Vascular Laser

Vascular laser treatment (also known as thermocoagulation or photoscleoris) is a clinically proven and safe treatment which improves the appearance of vascular skin conditions.

As we age, symptoms such as varicose veins, cherry angioma, facial vessels and telangiectasia (spider veins) become more likely due to changes in blood flow around the body. Vascular laser treatment can eliminate many of these conditions quickly and comfortably. Vascular laser treatment can also be used to treat acne.

Vascular laser therapy involves applying targeted laser or light pulses to the skin, the light then transforms into heat under the surface of the skin which dissolves blood vessels and other causes of visible skin conditions, without affecting surrounding areas.
