VascuLase in Lancaster
Thread veins are very common, and many people would simply like them to be less noticeable. VascuLase is one of the clinic's options for them. This page explains what to expect and why every plan starts with an assessment.
Quick answer
VascuLase is a targeted treatment for thread veins, the small visible blood vessels that can appear close to the surface of the skin. At Naomi Waite Aesthetics in Lancaster it is offered after a consultation, where your practitioner assesses your veins and skin and explains whether VascuLase or another option suits you best.
What is VascuLase?
VascuLase is a treatment used at the clinic for thread veins: small, visible blood vessels close to the surface of the skin, sometimes called spider veins or broken capillaries.
It is a targeted treatment, focused on the individual vessels you would like to reduce rather than on the skin as a whole.
How VascuLase works
Your practitioner treats each visible vessel you have agreed to address, with the aim of making it less noticeable. They will explain how the treatment works for your particular veins and what change you can realistically expect.
We do not publish device specifications or settings. These are decided by your practitioner for your skin and the veins being treated.
What VascuLase can help with
VascuLase may be considered for:
If your concern is more general redness, or a mix of redness and pigment, your practitioner may suggest a different route, such as IPL skin rejuvenation.
- Thread veins, assessed at consultation
Is VascuLase right for me?
Suitability depends on your veins, where they are, your skin and your medical history. Some veins are better suited to other approaches, so the right route is decided at consultation rather than in advance.
Please tell your practitioner about any medications, skin conditions or recent treatments. They will explain whether VascuLase, IPL or another option is most appropriate for you.
What happens during treatment
At your consultation, your practitioner looks at the veins you would like to treat, asks about your medical history and explains how treatment would be approached and how comfort is managed.
On the day, the area is prepared and your practitioner works on the agreed veins. Your aftercare is explained before you leave.
Downtime and aftercare
How your skin reacts after VascuLase depends on the area and on you, so we do not give a fixed recovery time. Your practitioner will talk you through what to expect.
You will be given aftercare to follow, based on these principles:
- Follow your written aftercare as advised
- Protect the treated area from the sun
- Do not pick or scratch the treated skin
- Contact the clinic if anything concerns you
How VascuLase compares with other options for veins and redness
The clinic has more than one option for visible vessels and redness. IPL is a light-based treatment, not a laser, that can be used for skin rejuvenation, including vascular and pigment concerns. VascuLase is a targeted thread-vein treatment. Which is more appropriate depends on your veins, your skin and your assessment.
Results
We do not promise that treated veins will disappear completely or that no new ones will form, because response varies and new thread veins can develop over time. Your practitioner will give you an honest view of what is realistic for you.
