Treatment for facial redness, thread veins and the visible vessels of rosacea.
What is involved
Rosacea redness, thread veins and port-wine stains
Vascular laser targets haemoglobin in the small vessels that cause persistent redness and visible thread veins — something topical treatment does not address. Sessions are spaced four to six weeks apart, and most people need three to five. Bruising is possible for several days, so it is worth planning around anything you have in the diary.
What the appointment includes
How it works
A dermatologist takes a history and examines the skin. Nothing is treated at this appointment unless it is straightforward and you want it done.
Dermoscopy, biopsy or patch testing as needed. Where a diagnosis needs a result, you are told when and how you will get it.
What we recommend, what it involves, what the downtime is and what it costs. You take it away.
Carried out at the clinic, with photography before and after so progress is measured rather than remembered.
Skin conditions are managed over months. The plan is adjusted by what has happened, not by what was expected.
We hold appointments for mole checks every week. Ring the clinic and say that is what you need; if anything about the description sounds urgent, the team will find you an earlier slot.
Appointments
Every treatment starts with an assessment by a dermatologist. Bring photographs of anything that comes and goes — it will not be there on the day.
