Vascular Therapy
Vascular therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production, resulting in the natural disappearance of vessels.
Involves targeting the blood supply within a dilated capillary using laser energy. The laser’s heat collapses the capillary wall, causing vessel closure. The body then naturally eliminates the capillary vessel through the lymphatic system. Our Vascular Lesion Removal service specifically addresses broken capillaries and spider veins.
Your vascular therapy questions answered:
How do I prepare for appointment?
It is crucial to avoid sunbathing and tanning beds throughout the entire course of laser treatments. A minimum of four weeks must have passed since your last sunbathing or tanning bed session. This rule also applies to any tanning creams, medications, or injections. Prior to your first session, we will schedule free consultation during which a patch test will be conducted. Please arrive at your consultation without makeup or fragrance.
What areas can be treated with Capillary Reduction treatment?
The Vascular therapy treatment can be performed on your face or body.
Will Capillary Reduction provide permanent results?
The treated vascular lesion will not return if you follow the recommended aftercare directions and correctly maintain the treatment area
My spider veins are blue-green in colour. Can I still have this treatment done?
No – this treatment is not effective for individuals with blue or green spider veins. Our treatment is suitable for red and purple spider veins. We recommend you seek medical advice from a vein specialist.
Does this treatment hurt?
The level of pain tolerance varies from person to person. During the treatment, a warming sensation may be felt in the treatment area, which typically subsides after the treatment is completed.
I have Rosacea, can I have this treatment done?
Yes, both Laser Flushing and Vascular Lesion Removal do reduce facial redness and broken capillaries which is common for individuals with Rosacea.
