Vascular and redness treatment in Vancouver
Understanding Vascular & Redness Treatment.
Calmer, more even skin is very achievable. Broken capillaries and persistent background redness often respond beautifully to laser and light-based treatment, so you can feel comfortable with or without makeup.
Treatment targets the blood inside unwanted vessels, so the vessel closes and is gradually cleared while the surrounding skin is comparatively spared.
Redness has several possible causes, so we start by understanding yours. If it looks like rosacea, our physicians can provide the medical care it needs alongside your treatment.
Concerns & Goals
Concern guides connected to this treatment.
Rosacea & Facial Redness
A chronic skin condition that can cause persistent redness, flushing, visible vessels, or acne-like bumps.
Redness, Vascularity and Rosacea
Persistent facial redness, flushing, visible vessels or rosacea-related bumps and sensitivity.
Broken Capillaries & Visible Facial Vessels
Small superficial blood vessels that appear as fine red or purple lines or patches on the face.
Visible Leg Veins & Spider Veins
Small superficial veins that show as red, blue, or purple lines on the legs.
Treatment options at our clinic
- BBL BroadBand Light: well suited to diffuse background redness and fine surface capillaries across the cheeks, nose and central face.
- Clarity II: a dual-wavelength laser chosen when vessel depth or size, or your skin tone, calls for it, including selected leg and spider veins.
Some plans use both, staged across a series. Treatments are performed by our senior laser technicians under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame, and rosacea is diagnosed and managed medically by our physicians.
What vascular treatment can improve
- Broken capillaries around the nose, cheeks and chin
- Persistent background redness across the cheeks or central face
- Rosacea-related vessels and flushing, as part of a wider plan
- Redness from years of sun exposure
- Red patches from small vascular lesions
- Selected leg and spider veins
Who may benefit
Vascular treatment suits people with visible facial vessels or persistent redness who are happy to use daily sun protection and plan for occasional maintenance.
Every skin tone can be considered. Deeper skin tones carry a higher risk of pigment change with light-based treatment, so we choose the device and settings carefully and use a test patch where helpful. Treatment is timed for when skin isn't tanned.
Larger leg veins are checked for an underlying vein concern first, and if flushing rather than visible vessels is your main concern, we'll combine treatment with medical care and trigger management.
Your medical history, medications and previous treatments are reviewed at your consultation to confirm which option suits you.
Your consultation
Your consultation is with one of our senior laser technicians or cosmetic health and skincare advisors, under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame. Where your redness suggests rosacea or another condition needing medical care, our physicians can help.
We look at your redness: distinct vessels or diffuse tone, where it sits, how long it's been there and whether it behaves like rosacea.
We assess your skin type, including how you tan and burn, and review medications, blood thinners, isotretinoin use, cold sores, keloid tendency and recent sun exposure or self-tan.
We talk about triggers such as heat, alcohol, spice, stress and sun, and map out your plan, including sessions and maintenance.
Cosmetic consultations are complimentary. When you book a treatment, we take a card on file. New clients pay a $150 deposit that goes toward their treatment, and a $150 no-show fee applies if an appointment is missed.

Results and planning
What improves: the visibility of broken capillaries, the intensity of background facial redness and some rosacea-related vessels.
Timing, sessions and recovery depend on the technology and the type of redness. Distinct vessels often fade sooner, while diffuse redness improves gradually across a series, and each technology page explains what to expect.
Keeping your result. Sun exposure and rosacea can form new vessels over time, so periodic maintenance is part of most plans, and daily sun protection helps you go longer between sessions.
What shapes your result: vessel size and depth, skin type, sun exposure, flushing triggers, medical rosacea care and consistent sun protection. Individual results vary.
Optimizing your results
Combining with HydraFacial. HydraFacial works well alongside redness treatment. Its cleansing and hydrating steps can be adjusted for sensitive skin, helping keep skin calm between sessions, and our team will advise the right timing.
Skincare and trigger management
With redness, what you do between sessions makes a real difference.
Sun protection every day. UV exposure drives new vessel formation, so daily sunscreen protects your result.
Gentle, calming products. Reactive skin does best with fragrance-free products and no scrubs or strong actives.
Know your triggers. Heat, alcohol, spicy food, hot drinks, temperature swings and stress can all flush the face, and recognizing your pattern helps day-to-day redness.
Our team can recommend calming skincare and sunscreens from our online shop.

It can reduce the visible vessels and redness of rosacea, sometimes substantially. Rosacea is an ongoing condition, so the best results come from combining treatment with medical care from our physicians and awareness of your triggers.

Most people go straight back to their day with some redness and warmth for a day or two. Temporary purple bruising of treated vessels can occur, especially with larger vessels or leg veins, so let us know about any upcoming events and we'll plan your timing.
