About Laser for Redness, Rosacea and Vascular Lesions

The administration of UVB treatment is bulk billed for existing medicare card holders. As this is a medically supervised treatment, there is a consult fee to see our dermatologist to oversee your treatment course.

This treatment is ideal for patients concerned with:

  • Facial redness and flushing
  • Visible broken capillaries, especially around the nose
  • Generalised skin sensitivity or inflammation
  • Spider veins and telangiectasia
  • Cherry angiomas and vascular birthmarks
  • Post-inflammatory redness from acne
  • Redness associated with rosacea or sun damage

This treatment uses advanced laser energy to target unwanted blood vessels and redness within the skin. The laser light is absorbed by haemoglobin (the pigment in red blood cells), causing the vessel to gently heat, collapse, and fade from view over time.

At Yarraville Dermatology, we use the Cutera Excel V+, a dual-wavelength vascular laser that allows us to treat both superficial capillaries and deeper vascular lesions safely. For tiny vessels around the nose or delicate areas, we utilise the Dermastat handpiece, which enables pinpoint accuracy in treating fine capillaries and stubborn redness.
