What Is Laser Vein & Capillaries Treatment?

Laser treatments are now a routine procedure for the removal of many types of vascular lesions, including hemangiomas, vascular malformations such as port-wine stains, telangiectasias, venous lakes and angiomas.

How Does Laser Vein & Capillaries Treatment Work?

Lasers for vascular lesions, like broken capillaries, work by suddenly heating the blood inside of the vessels, leading to inflammation and scarring within the blood vessel that eventually causes them to fade away over the course of 4-6 weeks.

​

At Rita Medical Elite we offer long-pulse Nd:YAG lasers. Because they offer the perfect solution for treating vascular lesions. Fotona’s long-pulse Nd:YAG lasers penetrate to a depth of 5-6 mm into the skin, allowing for highly effective treatments. Independent research shows that over 75% of patients with deep hemangiomas that are treated with Nd:YAG lasers see a dramatic regression in the lesion.

The treatment is not painful. It just feels like a rubber band lightly snapping your skin a few times. No anesthetic is required.
