Do you have red spots that just won’t budge? Maybe it’s those tiny broken blood vessels around your nose, cherry angiomas that popped up out of nowhere, or a birthmark that’s always made you feel self-conscious. At Derm Associates, we know how frustrating visible vascular lesions can be—but the good news is, there’s a proven way to clear them up. Enter: the YAG laser.
This advanced treatment targets the red, purple, or blue hues of vascular defects, leaving your skin clearer, calmer, and more even-toned. Here’s what you need to know.
What Can the YAG Laser Treat?
The YAG laser is a go-to option for deep vascular issues because it reaches far beneath the skin’s surface to take care of what the eye can’t see. We use it to treat:
- Broken blood vessels (especially on the face and legs)
- Cherry angiomas
- Spider veins
- Vascular birthmarks
- Deep vascular lesions
Whether you're dealing with a single red dot or widespread visible vessels, the YAG laser offers a safe, effective solution.
How It Works
During treatment, the laser energy targets the blood in the vessels, causing the walls to heat up and coagulate (basically, seal shut). The handpiece also cools the skin during the procedure for added comfort. Right after the treatment, the area often turns a deeper color—kind of like a bruise—and that’s a good thing! Your body will gradually clear away the coagulated blood, revealing clearer skin underneath.
What to Expect After Treatment
- The treated area may appear purple or darker red at first
- Most people see noticeable improvement in 1–4 weeks
- One to two sessions are usually all you need
- There’s little to no downtime—you can return to most activities right away
Think of it as a reset for your skin’s tone and texture.
Why Trust a Dermatologist with Laser Treatments?
Laser treatments might sound simple, but choosing the right wavelength, depth, and technique is key for safety and results. At Derm Associates, Dr. Sonya Johnson and her team have extensive experience using the YAG laser to treat vascular lesions with precision and care. We tailor every treatment to your skin type and goals—because no two people (or blood vessels) are alike.
