Indication

Vascular lesions

In facial telangiectasia, leg veins and angiomas, haemoglobin in the blood absorbs the light, and the vessel heats up, closes and is gradually reabsorbed. 532 nm and IPL are mainly used for fine, superficial vessels, and 1064 nm for larger, deeper ones. The DermaV has both laser wavelengths. We also supply the FlexSys (532 nm and 577 nm modules), the Clarity II, the Elite iQ and the ReClear IPL.

Vascular skin conditions: from diffuse redness to deeper-lying vessels

Vascular indications cover a broad spectrum of skin concerns in which blood vessels become visible at or just beneath the skin surface. From diffuse redness and rosacea to telangiectasia, couperose, angiomas, leg veins and naevi flammei — each calls for its own treatment approach and matching technology.

Technology choice based on the depth and nature of the indication

Not every vascular indication responds to the same technology. The choice depends on the depth, calibre and type of blood vessel.

For superficial, diffuse indications such as general redness, early rosacea and fine telangiectasia, IPL is an effective choice. Its broad light spectrum reaches several vessels at once and lends itself to treating larger areas with limited downtime — a practical advantage for busy clinics.

For deeper-lying or more pronounced vascular structures — such as thick couperose vessels, leg veins (besenreiser), angiomas or naevi flammei — laser technologies offer a more precise and more powerful approach. The longer wavelength of Nd:YAG penetrates deeper into the skin and is also suitable for vascular treatments on darker skin types.

Our range for vascular treatments

Medi-Invest offers a focused selection of proven systems for vascular indications: the ReClear IPL, Elite iQ, Clarity II, DermaV, FlexSys, Etherea MX, ZYE ALX, ZYE YAG, IPL SQ and LongPulse. Each system has specific strengths in terms of wavelengths, indication range and practice profile.

The right choice depends on the indications you want to treat, your target group and the balance you want between treatment intensity and downtime. Medi-Invest guides you through that decision — from first orientation to clinical training and technical follow-up afterwards.

Technologies for this indication

  • Alexandrite (755 nm)

    Medium-sized, deeper and bluer vessels, such as leg veins from about 0.4 mm [1][2]. For leg veins, Nd:YAG gave better results in a comparative study; 755 nm is mainly suited to untanned skin of types I to III [3].

  • Nd:YAG (1064 nm)

    With long pulses for larger, deeper and bluer vessels, such as leg veins and reticular veins up to about 3 mm [4]. During the pulse, methaemoglobin forms, which absorbs 1064 nm more strongly than haemoglobin [5]. For fine vessels and facial redness, wavelengths with greater haemoglobin absorption are more commonly used [6].
