Laser Vascular Therapy
Laser vascular therapy (also known as vascular laser treatment or laser vein removal) is a medical and cosmetic procedure that uses focused laser energy to treat visible or abnormal blood vessels in the skin. It’s commonly used to target conditions such as spider veins, broken capillaries, rosacea, and vascular birthmarks.
Laser vascular therapy works on the principle of selective photothermolysis — the laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (the red pigment in blood).
This heats and damages the targeted vessel wall, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body — without harming the surrounding skin.
