Cutera YAG Vein & Redness Removal
All you need to know.
What is Cutera YAG Vein & Redness Removal:
Using the advanced Nd:YAG laser, this treatment targets and coagulates unwanted blood vessels, broken capillaries, and redness under the skin. The laser’s wavelength penetrates deeply to collapse the vessel without damaging surrounding skin. Over time, the body absorbs the treated vessels, leaving the skin clearer and more even.
Who is it for:
Ideal for clients with small facial veins, spider veins on the legs, cherry angiomas, and diffuse redness or flushing (such as rosacea-related redness). Safe for most skin tones and effective year-round.
Pre-Treatment Instructions:
• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner for 2 weeks prior.
• Do not use photosensitizing medications or products before treatment.
• Shave leg hair before leg vein treatments to ensure optimal targeting.
Post Treatment Care:
• Mild redness, swelling, or a warm sensation may occur for a few hours.
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, or vigorous exercise for 24 hours.
• Keep the treated area protected from the sun and use SPF daily.
• For leg vein treatments, wear compression stockings if recommended.
What To Expect After Treatment:
Treated vessels may appear darker or more visible initially, then gradually fade over 2–6 weeks. Some redness or swelling can occur but resolves quickly. Depending on the number and size of veins, 1–3 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart may be needed for best results.
