Targeted Laser Therapy for Clearer, More Even Skin
Visible facial veins, broken capillaries, and vascular lesions can be frustrating — especially when topical products fail to improve them. At MD Laser and Aesthetics Studio, we use the Fotona Dynamis Pro Nd:YAG laser to provide safe, non-invasive treatment for vascular lesions.
Laser therapy gently closes off problematic vessels without damaging surrounding skin, making this a highly effective option for treating spider veins, facial redness, and other vascular conditions on the face or body.
All treatments are personally performed by Dr. Ali Hamidi, a board-certified physician with expertise in laser-based aesthetic medicine.
What Are Vascular Lesions?
Vascular lesions are abnormal blood vessels near the surface of the skin. They may appear as:
- Red or purple lines (telangiectasia)
- Spider veins (small, dilated blood vessels)
- Diffuse redness or flushing
- Port-wine stains or other vascular birthmarks
- Broken capillaries on the cheeks or nose
- Small hemangiomas or cherry angiomas
They are often caused by sun exposure, aging, genetics, or chronic inflammation, such as rosacea.
How Fotona Laser Treatment Works
Using the long-pulse Nd:YAG laser, we precisely target unwanted vessels with light energy. The heat causes the vessel walls to collapse and close, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb the treated vessels over time.
This non-invasive technique allows for accurate targeting of vascular structures without harming surrounding skin.
For some patients, this treatment may be combined with skin resurfacing or pigmented lesion treatment for more comprehensive facial clarity.
Conditions Treated with Vascular Laser
- Spider veins on the face or body
- Broken facial capillaries
- Redness from rosacea
- Angiomas (cherry red spots)
- Port-wine stains
- Vascular birthmarks
- Venous lakes (on the lips or face)
- Flushing on the cheeks or nose
Fotona’s laser is suitable for both facial and small body vessels, though it is not used for large varicose veins (which may require medical evaluation).
Benefits of Laser Vascular Treatment
- Non-invasive, no incisions or needles
- Safe and effective on all skin types
- Targets visible veins with precision
- Minimal discomfort and no downtime
- Reduces redness and improves skin tone
- Long-lasting results with proper care

Many patients report visible improvement after just one treatment, with optimal results typically achieved in 1–3 sessions.
What to Expect
- Sessions typically last 15–30 minutes
- A cooling system is used to enhance comfort
- You may experience mild redness or swelling post-treatment
- Treated vessels may darken temporarily before fading
- No downtime — most patients resume normal activities the same day
- Avoid sun exposure before and after your visit for best results
Dr. Hamidi will customize settings based on your skin type and the size, color, and location of the vessels being treated.
