Quiet the redness. Erase the tiny vessels.

Overview
What facial vein & redness laser does, in plain language.
Vascular laser uses a wavelength of light preferentially absorbed by the pigment in blood. Targeted vessels heat, collapse, and are cleared quietly by the body over the following weeks.
It's the treatment for the small, visible capillaries around the nose and cheeks, for diffuse rosacea-related redness, and for individual broken vessels anywhere on the face.
Comfort has improved dramatically with modern cooling. Most patients describe brief snaps, like a rubber band, with cool air blowing throughout.
A consultation determines whether this treatment is right for you — every plan begins with a conversation and a physician assessment.
What it treats
- —Broken capillaries (telangiectasias) around the nose and cheeks

The visit
In the chair.
- Duration
- About 20 minutes for a targeted zone.
- Comfort
- Contact cooling makes numbing rarely necessary.
- What it feels like
- Protective eyewear on; the laser passes over the treatment area in short pulses. You'll notice a warm flush and, for larger vessels, a temporary darkening as they clear.
Results & downtime
Honest timelines.
- When results appear
- Immediate improvement in many vessels; final result at 4–6 weeks.
- How long they last
- Long-lasting, though the underlying tendency (e.g., rosacea) may prompt new vessels over time.
- Downtime
- Redness and mild swelling for a few hours to a day; larger vessels may darken briefly before fading.
- Sessions
- 1–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for most patients.
Aftercare
Simple steps that protect the result.
- —Broad-spectrum SPF every day — sun quickly undoes vascular results.
- —Skip active skincare (retinoids, acids) for 3–5 days.
- —Avoid saunas, hot yoga, and alcohol for 24 hours to keep flushing down.
- —A cool compress helps if there's any warmth or swelling.
