Treatment overview
Facial redness and visible capillaries are often more than an aesthetic concern — they can affect one’s everyday sense of confidence in one’s own skin. This treatment offers a targeted, medically precise solution that acts directly on the cause of the problem, rather than merely on its surface manifestation.
Selective laser energy is used to identify haemoglobin within dilated blood vessels, gradually causing them to close and the redness to recede.
It is worth noting that vascular laser treatments are today among the most precise in dermatology, precisely because they act selectively — targeting blood vessels exclusively whilst preserving the surrounding tissue to the greatest possible extent. It is this precision that delivers safe and reliable results, even in the delicate facial region.
How is the treatment performed?
The treatment is performed using targeted light or laser energy that penetrates the skin and acts directly on dilated capillaries.
During the treatment:
- energy is absorbed by the blood vessels
- the vessels are gradually closed
- the body naturally eliminates them over time
The procedure is swift, controlled, and adapted to skin sensitivity, with a high degree of precision.
Who is the treatment for?
The treatment is ideal for individuals who:
- experience persistent or intermittent facial redness
- notice visible capillaries (nose, cheeks, chin)
- have sensitive and reactive skin
- wish for a more even and calmer skin tone
It is frequently the first choice for early signs of rosacea or a pronounced tendency towards redness.
Our approach
When it comes to treating redness, the difference lies not only in the technology — but in the understanding of the skin.
At our clinic, every treatment is planned by a specialist dermatologist with experience in a clinical setting. We analyse skin type, the cause and depth of the changes, and on that basis select the optimal technology and parameters.
We do not follow generic protocols. Each patient is approached individually, with sufficient time devoted to understanding both the skin condition and their expectations.
It is precisely this combination of knowledge, experience, and dedication that delivers what matters most to our patients — the confidence of knowing they are in the right hands.
Preparing for the treatment
Prior to the treatment, it is recommended to:
- avoid sun exposure and sunbeds for at least 2 weeks beforehand
- refrain from using harsh skincare products in the days leading up to the treatment
- arrive with clean skin, free of make-up
Anaesthetic cream is generally not required.
Recovery and precautions
Recovery is minimal and does not require any interruption to daily activities.
Mild and transient reactions are possible:
- redness
- slight swelling
- increased skin sensitivity
Recommendations:
- use a high SPF sunscreen
- avoid heat sources (sauna, hot baths) for several days
- use soothing skincare products
When are results visible?
Results are often visible after the very first session, whilst optimal efficacy is achieved over the course of several appointments.
The skin gradually becomes:
- more even in tone
- calmer
- visibly clearer of capillaries
Results emerge naturally, without abrupt changes.
Treatment combinations
For a long-term, stable, and aesthetically balanced outcome, this treatment is frequently combined with other technologies from our state-of-the-art laser centre:
- Candela Nordlys — the key technology for vascular changes and further evening of skin tone
- CO2 Smaxel — for skin regeneration and improvement of texture
- Morpheus8 — for strengthening skin structure and reducing reactivity
- Icoone Laser Med — for stimulating microcirculation and regeneration
- HIFU — for additional tightening and tissue support
Additionally, based on individual assessment:
- chemical peels tailored to sensitive skin
- medical treatments for strengthening the skin barrier
- targeted therapies for regulating inflammatory processes
Every combination serves a clear purpose — not merely to eliminate visible changes, but to stabilise the skin over the long term.
