Give unwanted spider veins the flick
Targeting the broken capillaries and damaged blood vessels, this treatment uses heat from the laser to collapse the capillary wall, causing the vessel to disappear. Ideal for people with skin types I-III only for facial and upper body red capillary damage.

How it works
Visible capillaries are harmless but can be a nuisance if you’re conscious of them – they’re created due to broken blood vessels, which occur just below the skin’s surface when dilated or enlarged, showing small, red lines that develop commonly on the face.
Laser Vascular Treatment works to reach the blood vessels below the skin targeting the blood supply with precision. Absorbing the energy from the laser, the vessels are destroyed by short, intense heat created – the damaged vessels disappear to even skin tone and leave surrounding tissue untouched.
This treatment is perfect if you have blood vessels and red blemishes visible on the skin, to safely and non-surgically improve overall appearance of the face, neck and chest.

Prep+ Aftercare
Do not wax the area, use fake tan or have sun exposure on the area for 2 weeks prior as to protect your skin. Do not have sun burn for 4-6 weeks prior to your treatment. WA + QLD clients must have a Medical Opinion Letter – Skin Check for this treatment.
Immediate aftercare:
- Avoid exercise, hot showers, spas, pools and saunas for 48 hours
- Avoid picking or scratching the area
- Use ARx Healing Balm and cold compress for 3 days after
- Wear SPF every day to prolong treatment and protect the skin
- Use Hyaluronic acid and other acids 3 days after treatment
- Commence use of exfoliation products 1 week after treatment
- Do not wax the area for 4 weeks after
The number of required treatments will vary depending on the type and location of the vascular lesion. Broken capillaries on the facial area (usually on the cheeks, chin, and around the nose), will usually require 1-2 treatments done at 6 weekly intervals. Your SILK technician will assess and evaluate the area and retreat as necessary.
As with all laser treatments some discomfort will be felt, however most clients are able to tolerate the treatment well. For all treatments the Zimmer Cooling System is used to cool the treatment area which reduces the discomfort felt by the client.
Once treated, blood vessels can take 14-30 days to clear.
As vascular damage is usually caused by a weakened barrier, medical conditions or hereditary results can vary, we always recommend redness removal as a new part of your skin treatment plan ongoing to maintain results.
We can treat damaged capillaries which are visible on the face, neck and décolletage.
After treatment, clients may experience redness, swelling and mild discomfort. The areas treated can also have darkening and scabbing got up to 2-4 weeks. At home post treatment care can help reduce these side effects.
