What are Vascular Lesions

Spider veins are small, thin, twisted blood vessels visible under the skin, often appearing red, blue, or purple, commonly on the legs or face.  Spider veins are caused by weakened or damaged valves in veins, leading to poor blood flow.
Genetics

Inherited traits can increase the likelihood of developing spider veins or vascular lesions.

Aging

As skin and veins weaken, spider veins and vascular lesions become more common.

Prolonged Standing

Staying on your feet too long can increase pressure in veins, leading to spider veins.

Pregnancy

Increased blood flow and pressure can lead to the formation of spider veins.

Hormones

Hormonal changes can weaken vein walls, making spider veins more likely.

Vascular Lesions Lotus Laser Aesthetics

Lasers treat vascular lesions by emitting focused light energy that targets and heats the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and eventually fade without damaging surrounding skin. Here's how it works step-by-step:
Laser Selection
Step 1

Our Technician choses the laser wavelength that attracts the chromophore (target), blood.​​​

Breakdown of Veins
Step 2
Breakdown of Veins

The laser is pointed at the spider vein. The blood absorbs the heat and energy and collapses.

​Sometimes it completely vanishes immediately, while other times, it lightens significantly into a light brown or silver. Circulation of the blood then carries the remnants completely away after a few days.​

Noteworthy Points Lotus Laser Aesthetics

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​How many sessions?

Most of the time it can be done in a single session, other times it can take as many as three. There is no magic number of treatments due to many variables.

Is it painful?

It can be painful. Some people think so, while others say they hardly feel a prick. Some people compare it to being snapped by a hot rubber band. The consolation is that it's very quick. Pre-treatment icing helps significantly. A small, cool metal plate is also used to cool the area before treating.

Pre-Care & Post Care for Vascular Lesions

How to prepare for your session:

 Before your Treatment:

• Do not wear makeup on the area to be treated the day of treatment

• Excess hair may need to be shaved. Men should be cleanly shaved

• No sun-tanning or self-tanners 4 weeks prior to treatment, this includes spray tans, tanning lotions, tanning beds, sun exposure, etc.

• Avoid treatments that may irritate the skin for 1-2 weeks prior to treatment (waxing, depilatories, etc.)

• Notify clinic with any changes to your health history or medications since your last appointment

• History of herpes or cold sores may require an anti-viral prescription prior to treatment

Caring for the area after your vascular lesion treatment:

After your Treatment:

• Avoid sun exposure and use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen to prevent further sun damage

• Bruising, redness and swelling may occur and resolve with time

• Avoid heat - hot tubs, saunas, etc. for 1-2 days

• Avoid skin irritants (examples below) a few days post-treatment. This includes products containing tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids, astringents, etc.

• Do not pick at treated areas

• Notify clinic of any concerns (blistering, excessive redness/swelling, etc.)

FAQs for Vascular Lesions

How soon will I see results after vascular lesion laser treatment?

Many clients notice visible improvement right after their first session. Smaller spider veins may fade immediately, while larger or deeper ones continue to lighten over the next few weeks as your body naturally reabsorbs the treated vessels.

Will the veins come back after treatment?

The treated veins are permanently destroyed and won’t return. However, new spider veins can form over time due to genetics, lifestyle, or hormonal changes. Maintaining good circulation and scheduling touch-up sessions can help preserve your smooth results.

Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?

Yes, there’s minimal downtime. You can resume most activities the same day, but it’s best to avoid hot showers, vigorous exercise, or direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours to allow your skin to recover properly.

Is laser treatment safe for all skin types and tones?

Yes, at Lotus Laser Aesthetics, we use advanced laser technology with customizable settings to safely treat a wide range of skin tones. During your consultation, our technician will determine the best approach based on your unique skin type and vascular concerns.

How can I prevent new spider veins from forming?

Regular movement, avoiding prolonged standing, wearing compression garments, and protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure can help minimize new vein formation. Maintaining a healthy weight and circulation also supports long-term results.

Does vascular lesion treatment help with facial redness or rosacea?

Yes, laser therapy can also reduce facial redness and visible capillaries caused by rosacea or sun damage. The laser targets dilated blood vessels beneath the skin, helping to restore a clearer, more even complexion.
