VascuLyse

About the treatment

VascuLyse is a non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency thermocoagulation to target small vascular and other superficial skin irregularities. It may be used on different skin types, depending on the nature and location of the lesion.

Concerns treated

• Facial redness and dilated capillaries: small blood vessels visible near the skin’s surface.
• Telangiectasias and spider angiomas: fine red branches formed by dilated superficial vessels.
• Cherry angiomas: small, generally benign red vascular spots.
• Cholesterol deposits: small, superficial yellowish plaques, often found near the eyelids.
• Milia: small white or yellowish cysts that form beneath the skin’s surface.
• Skin tags: small, soft growths attached to the skin by a narrow base.

All irregularities should be assessed before treatment. Any lesion whose nature is uncertain or that has changed in an unusual way should be examined by a healthcare professional before an aesthetic procedure is performed.

How the treatment works

During treatment, a sterile, disposable filament lightly touches the surface of the irregularity and delivers targeted radiofrequency energy. The resulting heat coagulates the small vessel or acts on the targeted tissue, which then changes through the skin’s natural healing process.

The treatment is precise and brief. The sensation experienced varies according to the treatment area and individual sensitivity.

After the treatment

Redness, mild sensitivity, or small temporary crusts may appear on the treated areas. These generally resolve as the skin heals; they should not be picked, and all recommended aftercare instructions should be followed.

Number and length of sessions

A session generally lasts approximately 15 minutes. The number of treatments depends on the type, size, and number of irregularities being addressed. Some may improve after one session, while others require several appointments.

Recommendation

A personalized program that may include multiple treatments will be recommended according to your skin assessment and its response to treatment.
