KTP Laser for Vascular Lesions

The KTP laser emits a wavelength that hemoglobin absorbs strongly, letting it heat and collapse unwanted blood vessels while sparing the surrounding skin. That precision makes it our workhorse for facial spider veins, broken capillaries, cherry angiomas, and the diffuse redness of rosacea. Treatments are quick, performed in-office, and typically well tolerated — most patients describe brief snapping sensations rather than pain.

KTP laser treatments offer targeted solutions for vascular and pigmented skin concerns:

Treated vessels darken and then fade as the body clears them over the following weeks; larger or denser areas may need more than one session. Sun protection before and after treatment reduces the chance of pigment changes and helps prevent new vessels from forming. We will examine your skin and estimate the number of sessions at your visit.
