Vascular Laser Treatment Sydney

A vascular laser is a specialised laser designed to target blood vessels within the skin.

The laser energy is absorbed by blood within the vessel, causing the vessel to collapse and gradually disappear while leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected.

This allows treatment of many common vascular conditions without surgery.

Cherry angioma on the back: These are benign vascular spots that can occur on any part of the skin, causing not only cosmetic concerns but can also bleed if scratched. The good news? They can be simply and effectively removed using our vascular lasers.

Angiokeratoma of Fordyce on the scrotum: These are benign vascular spots that occur on male genitalia, causing not only cosmetic concerns but can also bleed if scratched. The good news? They can be simply and effectively removed using our vascular lasers.

Broken Capillaries (Telangiectasia)

Small red blood vessels commonly found on the nose, cheeks and face.

These vessels often become more noticeable over time and can usually be significantly improved with vascular laser treatment.

Cherry Angiomas

Cherry angiomas are common bright red vascular spots that can occur anywhere on the body.

Although harmless, many patients choose removal for cosmetic reasons or because the lesions bleed when scratched.

Angiokeratoma of Fordyce

Angiokeratoma of Fordyce are dark red or purple vascular lesions commonly found on the scrotum.

These lesions are harmless but may bleed and can be effectively treated using vascular laser technology.

Facial Redness

Selected cases of facial redness and vascular flushing may respond well to vascular laser treatment.

Successful vascular laser treatment depends on:

• Accurate diagnosis
• Correct laser selection
• Appropriate treatment settings
• Understanding of skin type
• Experience treating vascular lesions

Different vascular conditions often require different treatment approaches.

Dr Peter Kim personally assesses every lesion before treatment.

Step 1 – Consultation

Assessment and diagnosis of the vascular lesion.

Step 2 – Laser Treatment

Appropriate vascular laser settings are selected according to the lesion type and skin type.

Step 3 – Recovery

Most patients experience temporary redness or mild swelling.

Step 4 – Follow-Up

Additional treatment may be recommended if required.

Many cherry angiomas respond after a single treatment.

Broken capillaries and facial redness often require 1–3 treatments.

The number of sessions depends on:

• The size of the lesion
• The number of lesions
• Skin type
• Individual response to treatment
