Vascular Laser in Seoul, Korea. Calm Redness. Clear Veins.
What Is a Vascular Laser?
A vascular laser is a targeted treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to shrink and close unwanted blood vessels in the skin. It is one of Korea’s top solutions for facial redness, visible capillaries, and sensitive-skin flushing.
These lasers selectively target hemoglobin (red pigment) without harming surrounding tissue—making them safe, precise, and highly effective for redness-prone skin.

How Vascular Laser Works
The laser emits light that is absorbed by hemoglobin inside blood vessels.
This causes controlled heating, leading the vessel to collapse and fade over time.
Typical effects:
- Redness reduction
- Shrinking of broken capillaries
- Less flushing over time
- Healthier, calmer-looking skin
- More even complexion
You may see improvement after 1 session, but most people need 2–4 sessions for best results.
Types of Redness Treated
Vascular lasers can help with:
Diffuse redness
Overall facial redness appearing especially on the cheeks or nose.
Thread veins
Small, thin visible lines caused by enlarged blood vessels.
Rosacea-type redness
Flushing, heat sensitivity, and persistent red patches.
Post-acne red marks
Red spots left behind after pimples heal (common in lighter Asian skin).
Sun-induced redness
UV damage can cause dilated capillaries and red patches.
