What Are Veins and Vascular Lesions?

‍

Veins and vascular lesions refer to visible blood vessels or discoloration that can appear on the skin due to weakened or damaged capillaries. Common concerns include spider veins, thread veins, broken capillaries, rosacea-related redness, port-wine stains, and facial telangiectasia. While these conditions are generally harmless, they can affect the overall appearance of the skin and may cause cosmetic concern for many patients. Advanced laser technology allows for safe, targeted treatment to reduce or eliminate visible vessels without invasive procedures.

Treatment Overview

‍

Treatment of veins and vascular lesions is typically performed using the Finebeam Dual Nd:YAG laser in longpulsed mode. This laser delivers controlled bursts of energy that are selectively absorbed by hemoglobin within the blood vessels, causing the targeted vessels to heat, collapse, and be naturally reabsorbed by the body over time.

‍

The long-pulsed Nd:YAG technology allows for precise targeting of deeper and larger vessels while minimizing damage to surrounding skin. Energy levels and pulse durations can be adjusted to treat a variety of vascular conditions, making the procedure highly versatile and safe for all skin types.

Most patients require multiple sessions depending on the size, depth, and number of vessels being treated. Results are gradual, with vessels fading over several weeks as the body naturally clears the treated vessels.
