Capillary Reduction
It's saying goodbye to old friends.
Laser therapy is the best way to deal with your unwanted capillaries. It reduces dilated capillaries and improves the skin’s condition. We use the medical grade Candela GentleYAG laser for fast results, and recommend treatments at 6-12 week intervals. It’s a non-surgical treatment so you can walk out of our clinic with confidence and clear skin!
Laser therapy for capillary reduction is a relatively painless treatment that increases the production of collagen, making those vessels naturally disappear. We use the medical grade Candela GentleYAG laser for fast results.
Vascular
Capillary removal is the treatment of an individual dilated capillary using laser energy to target the blood supply within the vessel. The heat from the laser can collapse the capillary wall causing the vessel to shut down on itself. This will then be treated as useless to the body and will be taken away via the lymphatic system.
Flushing
Flushing is the same concept of heating the tiny microvascular network, shutting it down and removing it as waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I know what treatment is right for me?
Speak to one of our skin specialists for a complimentary skin consultation. We love educating people about their skin and will offer you a tailored treatment plan
-
What will my skin look like when I walk out of the clinic - will I need time off work?
Each person’s skin is different – so your response will vary, but the majority of our skin treatments require no downtime. . Your therapist will take you through a post-treatment care regime that will minimise any impact to your skin.
-
How long will it take for me to see a result after my treatments?
Each procedure is different – our less invasive treatments (such as microdermabrasion and superficial chemical peels) give more immediate results, and our more invasive treatments (such as Fractional RF (Max RF), Dermal rolling and deeper chemical peels) taken longer to see results (1-3 months). These treatments, however, have more lasting impacts than the less invasive treatments. Your therapist will advise on a treatment plan that will include a variety of treatments and our cosmedical-grade skin scapre products to address the skin concerns you have.
-
How do I maximise the benefits of my skin treatments?
Combine your treatments with LED light therapy and Skinstitut cosmedical skin care.
LED works on a cellular level to fight active acne, rosacea and leaves your skin energised and youthful. The deep penetrating LED lights are designed to be soothing, target deep into skin cells to heighten their internal functions, photo-stimulate dermal blood flow and induce faster healing, reduce acne and treat rosacea.
Cosmedicals are the newest and arguably the most effective category of skin products that can be purchased without prescription. Often described as an advanced cosmeceutical, Cosmedicals have the ability to target not only present and past skin damage, but provide the skin with some preventative capacity for the future. Based on a medically and clinically proven blend of AHA, Retinoids, Vitamin C, Peptides, Antioxidant and SPF technology, Cosmedicals are not only reliant on a potent percentage of active ingredients but utilise carefully formulated base formulas, encapsulation technology and penetration enhancers to deliver benefits as deep as possible into the skin.
-
Why do I need to use aftercare products?
The importance of before and aftercare is to ensure you receive maximum results with minimal side effects to the treatments we offer. This includes our skin and laser treatments and can even be applied to cosmetic injections.
