Vascular Lasers Montreal
Vascular lasers are light-based treatments offered at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal that use concentrated light energy to target visible vascular concerns in the skin. The light is absorbed by the blood within small vessels and converted into heat, which helps reduce their appearance while preserving the surrounding skin.
Vascular lasers are most often considered by patients who would like to reduce diffuse redness, broken capillaries and other small visible vessels, including on redness-prone skin. The right wavelength and settings depend on your skin and the concern being treated, which is why a professional skin assessment is essential. It may be received on its own or planned alongside other in-clinic treatments within a broader plan.
Because every patient’s skin, concerns and goals are different, vascular lasers at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal always begin with a personalized consultation and skin assessment. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether this treatment is the most appropriate option for your skin and discuss a realistic plan, the expected results and any precautions to keep in mind.

Cleaning and Application of Specialty Products
Removing the gel-when applicable-and cleaning the skin signals the end of a session. To calm the heat sensation and to protect the skin, a moisturizer is carefully applied to the entire treatment area, followed by a mineral sunscreen. Occasionally, and at the discretion of staff, skin may be left in the open air to recover, which is most often the case for the treatment of pigment spots.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
It normally takes between 2 and 5 sessions with minimum one-month intervals to see optimal results, depending on your skin’s initial condition. This is due to your skin’s built-in memory-it remembers lesions as far back as 10 years. It is therefore important to combine the therapeutic effects of light to help improve your complexion and to significantly correct spots. Subsequently, a light yearly maintenance session will ensure that your results are preserved over time.
Contraindications
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should postpone this type of treatment, as well as anyone who has been exposed to sunlight in the months before or after each session. Sunbeds/tanning booths, the use of self-tanning products and photo-sensitizing medication are all forbidden.
