Capillary Redness Laser

Have you been wondering why the red, web-like tiny blood vessels around your nose or cheeks appear, and whether they can be treated?

Capillary redness is a condition in which small blood vessels under the skin become enlarged and show through the skin surface as thin red or purplish lines.

Once blood vessels have already dilated and become visible, they may be difficult to eliminate with cosmetics or soothing care alone.

The 1064 nm long-pulse redness laser delivers heat energy to dilated blood vessels, selectively coagulates them, and helps the coagulated vessels gradually be absorbed by the body. This treatment directly reduces visible capillaries. The 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser is used for photocoagulation and hemostasis of vascular lesions, and telangiectasia and rosacea are also included among its indications.

Rather than simply covering up red skin, this treatment directly targets the blood vessels that appear red.

What is the Capillary Redness Laser?

The 1064 nm long-pulse redness laser is a laser that targets blood vessels, not pigment.

When laser energy delivers heat to dilated vessels, the vessel walls selectively coagulate and blood flow is blocked.

Immediately after the procedure, the vessels may contract or appear darker. Over time, the coagulated vessels are naturally cleared by the body, and the visible capillaries gradually fade.

Red lines become lighter, and uneven-looking skin tone appears cleaner.

This is a vascular treatment that directly reduces clearly visible capillaries around the nose and cheeks.

Why 1064 nm Long-Pulse?

The 1064 nm wavelength can reach relatively deep into the skin, making it useful for targeting thick, dilated blood vessels that are clearly visible around the nose or cheeks.

The long-pulse method delivers heat to the vessel over a certain period of time, gradually heating and coagulating the vessel wall.

In comparative studies on facial telangiectasia, both 1064 nm long-pulse Nd:YAG and pulsed dye laser showed improvement, and the 1064 nm long-pulse laser showed particularly strong responses in thicker, dilated vessels.

Kkeut Clinic’s Capillary Redness Laser

At Kkeut Clinic, the redness laser treatment checks the location of visible capillaries around the sides of the nose, bridge of the nose, cheeks, and chin, as well as the thickness, color, and depth of the vessels, then directly targets them along the direction of blood vessel flow.

1. A treatment that directly traces visible capillaries

Capillary redness is often not a uniform redness across the entire skin, but rather thin blood vessels spreading in multiple directions.

Kkeut Clinic does not simply irradiate a broad red area without distinction. Instead, we identify where the blood vessels begin and the direction in which they extend, then treat the visible capillaries one by one.

2. Customized settings according to vessel thickness and depth

Even on the same face, capillaries can differ: some are thin and bright red, some are thick and dark, and others appear purplish from deeper within the skin.

Therefore, rather than applying the same power and pulse to every vessel, it is important to adjust the energy strength and delivery time according to the vessel’s thickness, color, depth, and skin thickness.

At Kkeut Clinic, the procedure is performed after consultation with the director. We check the condition of the blood vessels in each area, deliver sufficient heat to vessels that need treatment, and reduce unnecessary stimulation to surrounding normal skin by setting the parameters individually.

3. Real-time feedback by checking vessel response

When appropriate energy is delivered, the vessel may contract, become lighter in color, or, in some cases, temporarily become darker during treatment.

Kkeut Clinic checks these vascular responses during the procedure, reinforces areas that need more treatment, and adjusts the treatment so that excessive energy does not overlap in the same area.

We observe the vessel response and treat precisely only as much as needed.

Visible capillaries are delicately refined.

4. Distinguishing “overall facial redness” from “visible capillaries”

Not all facial redness is the same.

Redness that temporarily appears due to temperature changes or nervousness, redness caused by dermatitis and inflammation, redness associated with rosacea, and redness caused by actually dilated visible capillaries all require different treatment approaches.

In particular, 1064 nm long-pulse treatment has strengths in treating thick vessels that are clearly visible around the nose or cheeks. Mild, widely spread redness or very fine superficial vessels may require other combination treatments as well.

Kkeut Clinic does not perform vascular laser treatment simply because “the face is red.” We first identify the cause of the redness and the shape of the blood vessels.

Procedure Process

STEP 01. Self-cleansing

Makeup and impurities on the skin surface are thoroughly removed.

STEP 02. One-on-one customized consultation with the director

The cause of redness and the location, thickness, color, and depth of the capillaries are checked.

STEP 03. Vascular area design

The flow of visible capillaries around the sides of the nose, bridge of the nose, cheeks, and chin is checked.

STEP 04. Eye protection and skin preparation

Before laser treatment, the eyes are safely protected and the skin condition is checked.

STEP 05. 1064 nm long-pulse vascular laser

The procedure is performed by adjusting the energy and pulse according to the thickness and depth of the vessels.

STEP 06. Check vessel response

Changes in vessel color and contraction response are checked, and areas that need additional treatment are reinforced.

STEP 07. Post-treatment soothing with Jaungo modeling mask

After the procedure, a Jaungo modeling mask is applied to help calm heat and redness in the skin.

Precautions After Treatment

ㆍTemporary redness, heat sensation, stinging, or swelling may occur after the procedure.

ㆍTreated vessels may temporarily appear darker or dark red.

ㆍDepending on individual skin condition and vessel thickness, bruising or purpura may appear.

ㆍIn rare cases, blisters, scabs, or pigmentation changes may occur, so do not forcibly remove scabs.

ㆍDo not rub or massage the treated area strongly.

ㆍOn the day of the procedure, avoid saunas, jjimjilbangs, hot baths, and intense exercise.

ㆍAlcohol and spicy or hot foods may worsen redness, so it is best to avoid them for a few days.

ㆍUse moisturizer generously and apply sunscreen thoroughly.

ㆍIf discomfort or swelling gradually worsens, please contact the clinic.

Q&A

Q. If I receive laser treatment, will the capillaries really disappear?

The 1064 nm long-pulse laser aims to reduce visible capillaries by selectively coagulating dilated blood vessels.

Some vessels may contract and become lighter or disappear immediately after treatment, while others may become darker and then gradually clear over time.

However, depending on the thickness, depth, and extent of the vessels, they may not all be removed in one session.

Q. Can I see results after just one session?

There are individual differences, but some people may notice changes after just one session.

However, if the vessels spread in multiple branches or vessels of different depths are mixed together, repeated treatments may be necessary.

In actual studies on telangiectasia around the nose, effectiveness was evaluated after multiple treatment sessions.

Please decide the necessary number of sessions after consultation with the director.

Q. Do capillaries disappear immediately after the procedure?

Depending on the vessel, some may immediately contract or fade, while others may temporarily appear darker or dark red.

Since the body needs time to clear the coagulated vessels, it is best to evaluate the final change after the skin has stabilized.

Q. How is this different from regular laser toning?

Laser toning mainly targets melanin pigment to manage melasma, freckles, and pigmentation.

The capillary redness laser targets and coagulates blood vessels that appear red.

Pigment laser for brown spots, vascular laser for red capillaries.

The treatment targets themselves are different.

Q. Does it also improve overall facial redness?

Among types of facial redness, it may help when dilated blood vessels are the cause of the redness.

However, if other causes such as inflammation, dermatitis, temperature changes, or neurogenic flushing are involved, removing capillaries alone may not eliminate all redness.

In particular, 1064 nm long-pulse treatment has strengths for thick, dilated vessels. For mild, widely spread redness, combination treatments such as Genesis toning, exosomes, or Potenza may be more suitable.

Q. Can I receive this treatment if I have rosacea?

If capillaries are dilated around the nose or cheeks along with rosacea, this treatment can be used to reduce visible vessels.

However, inflammation, burning sensation, papules, and pustules caused by rosacea cannot all be treated with vascular laser alone, so other treatments should be considered under the director’s diagnosis.

Q. Is it effective for capillaries around the nose?

Yes. The sides and bridge of the nose are representative areas where capillaries often appear thick and clearly visible.

The 1064 nm long-pulse laser can be an effective treatment method, especially for thick, dilated vessels around the nose.

Q. Is it very painful?

When the vessel is targeted, you may feel a stinging sensation or a feeling similar to a hot rubber band snapping against the skin.

Pain may vary depending on the thickness of the vessel, treatment area, energy intensity, and individual sensitivity.

However, strong gas cooling is used together, so the pain is usually tolerable.

Q. Will bruising or purpura occur?

Depending on the treatment settings and the condition of the vessels, redness, swelling, bruising, or purpura may occur.

Vessels becoming darker is a temporary reaction that can occur in vessels that have received laser energy.

Q. When can I wash my face and wear makeup?

Gentle cleansing and makeup are possible even on the day of the procedure.

However, on the day of treatment, avoid rubbing the skin strongly or using scrubs or peeling products.

Q. Can removed capillaries come back?

Coagulated vessels are cleared, but new vessels around the area may dilate due to skin aging, ultraviolet exposure, heat stimulation, alcohol consumption, or rosacea tendency.

Therefore, even after treatment, it is important to manage lifestyle habits by protecting the skin from UV rays and reducing excessive heat stimulation.
