Laser and IPL Vein Treatment Australasia

We can treat spider veins and small varicose veins in all areas of the body. Those around the face we often treat with laser, larger veins on the legs we often use sclerotherapy - vein injections (Dr Christine Lee-Baw is our expert vein injector).

Commonly located on the nose, cheeks and chin they appear as small red vessels under the skin. If left untreated, these vessels will continue to dilate and become more noticeable. Early treatment and ongoing maintenance yield the best outcomes. The most common causes are: Environmental - sun exposure and weather extremesAgeGeneticsHormonal fluctuationsPregnancyMedical conditions such as high blood pressurePressure e.g. squeezing acne or  glasses pressing on the faceTreatment is as much about repairing the existing damage as it is about prevention of further damage by improving the overall strength and health of your skin. A nurse will have a  with you before recommending treatment in order to assess the extent of damage and to give you realistic expectations of what to expect. They do this by using state-of -the-art imaging software that visualises your skin two millimetres below the skin revealing the extent of the blood vessel damage under your skin. From there they can make recommendations and perform any test patches that may be necessary. Clear Complexions is excited to now be offering the Genesis and Excel  lasers. These lasers allow us to focus on many more layers in the skin than possible before. The Excel laser targets those obvious, larger broken vessels that can be so resistant to other treatments, while the Genesis focuses on that deeper, diffuse redness that’s just beyond the reach of .   The number and type of  treatments required depends on the size of the vessel, the length of time it has been visible, the general health of the skin and any underlying medical causes for the vascular damage. Your nurse will be able to advise you of the best treatment or combination and estimated number of treatments required at the time of your consultation. <
