Can Laser Help With Redness or Broken Capillaries? Here’s How Fotona Can Support Vascular Skin Concerns
Facial redness, flushing, and broken capillaries are incredibly common — and often deeply frustrating. Whether it’s ongoing sensitivity, visible vessels, or unexplained flushing, these concerns can affect confidence and make it difficult to find the right products or treatments.
At Platinum Cosmetics, we use Fotona laser technology to help reduce the appearance of redness and support healthier, more balanced skin. Here’s how it works — and why this non-invasive approach is gaining popularity among clients with vascular concerns.
Understanding Facial Redness and Capillaries
Redness can stem from several causes, including:
Dilated capillaries (also called telangiectasia)
Rosacea or flushing-prone skin
Sun damage
Post-inflammatory erythema (redness following breakouts or skin treatments)
These concerns may be genetic, environmental, or result from a weakened skin barrier. Either way, they often require more than topical skincare to fully address.
How Fotona Laser Treats Redness and Vascular Concerns
Fotona’s Nd:YAG laser mode allows us to target deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface. For vascular issues, the laser energy is absorbed by haemoglobin (the red pigment in blood), gently heating and collapsing the problematic vessels without harming surrounding tissue.
Over time, this leads to:
A reduction in visible redness
Fewer flare-ups or flushing episodes
A more even, calm complexion

What Makes Fotona Different?
Unlike intense pulsed light (IPL), Fotona’s Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates more deeply, making it suitable for a broader range of skin types — including those with deeper tones or reactive skin.
It also allows us to deliver targeted energy with great precision, which is especially important when treating delicate facial vessels.
What to Expect From Treatment
Treatments are comfortable, with most clients describing a warming or mild prickling sensation. There may be slight redness immediately after, but downtime is minimal — and many clients return to work or daily life the same day.
We typically recommend a series of 2–4 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, depending on the severity of the redness or capillary visibility.
Can It Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Absolutely. We often pair Fotona laser treatments with:
Skin rejuvenation to improve hydration and resilience
At-home skin care tailored to calm and protect sensitive skin
Together, these form a complete approach to calming inflammation and improving long-term skin function.
