Get answers to common questions about Corrective Light Therapy For Telangiectasis.

Most clients require three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, depending on severity, vessel size, and skin response. Your provider will customize a plan during consultation and monitor improvements.

Most patients feel brief warm snaps or mild stinging; topical numbing and cooled applicators reduce discomfort. Sessions are generally well tolerated and any soreness typically subsides within hours to a day.

Expect brief redness, mild swelling, or darkening of treated vessels that often resolve within days to two weeks. Avoid sun exposure, use SPF, and follow post-care instructions to promote healing and optimize results.

Many treated vessels clear permanently, though new telangiectasias can develop with aging or sun damage. Maintenance sessions may be recommended periodically to sustain an even skin tone and address new or recurring vessels.

Ideal candidates are adults with visible facial or body telangiectasias, generally in good health, without active skin infections. A consultation determines suitability, considering skin type, medical history, and photosensitizing medications.

Avoid tanning, tanning beds, and recent sun exposure for two weeks prior; discontinue photosensitizing medications if advised. Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, and review medications and recent procedures during consultation.
