Vasculase

Dermaforce treatmentsVasculase – Advanced Thread Vein Removal

Instant, visible results!

Introducing Vasculase – an advanced laser device for the effective removal of unwanted thread veins, with instant results.

Vasculase works by directing a narrow, specific wavelength of light onto the unwanted thread vein. The energy is absorbed by the thread vein, heating the blood within the vessel without damaging the wall of the vein.

This reaction causes the thread vein to collapse and the blood to be absorbed into the body’s own natural healing process, causing the vein to disappear.

FAQs

What are thread veins?

Thread veins (also called spider veins, broken blood vessels, broken veins or capillary veins) are small red, blue or purple veins that typically appear near the surface of the skin on the face and legs, including calves, thighs, and ankles.

Treatment explained

Vasculase involves directing intense light precisely onto the vein, causing the blood within it to coagulate. This is then absorbed into the body, leaving the skin clearer. The light also penetrates deeper below the skin surface to treat underlying vessels.

What results can you expect?

Veins are permanently removed after treatment. However, this does not mean new veins won’t develop in the future. Hormonal changes, pregnancy, weight gain, or prolonged standing can contribute to new thread vein formation.

Is it safe?

Yes, this treatment is safe and effective for treating thread veins. Using proven technology, it offers fantastic results with just one treatment in most cases. As with any treatment, you may need to wear SPF after to protect the skin.

What will you experience during the treatment?

You may feel mild heat sensations as the light is applied. The treated vein will visibly disappear during the procedure.

Which areas can be treated?

Thread veins can be targeted almost anywhere on the body, including thighs, calves, ankles, and face.

How many treatments are required?

Most clients require only one treatment, but multiple sessions may be needed for more extensive veins.

How long until you see the results?

Results are often visible instantly, with veins disappearing during the procedure.

There is no downtime. The skin may initially appear red but will usually settle within 24 hours. Following aftercare advice is essential, and post-treatment reviews may be arranged.
