Appropriate for
Visible superficial capillaries on the face (cheeks, nose, chin) or legs, chronic redness due to couperose, telangiectasia, and superficial microangiopathies, thin red or blue veins.
Capillaries, Couperose and Telangiectasia
Visible capillaries, couperose, and telangiectasia are among the most common skin concerns. They appear as small red or bluish vessels on the face or body, causing redness and uneven skin tone. These are not just aesthetic imperfections, they are often linked to skin fragility, which makes the skin more sensitive and reactive. At Image Regenerative Clinic, advanced laser technologies and selective methods are used to effectively treat vascular lesions, reducing capillary visibility and improving the skin’s appearance naturally and progressively.

About the Treatment
What are visible capillaries, couperose, and telangiectasia
Visible capillaries (or venulectasia): small dilated vessels that often appear on the nose, cheeks, chin, and legs.
Couperose: a condition characterized by persistent redness and widespread facial capillaries, typical of delicate or sensitive skin.
Telangiectasia: fine, web-like vascular dilations that may appear on the face or lower limbs.
These alterations are usually harmless from a medical standpoint but have a significant aesthetic impact. They can worsen over time due to factors such as sun exposure, temperature fluctuations, stress, or genetic predisposition.
Laser treatment for facial capillaries and couperose: how it works
The vascular laser technologies available at Image Regenerative Clinic are based on the principle of selective photothermolysis:
the laser beam targets the hemoglobin within the blood vessel, inducing coagulation and gradual reabsorption by the body.
This process eliminates the vessel without damaging the surrounding tissues, ensuring a safe and effective approach.
Each treatment plan is personalized according to the area, color, and diameter of the vessels.
How many sessions are needed to remove capillaries
The number of sessions varies depending on the severity and extent of the lesions.
On average, 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are required.
For predisposed individuals, maintenance treatments may be recommended once or twice a year.
Results of vascular laser treatment: before and after
Results are gradual but visible:
- Significant reduction in the visibility of capillaries
- Attenuation of persistent redness caused by couperose
- Improved evenness of skin tone
- A brighter, healthier-looking complexion
At the end of the cycle, the skin appears smoother and more even. The treated capillaries are permanently eliminated, while any new formations can be managed with maintenance sessions.
Contraindications and precautions for vascular laser treatment
The treatment is not recommended in cases of:
- Tanned or recently sun-exposed skin
- Active skin infections or dermatitis
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Recent use of isotretinoin
- Uncontrolled systemic vascular diseases
Recommended precautions:
- Avoid sun exposure in the weeks before and after the session
- Use daily high-protection sunscreens
- Temporarily avoid aggressive cosmetics or scrubs on treated areas
