Vascular Laser

Vascular laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses targeted light energy, such as IPL, to reduce visible redness and enlarged blood vessels in the skin. The light is absorbed by hemoglobin within the vessels, generating controlled heat that causes them to collapse and gradually be reabsorbed by the body. This process helps improve conditions like rosacea, spider veins, and diffuse facial redness, resulting in clearer, more even-toned skin with minimal downtime.

What are vascular skin condition?

Vascular skin concerns occur when superficial blood vessels become more visible through the skin. This may result from vessel dilation, fragility, or reduced skin support over time.

Common vascular concerns include:

  • Rosacea

  • Telangiectasia (facial spider veins)

  • Cherry angiomas

  • Port-wine stains

  • Poikiloderma of Civatte

  • Diffuse facial redness

These conditions may affect skin tone, comfort, and overall skin clarity.

why does facial redness occur?

Facial redness occurs when superficial blood vessels become:

    • Dilated or widened

    • Fragile and prone to expansion

    • Overactive in response to triggers

    • More visible due to thinning skin

Several factors may contribute to vascular skin concerns, including:

    • Genetic predisposition

    • Chronic sun exposure

    • Natural skin ageing

    • Hormonal changes

    • Skin inflammation or trauma

Certain lifestyle triggers may temporarily worsen redness, particularly in rosacea-prone skin. Common triggers include:

    • Spicy food

    • Hot drink

    • Heat exposure

    • Emotional stress

These triggers increase blood flow to the skin, making redness more noticeable.

Where Do Vascular Lesions Occur in the Skin?

Vascular lesions primarily develop in the dermis, the deeper skin layer that contains blood vessels, collagen, and connective tissue.

    • The epidermis (outer skin layer) does not contain blood vessels

    • The dermis contains capillaries targeted during vascular laser treatments

Effective treatment must selectively target abnormal vessels while preserving surrounding skin tissue.

How IPL Vascular Treatment Works?

At J Medical Aesthetics, vascular concerns are commonly treated using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology.
IPL works by delivering specific wavelengths of light absorbed by hemoglobin, the red pigment within blood vessels.

Treatment Process:

    1. Light energy is delivered into the skin

    2. Hemoglobin absorbs the light energy

    3. Energy converts into controlled heat

    4. Heat causes targeted vessels to collapse and seal

    5. The body gradually removes treated vessels over time

This process helps reduce visible redness while improving overall skin tone and clarity.

What Skin Concerns Can IPL Vascular Treatment Improve?

IPL vascular treatments are commonly used to treat:

  • Diffuse facial redness

  • Mild to moderate rosacea

  • Facial spider veins (telangiectasia)

  • Cherry angiomas

  • Sun-induced redness

  • Poikiloderma of Civatte

Treatment supports clearer, more balanced-looking skin while improving vascular stability.

Vascular skin conditions typically require a treatment course for optimal improvement.

Typical Treatment Plan:

    • 3 to 6 treatment sessions

    • Sessions spaced approximately 3–4 weeks apart

    • Maintenance treatments may be recommended for chronic conditions such as rosacea

Results improve gradually as the body clears treated blood vessels.

IPL vascular treatment generally involves minimal downtime. Temporary post-treatment effects may include:

  • Mild redness

  • Slight swelling

  • Temporary warmth

  • Darkening of treated vessels before fading

Most patients resume normal activities immediately following treatment.

When performed by trained professionals, IPL vascular treatment is considered safe and well-tolerated.

Treatment is:

    • Non-invasive

    • Customisable based on skin type and condition

    • Associated with minimal recovery time

A professional consultation is essential to assess treatment suitability, particularly for darker skin tones or complex vascular lesions.

Proper aftercare helps support treatment results and minimise flare-ups. Recommended care includes:

    • Avoid known rosacea triggers such as heat, alcohol, and spicy foods

    • Use daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen

    • Follow professional skincare recommendations

    • Avoid excessive heat exposure for several days

Long-term management is particularly important for chronic vascular conditions.
