Vascular & pigment laser

Targeted laser for broken capillaries, redness and stubborn pigment spots.

Confirmed at your assessment

Often one or two sessions are enough, though this depends on the number, colour and size of the vessels being treated.

What it is

Targeted laser treatment for broken capillaries, small facial veins, redness and stubborn pigment spots. Pulses of light energy are absorbed by the vessel or pigment; treated veins coagulate and are gradually reabsorbed by the body, while brown spots are broken down. The Cutera Vascular Laser suits all skin colours and treats vessels up to around 3mm wide.

Who it suits

For men and women bothered by facial veins, nose veins, spider naevi, diffuse redness or stubborn brown pigment spots. Often combined with Limelight IPL and Laser Genesis

Benefits and results

  • Treats facial and small leg veins, redness and pigment
  • A lower-risk alternative to injection therapy
  • Suitable for all skin colours
  • Walk-in, walk-out with well-managed comfort

What to expect

A quick walk-in, walk-out treatment, often around 15 minutes for veins. Most feel a brief stinging sensation, eased by the cooled handpiece, with topical anaesthetic or full pain management available. Mild redness or swelling usually settles within 24 hours.

Common questions

How does vein treatment work?+

Pulses of light energy cause the blood in the vein to coagulate. The vessel is gradually reabsorbed by your body and blood flow redirects to healthier veins deeper below the surface.

When will I see results?+

Most see clear improvement within two to six weeks, with final results developing over several months. New veins can appear over time and can be treated again.

What about larger or varicose veins?+

We can assess your situation and, if a different approach suits you better, refer you to a clinic set up for larger or varicose veins.
