Laser vascular treatment uses lasers to eliminate visible blood vessels on the superficial layers of the skin.
Lasers and intense pulse light (IPL) are routinely used to treat many vascular conditions, including hemangioma, telangiectasia, and spider nevi.
A laser vascular treatment may be required for individuals who have red vascular lesions in various parts of the body.
It effectively treats facial lesions like telangiectasis, erythema and cherry angioma.
This procedure effectively treats:
At Hortman Clinics, we use the following advanced laser machines for Vascular Treatment:
Fotona SP Dynamis is one of the most widely used lasers for treating vascular conditions. This device Nd: YAG wavelength of energy that penetrates deep into the skin and selectively targets haemoglobin within blood vessels to cause controlled thermal coagulation, resulting in vessel collapse. The Fotona SP Dynamis is used for facial veins, spider veins, and deeper vascular lesions.
The BBL uses IPL-based technology that targets oxyhemoglobin in superficial vessels with filtered light pulses. For this reason, the BBL energy-based treatment is effective for rosacea, diffuse redness, and superficial telangiectasia.
This is a gentle Nd: YAG laser that reduces redness caused by vascular conditions by heating superficial vessels and stimulating collagen remodelling in the deeper skin layers. The ClearSilk laser is used for rosacea-related flushing and mild erythema.
This laser combines the mechanisms of a Q-switched and a picosecond laser, delivering pulses that target superficial vascular lesions at specific settings. The StarWalker is primarily used for pigmentation, but can help reduce fine vascular markings.
The HALO is primarily a resurfacing laser that is used for texture and pigmentation. However, it may help reduce mild redness by causing dermal collagen remodelling.
Laser vascular treatments use a laser that can penetrate the skin and generate heat energy. This heat energy is absorbed by haemoglobin in the affected blood cells.
The heat is absorbed by the blood in the veins, causing them to heat up and collapse.
After a few sessions, the vascular lesions begin to reduce in size and eventually disappear.
During a laser vascular treatment,
There are several benefits of undergoing a laser vascular treatment!
Laser vascular treatments are largely safe but may cause a few side effects in some individuals:
If you have varicose veins or are diagnosed with telangiectasis, hemangioma or other vascular diseases, we recommend consulting our healthcare expert. Besides identifying the root cause of your concern, they will guide you throughout your treatment journey.
While you prepare for your laser vascular treatment procedure at Hortman Clinics, here are a few things to avoid:
The results of laser vascular treatment are permanent.
You may experience mild pain and discomfort during and after the procedure. Topical anaesthetics may be applied to make the procedure comfortable.
You may notice that the spider veins worsen after the procedure. However, they will improve in a few days.
The healing time after laser vascular treatment depends upon the size and location of the area. Some patients may experience redness or swelling for a few days after the procedure. Complete recovery following a vascular laser treatment may take 1 to 2 weeks.
Depending on the treated area, the full effect of the treatment may take one to two months. For optimal results, we recommend a series of laser treatments.
Laser ablation treats the root cause of varicose veins, so the risk of recurring them is negligible. However, you must remember that you may still develop new ones.
If you have recently undergone a laser vascular treatment or are scheduled to have one, here are a few things you must avoid:
