Vascular Lasers Toronto
Vascular lasers are non-invasive light-based treatments offered at our Dermapure clinics in Toronto, which deliver controlled pulses of laser energy at specific wavelengths that are selectively absorbed by hemoglobin in visible blood vessels. The energy is converted into controlled heat that targets the vessel while preserving the surrounding skin.
Vascular lasers are most often considered by patients who would like to address diffuse facial redness, visible blood vessels and broken capillaries, ruby angiomas, the vascular component of rosacea or other vascular lesions on the face, neck or other areas of the body. Some technologies are better suited than others to darker skin tones, which is why a thorough skin assessment is essential. Two to five sessions spaced about one month apart are typically needed, followed by light yearly maintenance.
Because every patient's skin, goals and medical history are different, vascular lasers at our Dermapure clinics in Toronto always begin with a personalized skin assessment. Together with your specialist, you will determine which laser technology is best suited for you and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.

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.
