Vascular & Redness treatment

Vascular & Redness Treatment with Candela GentleMax Pro Plus

We use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, a Health Canada licensed laser system, to reduce the appearance of selected visible vessels and vascular redness.

Using the GentleMax Pro Plus vascular handpiece, we deliver laser energy that is absorbed by hemoglobin, the pigment within blood. This creates controlled heat that causes suitable vessels to close, allowing the body to gradually clear the treated vessels and reduce their visibility.

The 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength can reach deeper vessels beneath the skin’s surface. We tailor the settings to your skin tone and the vessel’s size, depth and location.

Your complimentary consultation begins with understanding the redness or visible vessels you’d like to address. We assess the area, your skin tone and treatment history, and discuss factors such as sun exposure, rosacea or an underlying vein concern. We explain whether laser treatment is suitable, the sessions you may need and what results to expect. Some concerns require medical assessment first, while recurring redness may benefit from ongoing management. You’ll leave with clear guidance and a personalized plan.

After providing protective eyewear appropriate to the treatment area, your specialist selects settings suited to your skin and the vessels being treated. We begin with a small test area to assess the immediate response and help you become familiar with the sensation. Once you feel ready, we carefully deliver targeted pulses using the GentleMax Pro Plus vascular handpiece. You may feel brief warmth or a snapping sensation, while cooling helps ease discomfort. We monitor the area closely and pause whenever you need a break.

Before you leave, we explain how to care for the treated area and what changes to expect. Temporary redness, swelling, bruising or darkening of treated vessels may occur as your skin recovers. We guide you on gentle skincare, daily sun protection and when to resume exercise and activities involving heat. Some vessels become less visible quickly, while others fade gradually over the following weeks. We review your progress before planning further treatment and remain available for questions along the way.
