Visible red and blue vessels on the face and legs are common for men. Whether they are thread veins or rosacea, IPL or our Alexandrite and Nd:Yag lasers can reduce the appearance of undesired veins.
Thread veins, also known as dermal flares, are caused by sun exposure, rosacea, smoking or alcohol consumption. Veins become more visible as men age and collagen depletes as skin becomes thinner to reveal the prominence of the veins. For men, these red or blue veins may look like webs around the nose and cheeks. Thread veins can be removed by laser treatment at Bodyvie.
For veins, often found on face, the Alexandrite and Nd:Yag lasers target these vessels using specific wavelengths to target the absorption into the blood, removing them with little or no downtime. For more superficial veins, a common symptom of rosacea, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is often recommended to treat vascular redness.
After treatment, thread veins may appear darker for a few days before complete absorption. The amount of treatments vary for each individual.
The result of laser vein removal is a younger and more even complexion. Treatment is precise and efficient, with very little downtime, ideal for treatment to be scheduled during a lunch break or after work.
