Vascular Lasers Quebec
Vascular lasers offered at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City use concentrated light energy to target visible vascular concerns. The light is absorbed by the blood within small vessels and converted into heat. This reduces the appearance of these vessels while preserving the surrounding skin.
This treatment is most often considered by patients who would like to reduce diffuse redness, broken capillaries and small visible vessels, particularly on redness-prone skin. The wavelength and settings are adapted to your skin, which makes a thorough skin assessment essential before treatment. Vascular laser treatments can also be planned alongside other in-clinic options within a broader treatment plan.
Because every patient’s skin is different, vascular lasers at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City 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 what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects. Book your personalized consultation with our team in Quebec City.

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.
