At Dermapure, our team of experienced physicians, nurses and skin experts is dedicated to providing cutting-edge treatments tailored to each individual’s unique needs. With a focus on enhancing natural beauty, we utilize advanced vascular laser technologies such as YAG, Cutera, VBeam, Fotona, or Perfecta to address various skin concerns.
It’s important to note that results may vary depending on factors such as skin type and condition. Therefore, the images provided are for illustrative purposes only and do not guarantee specific outcomes.
Vascular laser treatments use focused light to precisely target a range of skin concerns in a non-invasive way. Offered in select Dermapure clinics across Toronto, these lasers operate at specific wavelengths designed to address issues such as redness, visible vessels, or skin tone irregularities.
Vascular lasers are primarily absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood vessels. This targeted action helps diminish the appearance of redness and visible veins on the skin’s surface. With the right settings, it may also improve skin texture and help even out the look of certain scars.
Other wavelengths are more effective for addressing pigmentation spots. Since these spots often return with sun exposure, consistent sun protection and periodic maintenance treatments are recommended year-round.
The above-mentioned conditions primarily affect the face and the small applicator tip on the vascular lasers facilitates access to the most sensitive areas such as the nose. This being said, we are usually able to treat spots located anywhere on the body.
Please note that some of these lasers are not suitable for darker skin types.
The first step in any vascular laser treatment is to eliminate all traces of makeup and surface lipid film since it is always preferable to remove barriers so that the light can deliver all of its therapeutic benefits. There’s nothing better than clean skin before proceeding with treatment!
Wearing protective eyewear or, on occasion, protective eye shells, will shield your eyes from light beams. During a session, it is normal to remark several flashes of light. With proper protection, however, your eyes have nothing to fear during this perfectly safe treatment.
Prior to treatment, a protective aqueous gel is applied over the entire skin surface of the treatment area for better heat distribution and to make the treatment more comfortable. This is not required for the treatment of pigment spots; the specific parameters for this treatment allow medical staff to dry treat the targeted area without risk.
Determining the precise treatment parameters will ensure treatment success. Every patient is different and every condition-vascular or pigmentary-must be treated differently depending on its location, size and colour. Staff must therefore consider several factors that are unique to you and which will evolve over the course of your sessions.
Feeling the laser’s light on your skin for the first time can be a little startling! Depending on the technology used, the sensation can be one of slight pinching, or at times it may feel like concentrated heat or a burst of pressurized air. Any discomfort, however, is short-lived and the session will only last between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on individual needs.
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.
Treatment prices vary based on your individual needs and the specific procedure performed. To learn more about pricing, we invite you to contact your clinic or schedule a consultation with our experts.
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.
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.
