Laser Vascular lesions Removal

What are Vascular Lesions?

Vascular lesions occur when small blood capillaries in the skin become dilated. When grouped together vascular lesions can give the appearance of red spots and are often defined as Cherry Angiomas (small area) or Port Wine (larger area). When the blood vessels are enlarged and spread out, they are visible ‘threads’ known as Telangiectasia.

Vascular Lesions Procedure

Queen of The Skin has been performing vascular lesions removal for over 12 years, with the use of cutting-edge Dual Laser technology. The Dual Laser is the only laser device designed with a small pen-tip head, shaped to specifically target vascular lesions.

Benefits of Vascular Lesions Removal

Most laser or IPL devices utilise a large headpiece that shrinks the blood vessels. This will often lead to the return of blood vessels within weeks to months following treatment.

Queen of The Skin uses a pen-like laser head that targets the blood vessels one-by-one until destroyed.

This is a walk-in walk-out treatment that is performed within minutes.

How long does the procedure take?

The laser vascular removal procedure takes only 5-10 minutes, however, we allow 30 minutes for your appointment as this will allow time to complete a patient registration form, receive a consultation and discuss the procedure and post-care instructions.

How many treatments will I require?

Our innovative laser technology facilitates the removal of vascular lesions instantly at the time of treatment. In cases where the vascular lesion is large, such as a vascular birthmark or mild-severe Telangiectasia, additional laser treatments may be required.

Is the treatment painful?

Typically, anaesthetic is not required. The treatment is often termed ‘uncomfortable’ but is tolerated well among most age groups. This is due to the speed and precision in which vascular lesion (s) are removed. With that said, if you would like anaesthetic, we are able to provide topical and local anaesthetic options designed to completely numb the area to be treated.

Post treatment results

Following your treatment there will be some redness and possible swelling on and around the treated areas for up to 72 hours. In addition, a temporary scab will form, and this is a natural part of the treatment process and the scabbing will usually fall off within 7-10 days. Once the scab has fallen off, the area will be red (due to new capillary formation to heal and repair the treated area), and over several months, the redness will dissipate.

Post Care

You will be requested to send an image of the treated area 3 days post treatment and 2 weeks post treatment. This is to ensure that the treated area(s) is healing well and that you have kept the scab intact. Of course, if at any time you have questions or concerns, you should contact our clinic to arrange a face-to-face appointment.

During the healing process, you can wear makeup to conceal the treated area – recommendations will be provided with regards to the best types of makeup to be used.

If required, you will be provided with topical cream, designed to be used post skin injury, that will provide nutrients to accelerate the skin healing process. In addition, we also offer Light Emitting Diode Treatments (LED) to accelerate the healing process.

You will be provided with a post-care form along with verbal instructions to care for the treated area (s).
