[Neatly address visible red veins] Thread Vein Laser

Many people feel uncomfortable due to the visible red capillaries on the sides of their nose or on their cheeks. You might be curious about the causes of these vascular lesions and how to improve them.

Capillary redness refers to a condition where tiny blood vessels in the skin become dilated and appear as fine red or purplish threads on the skin's surface.

Once dilated and visible to the naked eye, these blood vessels may be difficult to improve with cosmetics or simple skin soothing treatments alone.

The 1064nm long-pulsed redness laser is a procedure that precisely delivers thermal energy to dilated blood vessels, selectively coagulating them. Over time, the coagulated vessels are naturally absorbed by the body, helping to reduce the appearance of visible capillaries. The 1064nm Nd:YAG laser is used for photo-coagulation and hemostasis of vascular lesions, and can be considered for conditions such as telangiectasia or rosacea.

This treatment is not simply about covering up red skin. It directly targets and attempts to improve the visibly red blood vessels themselves.

What is the Capillary Redness Laser?

The 1064nm long-pulsed redness laser primarily targets dilated blood vessels, not pigments within the skin.

When laser energy reaches the dilated blood vessels, heat is transferred to the vessel walls. This selectively coagulates the vessel walls, blocking blood flow.

Immediately after the procedure, the treated vessel areas may temporarily contract or appear somewhat darker. However, over time, the coagulated vessels are naturally absorbed and cleared by our body, gradually leading to the fading of visible capillaries.

The red lines fade, and the overall uneven skin tone may appear more refined.

This is a vascular-focused treatment that directly improves prominently visible capillaries on the sides of the nose or cheek area.

Why 1064nm Long-Pulsed?

The 1064nm wavelength has the characteristic of penetrating relatively well into deeper skin layers. This makes it effective for intensively treating thick, dilated blood vessels that are clearly visible on the sides of the nose or cheek area.

The long-pulsed method works by delivering thermal energy to the blood vessels for a sufficient duration, gradually heating the vessel walls and inducing coagulation.

According to research on facial telangiectasia, both the 1064nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser and pulsed dye laser showed improvement. Notably, reports suggest that the 1064nm long-pulsed laser tends to show a better response in thick and dilated blood vessels.

Capillary Redness Laser

During the redness laser treatment, areas where capillaries appear, such as the sides of the nose, nasal bridge, cheeks, and chin, are closely observed. After confirming the vessel's thickness, color, and depth, the treatment precisely targets them along the direction of the vessel.

1. Direct tracking of visible capillaries

Capillary redness often appears as fine blood vessels spreading in various directions, rather than a uniformly red skin surface.

Instead of indiscriminately treating a wide red area, we meticulously identify the starting points and spreading directions of the blood vessels. This allows us to use an approach that delicately treats each visible capillary by tracking it individually.

2. Customized settings based on vessel thickness and depth

Even facial capillaries have diverse characteristics. Some are thin and bright red, while others are thick and dark, or appear purplish from beneath the skin.

Therefore, instead of applying uniform laser output and pulse to all vessels, it is necessary to precisely adjust the energy intensity and treatment duration considering each vessel's thickness, color, depth, and skin thickness.

Before the procedure, thorough consultation ensures a detailed understanding of the vascular condition in each area. Based on this, appropriate thermal energy is delivered to necessary vessels, and unnecessary irritation to surrounding normal skin is minimized by finalizing individual settings before proceeding with the treatment.

3. Real-time feedback to confirm vascular response

During the procedure, when appropriate energy reaches the blood vessels, they may show a response such as contraction or fading of color. Sometimes, some vessels may temporarily darken.

The medical staff carefully observes these real-time vascular responses during treatment. Areas with insufficient energy are supplemented, and energy is delicately adjusted to prevent excessive overlap in the same area.

Treatment is performed precisely within the necessary range by confirming the response of the blood vessels.

We focus on more delicate management of visible capillaries.

4. Differentiating between 'overall redness' and 'visible capillaries'

Facial redness can stem from various causes and cannot all be classified as the same type of redness.

Sometimes, redness occurs temporarily due to temperature changes or psychological stress, and it can also arise from dermatitis or inflammation.

Redness accompanied by rosacea, or redness where actual capillaries are visible due to vascular dilation, requires different treatment approaches tailored to their specific characteristics.

In particular, the 1064nm long-pulsed laser has characteristics advantageous for improving prominent thick blood vessels on the sides of the nose or cheeks. Conversely, for faint, widespread redness or fine superficial blood vessels, a complex approach with other treatment methods may be necessary.

Rather than proceeding with laser vascular treatment simply because "the face is red," our medical staff first precisely identifies the underlying cause of the redness and the specific form of the blood vessels.

Capillary Redness Laser: These are the benefits

Directly targets red capillaries appearing on the sides of the nose and cheeks.

Selectively coagulates dilated blood vessels to induce improvement.

Allows for a deep approach even to thick and clearly visible blood vessels.

Customized output adjustment is performed considering the thickness and depth of each blood vessel.

A procedure that directly controls blood vessel size

Can be applied to vascular issues appearing around the nose, bridge of the nose, both cheeks, and chin.

A delicate procedure performed with consideration for the flow and direction of blood vessels.

A method that focuses on blood vessels rather than pigmented lesions to treat the problem area.

Can also be considered for application to capillaries dilated due to rosacea.

The 1064nm long-pulse Nd:YAG laser is known to help improve dilated capillaries around the face or nose. However, treatment results and the number of sessions required may vary depending on blood vessel size and individual skin condition, so it is best to decide after a thorough consultation with medical staff.

Can be considered in these cases

Those who have clear red capillaries visible on the sides of their nose.

Those who have thin, multi-branched red blood vessels visible on their cheek skin.

Those who are bothered by redness that is not well covered by makeup and remains visible.

Those whose blood vessels are particularly prominent and red in specific areas rather than over the entire face.

Those who are uncomfortable with red blood vessels around the nose making them appear as if they've been drinking.

Those whose red capillaries do not improve and persist with skin soothing care alone.

Those who have symptoms of capillary dilation around the nose in addition to rosacea.

Those who have prominent blood vessels that are red or purplish and relatively thick.

Those who wish to address red capillaries that make their skin tone appear uneven.

Treatment Procedure

STEP 01. Personal Cleansing

Gently remove makeup and impurities accumulated on the skin.

STEP 02. One-on-One Customized Consultation with the Director Medical Team

Identify the root cause of redness and thoroughly examine the location, thickness, color, and depth of capillaries.

STEP 03. Treatment Area Confirmation and Design

Confirm the distribution and flow of visible capillaries around the nose, bridge of the nose, cheeks, and chin.

STEP 04. Eye Protection and Skin Condition Check

Before the laser treatment begins, this step ensures eye safety and checks the overall skin condition.

STEP 05. 1064nm Long-Pulse Vascular Laser Application

The treatment is performed by delicately adjusting the laser's energy intensity and pulse duration according to each individual's blood vessel thickness and depth.

STEP 06. Observation of Vascular Response

After laser irradiation, carefully observe changes in blood vessel color or contraction patterns, and if necessary, treat the area further.

STEP 07. Post-Treatment Soothing Care with Jaungo Modeling Pack

After the treatment, a modeling pack containing Jaungo ingredients is applied to soothe any heat or redness that may appear on the skin.

Post-Treatment Precautions

Immediately after the treatment, temporary redness, warmth, slight stinging, and swelling may occur on the skin.

The blood vessel areas treated with the laser may appear darker or purplish-red for a short period.

Depending on individual skin characteristics and blood vessel thickness, bruising or purpura may occur in the treated area.

Rarely, blisters, scab formation, or pigmentation changes may occur. If scabs form, allow them to fall off naturally and be careful not to remove them forcibly.

Avoid rubbing the treated area vigorously or excessive massage.

On the day of the treatment, it is advisable to avoid saunas, jjimjilbangs (Korean bathhouses), hot water baths, and strenuous exercise.

Alcohol and spicy or hot foods can worsen skin redness, so it is helpful to avoid them for a few days after the treatment.

It is important to pay attention to skin hydration by applying plenty of moisturizer and to meticulously use sunscreen when going outdoors.

Q&A

Q. Does laser treatment really eliminate spider veins?

The 1064nm long-pulsed laser selectively coagulates dilated blood vessels, focusing on reducing visible spider veins.

Some blood vessels may contract immediately after the procedure, becoming lighter in color or invisible. On the other hand, some vessels may temporarily darken before gradually being absorbed and disappearing over time.

However, depending on the thickness, depth, and extent of the lesion, not all spider veins may be completely removed in a single session.

Q. Can I see results with just one session?

While results may vary for each individual, some people experience noticeable changes with just one session.

However, if you have many branched blood vessels or a mix of vessels with varying depths, repeated sessions may be necessary.

In fact, studies on telangiectasia around the nose have also evaluated improvement effects after multiple treatments.

It is advisable to determine the appropriate number of sessions for you through consultation with your medical professional.

Q. Do spider veins disappear immediately after the procedure?

Depending on the condition of the blood vessels, they may contract and fade immediately, but they might also appear temporarily darker or reddish-purple.

Since time is needed for the coagulated blood vessels to naturally clear from the body, it is best to check the final improvement after the skin has stabilized.

Q. How is it different from general laser toning?

Laser toning is a procedure primarily used to improve melasma, blemishes, and hyperpigmentation by reacting to melanin pigment.

In contrast, spider vein and redness lasers work by targeting visibly red blood vessels, delivering energy to coagulate them.

Pigment lasers are suitable for brown spots and blemishes, while vascular lasers are suitable for red spider veins.

It's important to remember that these two procedures target fundamentally different conditions.

Q. Can it also improve general facial redness?

Among the various causes of facial redness,

if dilated blood vessels are the primary cause, then an improvement in redness can be expected through the procedure.

However, if there are other complex causes such as inflammation, dermatitis, reactions to temperature changes, or neurogenic redness, simply removing spider veins may not eliminate all redness.

In particular, while the 1064nm long-pulsed procedure is strong for thick and dilated blood vessels, for light and widespread redness, other combination treatments such as Genesis Toning, exosomes, or Potenza may be more suitable.

Q. Can it be used for rosacea?

If you have rosacea symptoms along with dilated capillaries on your nose or cheeks, this procedure can be used to reduce visible blood vessels.

However, symptoms such as inflammation, heat sensation, papules, and pustules caused by rosacea may be difficult to treat solely with vascular lasers. Therefore, it is advisable to consider combining them with other supplementary treatments as diagnosed by your medical professional.

Q. Is it effective for spider veins next to the nose?

Yes, the sides of the nose and the bridge of the nose are among the representative areas where blood vessels are thick and clearly visible.

The 1064nm long-pulsed laser is a procedure that can be effectively applied, especially to such thick and dilated vascular lesions around the nose.

Q. Does it hurt a lot?

When energy is delivered to the blood vessels, you may feel a stinging sensation or a feeling like a hot rubber band snapping against your skin.

The degree of pain varies depending on the thickness of the blood vessels in the treated area, the intensity of the applied energy, and individual pain sensitivity.

However, with powerful gas cooling performed simultaneously, the pain is usually tolerable for most individuals.

Q. Will I get bruises or purpura?

Depending on the procedure settings and the patient's vascular condition, redness, swelling, or mild bruising or purpura may occur in the treated area.

The darkening of the blood vessel color after the procedure is a common and temporary reaction that can be observed in vessels where energy has been delivered.

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

Gentle cleansing and makeup application are possible on the same day as the procedure.

However, on the day of the procedure, it is advisable to refrain from aggressively rubbing the skin or using exfoliating products such as scrubs and peels.

Some people wonder if the removed capillaries can reappear.

The blood vessels themselves, which were coagulated and disappeared by the procedure, do not reappear. However, due to various factors such as skin aging, UV exposure, temperature changes, alcohol consumption, and rosacea,

new blood vessels may expand in the surrounding area.

Therefore, even after the procedure, lifestyle management such as paying attention to UV protection and reducing excessive heat stimulation is very important.
