vessels can also respond well to treatment.

Am I suitable for treatment?

Treatment is suitable for most people. Best results are obtained for those with fair skin, and there is less chance of side effects.

Are there any side effects?

After treatment the area may feel warm for a few hours. Rarely, some delicate skin areas such as the cheeks or décolleté can be red and slightly swollen for up to 48 hours. Though very rare, there is a chance a small blister may form and there could be temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.

How many treatments are necessary?

Typically 3 to 5 treatments are needed for optimum results, though small lesions may clear in just a single session. Repeat treatments are spaced every 4 to 6 weeks.
