Dilated veins, the expansion of superficial skin vessels (telangiectasia), and vascular lesions can affect 30-40% of people. These unpleasant and aesthetically unattractive problems affecting facial and body skin can be easily and quickly removed using the advanced GentleMax Pro laser system.


What causes vascular lesions?

The causes of vascular lesions can vary. The main factors include:

  • Genetic predisposition;
  • Venous circulation disorders;
  • Valve insufficiency;
  • Hormonal changes;
  • Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders;
  • Blood clotting disorders;
  • Pregnancy or menopause;
  • Use of contraceptive pills;
  • Injuries or physical exertion;
  • Prolonged standing or sitting;
  • Age.

How do dilated vessels form?

Dilated capillaries on the legs are small blood vessels on the skin’s surface that can appear due to various reasons. They can occur in any body area as red, bluish single capillaries or a network of various diameter vessels. These vessels are fragile and easily damaged by internal and external factors, such as pressure, rubbing, standing work, inherited collagen fiber weakness, pregnancy, or sun exposure. The most effective method for removing dilated capillaries is laser treatment.

The Candela Medical GentleMax Pro is a comprehensive laser system that combines two lasers:

  • GentleLase Pro Alexandrite Laser (wavelength 755 nm);
  • GentleYag Pro Laser (wavelength 1064 nm).

Laser features:

  • This next-generation laser system has an optimal combination of parameters (laser wave power, emitted pulse duration) essential for effective vascular treatment, widely used for removing dilated capillaries and superficial veins.
  • Procedures performed with this laser are painless and quick (about 5-15 minutes).
  • The Nd:Yag laser simultaneously improves the skin’s aesthetic condition and removes dilated lesions.
  • The Candela Medical GentleYag Pro laser is the most powerful 1064 nm Nd:Yag laser, effectively removing facial and body vascular lesions, leg veins, and rejuvenating the skin.
  • Our clinic uses the latest generation GentleMax Pro laser approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration).

How does laser vascular lesion removal work?

The laser’s emitted light is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. The blood vessel walls stick together and are naturally removed from the body.

The long-pulse, high-power GentleYag Pro laser emits a light beam absorbed by dilated capillaries or the small vascular network causing redness. The laser energy is converted to heat, causing the vessel walls to collapse and disappear while leaving the surrounding skin unchanged. Dilated vessels, hemangiomas, and other vascular lesions visibly reduce, fade, and are removed without any marks.

What problems does the procedure address?

  • Removal of dilated capillaries (telangiectasia);
  • Removal of facial vascular lesions;
  • Rosacea treatment;
  • Couperosis treatment;
  • Treatment of vascular networks;
  • Removal and treatment of vascular stars, varicose veins on the legs.

Is the procedure painful?

The Candela Medical GentleMax Pro laser features an integrated patented dynamic cooling system (DCD), protecting the skin’s upper layer and ensuring a comfortable procedure. A slight tingling sensation may be felt, and redness disappears quickly.

Benefits of this procedure:

  • Effective: Laser capillary removal is the most effective way to eliminate vascular lesions.
  • Comfortable: Thanks to anesthesia, there is no pain during or after the procedure.
  • Aesthetic: No marks remain after laser capillary removal.
  • Safe: Laser vascular removal is entirely safe. The laser beam targets only the desired vessels or networks, leaving surrounding tissues unaffected.
  • Minimal Downtime: Post-procedure symptoms such as swelling and redness disappear within a few days, but normal activities can be resumed immediately.

How many procedures are needed?

Before the procedure, our clinic’s doctors will examine you and select the most effective individualized treatment plan. The number of procedures depends on the number, size, and age of the dilated capillaries. Desired results are often achieved after one procedure, but depending on the vascular lesions, 1-3 procedures may be required. Procedures are performed every 4-6 weeks.

Pre-procedure recommendations:

  • The skin should be clean and free from cosmetic products, creams, or lotions at least 24 hours before the procedure;
  • Avoid self-tanning creams 1 week before the procedure;
  • Avoid direct sunlight for 2 weeks before the procedure;
  • To achieve the best results and reduce complications, avoid medications containing aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning substances 1 week before the procedure.

Post-procedure recommendations:

  • Follow the doctor’s instructions after removing capillary stars or vascular networks;
  • Avoid saunas, pools, and steam baths after the procedure, and protect the skin from sunlight for at least 1-2 weeks;
  • Protect the treated skin from harmful factors and remember to strengthen capillaries.

Treatment duration and frequency:

  • Pigmented spots, redness, vascular networks, and capillary removal typically require 3-4 procedures.
  • Rosacea treatment is often completed in 2-4 sessions. Your doctor will determine the need for additional treatments based on the severity of your condition.

Removal of dilated leg veins:

To remove dilated leg veins, the laser applicator emits pulses targeting the vascular walls, heating and collapsing them. As a result, the veins disappear from the skin’s surface. Typically, 1-3 procedures are recommended every 8 weeks.
