1064nm Nd:YAG laser treatment of visible veins and broken capillaries. Performed personally by Dr. Amir Mortazavi, MD.
The laser delivers energy absorbed by hemoglobin inside the vessel. The vessel wall collapses and seals, and the body clears the remnant over the following weeks. Because the target is blood rather than surface pigment, the skin above the vessel is left intact — and the treatment works across a broader range of skin tones than devices that target melanin.
Treats: broken capillaries and spider veins on the nose and cheeks · facial redness from visible vessels · small blue and red leg veins up to 3mm · vessels on the chest and around the nostrils
Select your area:
Nose — the most commonly treated area. Broken capillaries around the nostrils and along the sides of the nose, often from sun exposure, rosacea, or years of nose-blowing.
Nose + Face — nasal vessels plus capillaries across the cheeks and chin, where redness is diffuse rather than isolated.
Body — small spider veins and blue vessels on the legs, chest, or elsewhere.
What to expect: each vessel takes seconds. You'll feel a brief snap. Treated vessels often darken or disappear immediately, then continue to clear over two to four weeks. Mild redness or slight swelling along the treated line is normal for a day or two.
Most facial vessels clear in one to two sessions. Larger or more established vessels sometimes need a third. Leg veins generally require more sessions than facial vessels and respond less predictably.
Important limit on leg veins. This treats small surface vessels up to about 3mm. Larger varicose veins, bulging veins, or veins associated with aching, swelling, or heaviness are a venous insufficiency problem, not a cosmetic one. Treating the surface vessel without addressing the underlying circulation means it comes back. If that describes your legs, you need a vein specialist — and Dr. Mortazavi will tell you so rather than treating you.
If your redness is rosacea rather than discrete vessels, laser helps with the visible vessel component but doesn't treat the underlying condition. Flushing and inflammation need medical management alongside it.
Cherry angiomas — the small raised red bumps rather than thread-like vessels — are treated with the same laser but priced separately. See cherry angioma removal.
