How does vascular laser work?
Vascular laser treatment is a non-invasive solution that has revolutionized the way we treat a variety of skin problems related to blood vessels. This cutting-edge technology uses the precision of the laser to specifically target blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface, enabling problems to be treated effectively without causing damage to the tissue surrounding the lesions.
Vascular laser treatment is based on the principle of selective photo-coagulation. The laser emits light that is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels. This absorption causes coagulation of the vessel, which is then eliminated by the body, without affecting the tissues surrounding the lesion. Depending on the type of lesion to be treated, different laser treatment technologies can be used. Each technology is designed to specifically target certain lesions, ensuring effective, personalized treatment.
What skin conditions are treated?
- Varicosities: these small veins, often visible on the legs and face, can be reduced or eliminated with vascular laser treatment. The laser targets specific veins, causing them to coagulate and subsequently be eliminated by the body.
- Couperose: this condition, characterized by redness and visible blood vessels on the face, can be effectively treated with vascular laser therapy. Laser treatment can reduce the appearance of blood vessels and reduce redness.
- Angiomas: these small, benign tumors made up of blood vessels can appear anywhere on the body. Vascular laser treatment can be used to reduce or eliminate angiomas, including stellate angiomas and wine stains.
- Other skin conditions: vascular laser treatment can also be used to treat other blood vessel-related skin problems, including some forms of vascular birthmarks and rosacea.

- Non-invasive: No incision, no anesthesia, rapid recovery
- Fast: 20-30 minute sessions
- Lasting results: Natural elimination of treated vessels
- Tailor-made: laser technologies customized for each patient
- Safe: Mild and temporary side effects

Frequently asked questions
Is vascular laser treatment painful?
Most patients describe a tingling sensation or slight warmth during treatment. However, pain is usually minimal and short-lived.
How long does a vascular laser treatment session last?

You can resume your normal activities immediately. In some cases, maintenance sessions may be required to maintain results. Vascular laser treatment is best performed from October to April.

The result
After a vascular laser procedure, your skin will regain a smoother, more even appearance. Spider veins, angiomas, rosacea or other vascular lesions will be significantly reduced, or even completely eliminated, depending on the area treated and the depth of the vessels. Redness will gradually fade, leaving your complexion brighter and more even.
Results are visible from the very first weeks, and continue to improve over time, thanks in particular to the body’s natural elimination of coagulated vessels. Depending on the nature of the lesions, several sessions may be required for optimal, lasting results.
