Laser and light
Vascular treatment
Targeted treatment for visible facial vessels and persistent redness.
Overview
Small visible vessels and diffuse redness can be treated with laser energy absorbed by blood vessels.
Treatment is precise and usually quick, with results assessed a few weeks later.
Underlying causes of redness are reviewed too, since skincare and triggers matter.
