Vascular Laser

Facial Veins, Redness & Rosacea Treatment in Vancouver

Clearer skin. More even complexion. Minimal downtime.

Facial Veins

Also known as broken capillaries or spider veins, are tiny enlarged blood vessels that commonly appear around the nose and cheeks. Fotona vascular laser precisely targets these vessels, helping restore a clearer, more even complexion.

Redness & Rosacea

Persistent facial redness may result from rosacea, sun damage, or naturally sensitive skin. While laser treatment does not cure rosacea, Fotona vascular laser can significantly reduce visible redness and enlarged blood vessels, leaving the skin looking calmer and more balanced.

How vascular laser works

1. Before

Visible blood vessels or diffuse redness appear on the skin.

2. During Treatment

The Fotona laser delivers a precise beam of light that is absorbed by the blood vessel, heating it gently.

3. After

The treated vessel collapses and is naturally cleared by your body over time — revealing clearer, more even skin.

Treatment journey

Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Wang will assess your skin to identify the type of blood vessels causing your redness and develops a personalized treatment plan.

Procedure

The Fotona laser selectively targets hemoglobin within unwanted blood vessels, gently heating and sealing them while minimizing effects on the surrounding skin. Plan for around 30-45 minutes for the procedure.

Recovery

Over the following weeks, your body naturally clears away the treated blood vessels. Mild redness may occur temporarily as your skin heals.

Results

Visible blood vessels are reduced, redness is improved, and your complexion appears clearer and more even. Additional treatments may be recommended for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The laser emits a precise wavelength of light that is absorbed by the blood within unwanted vessels. The heat causes the vessel to collapse and seal shut while leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected. Over the following weeks, your body naturally clears away the treated vessel.

  • Fotona vascular laser can effectively treat:

    • Broken capillaries

    • Facial spider veins

    • Diffuse facial redness

    • Visible blood vessels

    • Redness around the nose and cheeks

    • Small cherry angiomas

    • Rosacea-related visible blood vessels

    A consultation is required to determine whether your concerns are suitable for treatment.

  • Most patients describe the sensation as a quick rubber-band snap or a brief feeling of warmth. Treatments are generally well tolerated and do not require anesthesia.

  • Most appointments take approximately 30–45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of vessels being treated.

  • Many patients notice improvement after a single treatment. However, the best results are often achieved with 2–4 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the severity of the redness or visible blood vessels.

  • Downtime is minimal. You may experience temporary redness or mild swelling immediately after treatment, which usually settles within a few hours to several days. Most patients return to normal daily activities right away.

  • Some blood vessels disappear immediately, while others gradually fade over several weeks as your body clears them naturally. Results continue to improve over time.

  • The treated blood vessels are permanently closed and will not return. However, new blood vessels can develop over time due to aging, genetics, sun exposure, or rosacea. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to keep your skin looking its best.

  • While Fotona laser does not cure rosacea, it can significantly reduce the visible redness and enlarged blood vessels associated with the condition, helping your skin appear calmer and more even.

  • When performed by trained medical professionals using appropriate settings, Fotona vascular laser has an excellent safety profile. During your consultation, we will determine whether the treatment is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.

  • If your skin is not irritated, most patients can resume wearing makeup the following day. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions based on your treatment.

  • For the first 24–48 hours, we recommend avoiding:

    • Excessive sun exposure

    • Hot tubs and saunas

    • Vigorous exercise

    • Hot showers

    • Harsh skincare products or exfoliants

    Daily sunscreen is essential to help protect your skin and maintain your results.
