Varilite Laser
Varilite laser treatment for spider veins, broken capillaries, and facial redness — targeted vascular treatment at our dermatology office in Leland, NC.
About Varilite Laser
The Varilite laser delivers light at wavelengths absorbed by blood vessels, converting to heat that collapses the targeted vessel so the body can clear it away. It is a precise option for spider veins, broken capillaries, and localized redness, treating individual vessels without harming the surrounding skin. Sessions are brief and performed right in our office.
Treatment Options
The Varilite laser is an effective and non-invasive option for improving the appearance of vascular imperfections and enhancing skin tone.
Treatment Process
The procedure typically involves applying a cooling gel to the treatment area to protect the skin and enhance comfort. A handheld laser device is then used to deliver targeted pulses of light to the affected areas. The treatment is relatively quick, and patients often describe the sensation as a mild snapping or tingling.

Pre & Post Care
Pre-Treatment
- Consult with your provider regarding any current skin conditions or medications.
Post-Treatment
- Slight redness or swelling may occur in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours to a few days.
Expected Results
Onset
Varies depending on the size and severity of the vascular issue being treated.
Duration
Treated vessels are typically destroyed permanently.
Maintenance
Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results.
Ongoing Care
Treated vessels typically fade over the weeks following treatment as the body resorbs them; some vessels need a second pass. Because new vessels can develop over time — particularly with sun exposure — daily sun protection helps maintain your results. We will evaluate your vessels and set expectations for the number of sessions at your visit.
