How it Works

Both IPL and Nd:YAG lasers treat blood vessels using selective photothermolysis. IPL delivers a broad range of light wavelengths to target hemoglobin, while Nd:YAG focuses on a single wavelength for depth and precision. As hemoglobin absorbs the light energy, the heat damages the blood vessel walls, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, resulting in clearer skin. Multiple sessions are usually required, with noticeable improvement after each treatment. The number of sessions depends on the size, type, and severity of the lesions.

    Spider Vein Removal FAQ

    Are IPL or laser treatments effective for facial spider vein removal?

    Yes, both IPL and laser treatments can be effective for reducing the appearance of spider veins and other vascular lesions on the face.

    Is IPL or laser better for treating vascular lesions?

    Whether IPL or laser is used will depend upon your skin type and the type and number of spider veins or other vascular lesions.

    How many IPL or laser sessions are needed to treat spider veins?

    The number of sessions varies but often requires multiple treatments, typically spaced a few weeks apart for best results.

    Does IPL or laser treatment hurt when used on spider veins?

    There may be some discomfort, often described as a snapping or stinging sensation, but the treatment is relatively quick and most people tolerate it well.

    Are there any side effects of IPL or laser treatment for spider veins?

    Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, and mild bruising, but they usually subside within a few days.

    More FAQ

    Can IPL or laser treatment be used for vascular lesions other than spider veins?

    Yes, IPL and laser treatments can also address other vascular lesions like broken capillaries, venous lakes, cherry angiomas, and rosacea-related redness.

    How long do the results of IPL or laser treatment for vascular lesions last?

    Results can be long-lasting, but maintenance sessions may be needed periodically to sustain the effects, especially if you have Rosacea or are prone to developing new vascular lesions.

    Are IPL and laser treatments safe for all skin types?

    IPL and laser treatments are generally safe for a wide range of skin types, but it’s crucial to consult with our medical aesthetician to assess your skin and discuss potential risks.

    Can IPL or laser treatment completely remove spider veins and vascular lesions?

    While these treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of vascular lesions, complete removal may not always be achievable, and results can vary from person to person.

    Is there any downtime after IPL or laser treatment for vascular lesions?

    There is usually minimal downtime. Most people are able to resume normal activities immediately or shortly after the procedure, though we do advise the avoidance of cardiovascular exercise for several days as increased blood pressure may result in refilling of collapsed veins.

    How do IPL and laser treatments for vascular lesions compare in terms of effectiveness?

    Both IPL and laser treatments can be effective, but treatment choice depends on skin type and the type of vascular lesions being treated.
