Treat visible blood vessels and redness with focused laser light from our board-certified dermatologist-led team in Nashville, TN.
Vascular
Facial redness, broken capillaries, and visible leg veins share a common thread: they're all about blood vessels sitting a little too close to the skin's surface. Vascular lasers are built to target exactly that, using focused laser light to treat visible vessels without disturbing the skin around them.
The laser's energy is absorbed specifically by the pigment in blood, allowing it to target visible vessels precisely while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. It's a favorite treatment for rosacea-related redness, broken capillaries around the nose and cheeks, and small leg veins that are too fine for injection-based treatments like sclerotherapy.
Choosing the right laser and settings for a given vessel size, depth, and skin tone is genuinely technical work -- get it wrong, and you risk under-treating the vessel or affecting the skin around it. At SkinCare Dermatology, vascular laser treatments are guided by our board-certified dermatologists, who select the appropriate wavelength and settings based on a real assessment of your skin and vessels.
Treated vessels may look darker or slightly bruised for several days to a couple of weeks before fading, but there's minimal disruption to your daily routine in the meantime. Most patients see visible fading of treated vessels after just one or two sessions.
