Long-Pulse Nd:YAG-laser
The Solution for Visible Blood Vessels & Vascular Conditions
- This page was written by Lotte
Laser Treatment
The Nd:YAG laser is an advanced technology designed to treat redness and visible blood vessels on the skin. This laser specifically targets hemoglobin, the pigment in blood, making it highly effective in addressing vascular skin conditions such as spider naevi, couperose, rosacea, cherry angiomas, and small varicose veins.
The laser precisely targets the affected blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin, ensuring a safe and comfortable treatment. After the procedure, the treated vessels gradually break down and disappear naturally, resulting in a more even complexion and long-lasting results.
Depending on the size and depth of the veins, 1 to 3 sessions may be required, with a short recovery time ranging from a few hours to several days. With minimal downtime and proven effectiveness, the Nd:YAG laser is an excellent option for those struggling with persistent redness or visible blood vessels.

- Expert Opinion
“The Nd:YAG laser is an excellent solution for treating both superficial and deeper blood vessels. In many cases, results are visible after just one session, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking for quick improvement. However, for more extensive cases, multiple treatments may be required. Since new veins can appear over time, maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain long-term results.”

What to Expect?
Consultation
A detailed consultation is essential before starting your laser treatment. During this session, we assess your skin type and condition, review your medical history, and explain the laser procedure, expected results, and aftercare. A test patch may be performed to check how your skin reacts to the laser and to ensure optimal settings.
Preparation
To prepare for your laser treatment, follow these guidelines:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds before treatment.
- Do not wax, pluck, or use hair removal creams on the treated area. Shaving is allowed and recommended before the session.
- Avoid irritating skincare products and arrive with a clean face on the day of treatment.
- Inform us of any medications or health conditions before your appointment.
Immediately After Treatment
- Temporary redness and swelling may occur, similar to a mild sunburn.
- The treated area may temporarily darken, especially with pigmentation treatments.
- Sun protection is essential—use SPF 30+ daily.
- Follow the aftercare instructions for optimal results.
Results
Results develop gradually and depend on the type of vascular lesion treated. Some clients may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired outcome. Maintenance treatments may be necessary to prolong results over time.

Tim Craig2023-09-15As a 49 year old man with no more experience of facial care than smothering myself with "Nivea for Men" I was driven to the world of face care by a very dry, flakey face. So with some trepidation I was booked for a facial with Nancy at SKIN. It was a absolutely fantastic experience - Nancy explained everything that was going on very clearly and steamed, smeared, wiped, squeezed and blasted by face with powerful red light. I've now got a routine to care for my face and no more excessive dryness. Will be back for sure!
Gulsum2023-07-31Een Advanced Skin Facial treatment bij Winke gehad. Ik werd er fijn ontvangen met een korte intro, omdat ik momenteel zwanger ben werden er een aantal dingen van de lijst geschrapt. Hiervoor in de plaats een infrarood therapie gehad, kortom veel aandacht en liefde voor klanten. De fijne producten en uitleg bij elke stap zorgden voor een aangenaam gevoel. Ik ben blij en kom hier zeker weer langs!

Samantha R2023-07-11I don’t often write reviews, but this one deserves attention! After 4 years of struggling with skin issues, i was referred by a friend to Dr Zabaleta and she was adamant that he had made her skin “ridiculously beautiful”! After just 2 treatments I saw some significant improvement. Dr Armando customizes the treatment to the skin type and even considers the impact and reaction of well known products on my tanned, ultra sensitive skin which required a much more delicate approach and with basic products. Previously, I’ve had spent €€€€ on products and treatments over the last 4 years - that were actually causing more damage to my skin, until I discovered Dr Zabaleta and his team. In my intake, he considered medical & lifestyle topics which also helped to spotlight- the true underlying cause of the skin issue. I didn’t feel oversold as the products reccomended are easily accessible and don’t cost a fortunate and he never imposes any of it! He is very direct to even tell you when you don’t need a treatment! 😅 All in all - great customer service and support. A very happy client here and would totally recommend! 6 stars for me! Thank you Team!
