Laser and light-based treatment for visible vessels and redness.
Visible facial vessels and areas of redness can become more noticeable when small superficial vessels show through the skin. Depending on the concern, laser or light-based energy may be selected to target visible vascular colour contrast.
At CosMedik, the approach is selected according to your skin, the appearance of the visible vessels, the treatment area and your goals. Your consultation is used to determine which technology and settings may be appropriate for you.
Visible facial vessels
Selected small visible vessels around areas such as the nose and cheeks may be assessed for treatment.
Facial redness
Light-based treatment may be selected for certain areas of diffuse or localized visible redness.
Selected vascular concerns
Appropriate superficial vascular concerns can be evaluated during consultation to determine whether treatment is suitable.
