Reduce visible veins. Calm redness. Restore even-toned skin.
Visible veins, broken capillaries, and diffuse redness can make your complexion look uneven and aged. At Skinovatio Ohio, we offer advanced vascular laser treatments using the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus® —a gold-standard laser platform designed to safely and effectively target unwanted blood vessels without damaging surrounding skin.
This non-invasive treatment is FDA-cleared to treat a wide range of vascular concerns, from spider veins on the face and legs to diffuse redness, rosacea, and port wine stains. The result is clearer, more even-toned skin that restores your confidence.
The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus® uses targeted laser energy to treat a wide range of vascular conditions:
| Condition | Description | Common Areas |
|---|---|---|
| Spider Veins | Small, visible red, blue, or purple veins near the surface of the skin | Face, legs, thighs |
| Facial Vessels | Visible broken capillaries on the face | Cheeks, nose |
| Rosacea | Chronic redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels | Cheeks, nose, chin, forehead |
| Telangiectasia | Small, widened blood vessels visible on the skin | Face, legs |
| Port Wine Stains | Birthmarks caused by abnormal blood vessel formation | Any area |
| Hemangiomas | Benign growths of blood vessels | Any area |
| Venous Lakes | Soft, blue or purple compressible vascular lesions | Lips, ears, face |
| Diffuse Redness | General redness or flushing of the skin | Face, neck, chest |
The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus® uses dual-wavelength technology—755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG—to precisely target vascular lesions. The 1064nm wavelength is particularly effective for vascular treatments because it penetrates deeper into the skin and is absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood.
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Targeted Energy | The laser delivers short pulses of light energy into the skin, targeting problematic blood vessels |
| 2. Vessel Destruction | The light energy is absorbed by hemoglobin, heating and destroying the unwanted blood vessel |
| 3. Skin Protection | The Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) delivers a cooling burst of cryogen before and after each pulse, protecting the upper layers of skin |
| 4. Natural Clearance | The destroyed vessels are gradually absorbed and cleared by the body’s lymphatic system over several weeks |
The GentleMax Pro Plus is the premier laser in Candela’s Gentle Pro Series, known as the #1 dermatologist-recommended brand for laser treatments.

| Dual-Wavelength Technology | 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG lasers for versatility across all skin types |

| Proven Safety | Over 20 years of clinically proven performance across all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI) |
Our medical team evaluates your vascular concerns, assesses your skin type, and determines whether you are a good candidate for vascular laser treatment. We discuss your goals, expectations, and create a personalized treatment plan.
We cleanse the treatment area and apply cooling gel if needed. The GentleMax Pro Plus handpiece is placed over the target area, and short pulses of light are delivered to the problematic blood vessels. The Dynamic Cooling Device protects your skin throughout.
Immediate: Treated vessels may appear darker or more prominent initially; this is a normal sign of vessel destruction
24–48 hours: Mild redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves quickly
1–2 weeks: The treated vessels gradually fade as the body clears them
No downtime: You can return to normal activities immediately
| Milestone | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Immediate | Treated vessels may appear darker or more prominent initially |
| 1–2 Weeks | Visible lightening of treated vessels |
| 2–4 Weeks | Significant reduction in redness and visible vessels |
| 4–8 Weeks | Optimal results; multiple treatments may be needed for best results |
Note: The number of treatments needed depends on the condition and individual response. Some patients see improvement after one session, while others may require a series of 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Does vascular laser treatment hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snap or pinch, similar to a rubber band. The Dynamic Cooling Device provides significant comfort by cooling the skin before and after each pulse.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on the condition being treated and your individual response. Some patients see significant improvement after one session, while others may need a series of 2–3 treatments.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes. The GentleMax Pro Plus is FDA-cleared for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin.
When will I see results?
You may notice results within 1–2 weeks as the treated vessels are cleared by your body. Optimal results are typically seen within 4–8 weeks.
Is there downtime?
No. You can return to your normal activities immediately. Some temporary redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves within 24–48 hours.
Are spider veins permanent after treatment?
Treated vessels are permanently destroyed and will not return. However, new vessels can form over time, so ongoing maintenance may be needed.
Can I combine vascular treatment with other treatments?
Yes. Vascular laser treatment is often combined with IPL, chemical peels, or other rejuvenation treatments for comprehensive skin health.
