What Is a Vascular Laser?

Vascular lasers use light to target and destroy unwanted capillaries and blood vessels of the skin. The laser wavelength is chosen to selectively target the abnormal blood vessels only, sparing the surrounding normal skin structures. When used properly by trained practitioners, the procedure is extremely safe and effective.

The 1,064-nm Nd:YAG LASER is the gold standard in the treatment of vascular lesions of different sizes and depths. LongPulse® revolutionizes technology because it combines, in a single handpiece, short and long pulses, high energy dose and multiple spot sizes, thus offering an even more complete therapeutic approach: from rejuvenation and facial vascular lesions to deep vascular lesions and up to 4 mm thick.

The Long pulse Nd:YAG is an extremely versatile system allowing treatment of a wide range of vascular conditions on all skin types.


How Does Vascular Laser Work?

Vascular lasers work by delivering specific light energy that coagulates the blood within the vessel, causing the ‘broken’ capillaries to shut down and be reabsorbed by the body.

Laser light energy targets and damages these blood vessels to make them less visible on the skin surface. The procedure involves short bursts of laser light damaging vessel walls. The damage to the vessel walls causes them to break down, and thus, become less noticeable or even invisible. Areas around the blood vessels are unharmed.
