Don’t let visible veins or redness keep you from loving your skin. Schedule your consultation and let’s restore your confidence, one pulse at a time.
Vascular Laser Therapy targets and treats visible blood vessels just below the skin’s surface using the advanced Spectrum Long Pulsed YAG Laser. This non-invasive treatment delivers concentrated energy into the vessel, causing it to gently collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body—while leaving the surrounding skin intact for precise, tissue-sparing results. FDA-cleared and highly effective, this laser is ideal for addressing spider veins on the face and legs, telangiectasia (broken capillaries), facial redness often linked to rosacea, and cherry angiomas. Most sessions are quick, comfortable, and deliver noticeable improvements in just a few treatments.
The Long Pulsed YAG Laser penetrates deeper layers of skin to reach and treat vascular lesions at the source. Its precision ensures safe, effective results with minimal risk to the surrounding skin.
No incisions, needles, or extended recovery time. The treatment is non-surgical and generally well tolerated. We can also use cooling technology to keep you comfortable throughout the process.
Each session takes just 15–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. You may experience mild redness or warmth afterward, but most clients return to daily activities immediately.
Yes, this laser is effective on a range of skin tones. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and tailor the treatment accordingly for safe and optimal results.
You may feel a quick snap or warmth during treatment similar to a rubber band snap. Most people find it very tolerable, especially with the help of integrated cooling or topical numbing when needed.
The Spectrum Long Pulsed YAG Laser is safe for use on the face, legs, chest, and other common areas where vascular lesions appear.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and certain skincare products for at least 2 weeks before your session. Arrive with clean, product-free skin. Your provider will offer a full list of pre-treatment guidelines.
Most clients see noticeable improvement after 1–3 treatments. The exact number depends on the size, depth, and location of the vascular lesion. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
You might notice mild redness, warmth, or swelling in the treated area. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. Visible improvement often begins within a week, with continued results over time.
Treated veins are effectively removed, but new ones can appear over time especially if you have an underlying condition or genetic predisposition. Maintenance treatments and proper skin care can help prevent recurrence.
