Get to Know Laser for Vascular Lesions

Vascular lesions are visible blood vessels or red marks on the skin. They can include broken capillaries, small facial veins and some vascular spots that stand out in photos or everyday light. Laser for vascular lesions at Ocean Cosmetics in Perth is designed to treat these cosmetic vessels in a careful, doctor led setting.

During your consultation, we assess the type, size and location of your vascular concerns. Not every lesion is suitable for cosmetic laser and some require a medical assessment first. If treatment is appropriate, we explain your options and what to expect.

Laser for vascular lesions is often part of a broader redness and skin health plan. It may be combined with skincare, lifestyle advice and other light based treatments.

Benefits & Target Areas

Targets fine red vessels on the cheeks, nose and chin.

Treats selected small, superficial veins in suitable areas.

Can improve the look of certain red spots such as cherry angiomas, when appropriate.

Helps reduce general redness that is related to small surface vessels.

Focuses on common areas of visible veins that can be hard to cover with makeup.

Ideal for

This treatment is ideal for people bothered by visible facial veins or small vascular marks, and for clients with stable skin who understand that multiple sessions may be needed. It suits those who are willing to follow sun protection and skincare advice, individuals seeking a doctor led assessment before treatment, and suitable skin types as confirmed at consultation.

Treatment Journey

Your doctor reviews your history, medications and any circulation concerns. We examine your vessels, sometimes with magnification, and explain which lesions are suitable for laser and which are not.

You may be asked to avoid sun exposure, certain medications and topical products that increase sensitivity or bruising risk. We provide a clear plan.

Redness and temporary swelling are common. Some vessels may darken or look more visible before they fade. Mild bruising can occur. You receive instructions on gentle care and sun protection.

Technology We May Use

Ocean selects platforms to match your skin and goals.

DERMA-V

DERMA-V targets haemoglobin in blood vessels with specific wavelengths. The treated vessels heat and are gradually cleared by the body over time.

BBL

BBL uses broad band light that can target both redness and pigment. It is useful for diffuse redness and fine vessels, often as part of a series of treatments.
