Question 1

How does the Vascular Laser work?

Accepted Answer

The Vascular Laser uses a long-pulse Nd:YAG laser to target facial capillaries, spider veins, cherry angiomas, blood blisters and broken blood vessels on the face and body. A cooled tip helps make the treatment more comfortable.

In some cases, IPL and Nd:YAG technologies are combined to address overall redness alongside individual visible vessels. Suitability is assessed during your consultation.

Question 2

What does the Vascular Laser feel like?

Accepted Answer

You'll feel a warm, hot snapping sensation on the treated area, which only lasts a short time. The handpiece has an inbuilt cooling system that cools the area before and after to keep the treatment more comfortable.

Question 3

How long does a Vascular Laser treatment take?

Accepted Answer

A Vascular Laser session typically takes 5–30 minutes. The exact length depends on how much area is being treated and the number of vessels involved.

Question 4

How many Vascular Laser treatments do I need?

Accepted Answer

Most clients book a course of treatments. Deeper veins typically need repeat sessions — your practitioner will discuss the right plan for your skin during consultation.

Question 5

How often can I have Vascular Laser treatments?

Accepted Answer

Treatments are typically scheduled 4–8 weeks apart. The spacing depends on the area being treated.

Question 6

Is there any downtime after a Vascular Laser treatment?

Accepted Answer

Mild bruising or temporary darkening of the treated vessels can occur and usually settles over the following days. You can return to your usual routine immediately after treatment.

Question 7

Who is the Vascular Laser suitable for?

Accepted Answer

The Vascular Laser is suitable for all skin tones and types. It's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for clients currently taking oral isotretinoin medications.

Question 8

What aftercare do I need after a Vascular Laser treatment?

Accepted Answer

Avoid exercise for 12 hours and any heat-based treatments to your face for up to 7 days. Skip prolonged UV exposure for 28 days, and wear SPF with antioxidant protection daily. We recommend using a Synergie aftercare product as part of your recovery.
