LASER TREATMENTS

Red & Blue Vein Removal

Red & Blue Vein Removal is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce the appearance of spider veins, broken capillaries, cherry angiomas, rosacea and visible veins commonly found on the face and legs. At the heart of the treatment is a Nd:YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet) laser that emits a longer wavelength of light. This light penetrates deeper into the skin, targeting red or blue-toned pigment in blood vessels. The heat generated causes those vessels to break down and dissolve naturally through your body’s immune system.

Treatment Information

What are the benefits of red & blue vein removal?
 

This treatment offers visible improvements for skin clarity, tone and comfort:

  • Reduces the appearance of thread veins, spider veins, broken capillaries and cherry angiomas for a clearer complexion
  • Treats both red and blue-toned vessels thanks to the longer wavelength and deeper penetration of the Nd:YAG laser
  • Minimises flushing or redness associated with rosacea by targeting dilated or visible vessels
  • Improves confidence - clients feel more comfortable in lighter clothing, no longer concealing visible veins
  • Quick sessions and minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for face and leg areas
How many treatments will I need and how long will it take to see results?
 

Depending on the area, the size and number of visible veins and your skin type, you may need multiple sessions. During your consultation we will assess your pattern of veins and create a tailored plan.

  • Many clients see reduction in visible vessels after one session, though a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart may achieve the best result.
  • Visible reduction often appears within days for smaller vessels; fuller clearance may continue over several weeks as the body absorbs the treated vessels.
  • Your practitioner will monitor progress and schedule follow-up sessions if required.
Is it safe and suitable for all skin types?
 

Yes. The Nd:YAG laser’s longer wavelength makes it safe and effective for a broad range of skin tones, including darker skin types that other lasers may not suit. Your practitioner will check for medical conditions, skin sensitivity or any history of pigmentation to ensure the treatment is personalised and safe.

Precautions may include avoiding sun exposure before and after treatment and assessing any underlying vascular conditions.

What is the downtime or aftercare?
 

Downtime is minimal. Immediately after treatment you may experience:

  • Mild redness or warmth in the treated area
  • Temporary darkening of the treated vessel, which typically fades as the body absorbs it
  • A light sensation of heat or a rubbing feeling

Most effects fade within a few hours to a day. The skin looks refreshed and you can resume normal activity soon after treatment. Your clinician will provide aftercare guidance such as avoiding intense heat, sun exposure and harsh skincare immediately after.

Can red & blue vein removal be combined with other treatments?
 

Yes. This treatment can be part of a comprehensive skin-refinement plan. It pairs well with:

  • Skin rejuvenation treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels or lasers that improve texture, while this treatment focuses on vascular clarity
  • Skin-tightening or contouring sessions if leg or body vessels are being treated and you also want surface tightening
  • Ongoing maintenance protocols for rosacea or visible vein recurrence, where periodic vascular treatments are combined with anti-flush skincare

Your practitioner will design a plan that aligns with your overall skin concerns, vascular pattern and desired outcome.
