Treating Vascular Lesions, Rosacea & Leg Veins with Laser

Vascular lasers treat visible vessels and redness by targeting oxyhemoglobin — the pigment in blood — rather than melanin. The energy is absorbed by the vessel, heating and collapsing it while sparing surrounding tissue. As with hair removal, wavelength is the key variable: it determines how deep the laser reaches and which vessels it can treat.

KTP (532 nm) for superficial vessels

The 532 nm KTP wavelength is strongly absorbed by hemoglobin and works well on superficial concerns — facial telangiectasia, diffuse redness, and the visible vessels associated with rosacea. Its shorter wavelength keeps energy near the surface, which suits fine, superficial vessels.

Nd:YAG (1064 nm) for deeper vessels

The 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates more deeply, making it suitable for larger or deeper vessels such as leg veins, and it is generally better tolerated across a wider range of skin types. Adjustable pulse widths let providers match the pulse to the vessel size.

Why a combined platform helps

Because vascular concerns range from fine facial capillaries to deeper leg veins, a platform that offers both wavelengths covers more of that range from one device. WONTECH's V-LASER combines KTP and Nd:YAG with long-pulsed delivery and integrated cooling for controlled vessel treatment.

• 532 nm (KTP): superficial vessels, facial redness, rosacea-associated telangiectasia.
• 1064 nm (Nd:YAG): deeper and larger vessels, leg veins, broader skin-type suitability.
• Adjustable pulse width: matched to vessel diameter.
• Cooling: epidermal protection and patient comfort.

Vascular treatments are intended for licensed medical professionals, and results vary by patient and indication. Evaluate any platform on the vascular cases you see most in a hands-on demo.
