REDNESS ISN'T ALWAYS JUST REDNESS
SOMETIMES THE THING YOU SEE IS AN ACTUAL VESSEL
Diffuse flushing and one defined blue or red vessel are not necessarily the same problem.
Nordlys Nd:YAG gives us a targeted 1064 nm vascular option for selected vessels that require a more vessel-specific approach.
Instead of treating an entire field of skin, we can assess the vessel itself — its colour, diameter, depth and location.
See the vessel. Understand the vessel. Then decide whether to target it.
THE VASCULAR STORY
TARGET THE BLOOD
RESPECT THE SURROUNDINGS
Vascular laser energy is selected to interact with blood inside the targeted vessel.
Controlled energy is delivered to the vessel while treatment parameters are selected according to the vessel and surrounding skin.
The vessel is the target. Everything around it deserves respect.

THE VASCULAR EDIT
WHICH VESSEL ARE WE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT?
Vessel size, colour, depth and location all change the treatment conversation.
BROKEN CAPILLARIES
Defined facial vessels and selected visible capillaries may require a targeted vascular approach.

ND:YAG OR SWT / IPL?

WE DON'T TREAT “RED.”
WE TREAT WHAT'S CREATING IT
A visible vessel, diffuse redness, rosacea-prone skin and post-acne redness can all appear red — but they do not automatically need the same treatment.
Colour is the clue. Assessment gives it meaning.
VESSEL-SPECIFIC, ALWAYS
SIZE. DEPTH. COLOUR. LOCATION. THEY ALL GET A VOTE.
Vascular laser treatment is not one setting repeated from vessel to vessel.
A fine red facial vessel does not behave like a larger blue vein.
We consider vessel diameter, colour, depth, anatomical location, skin tone and treatment history before selecting treatment parameters.
Same wavelength. Different vessel. Different strategy.

PERIORBITAL VEINS
THE EYE AREA DESERVES ITS OWN CONVERSATION
Prominent blue veins around the temples or eye area can be especially visible because the surrounding skin is thin.
Long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG may be considered for selected periorbital veins when the vessel, anatomy and treatment plan make it appropriate.
This is precision vascular work — not a casual “zap the vein” appointment.
Around the eyes, assessment and protection matter even more.
AFTER VASCULAR LASER
LET THE VESSEL SETTLE.
Post-treatment response depends on the vessel and treatment area.
REDNESS
Temporary localized redness may occur after treatment.
SWELLING
Mild localized swelling can occur depending on the area.
COLOUR CHANGE
A treated vessel may temporarily look different as it responds.
REASSESS
Some vessels may need additional treatment sessions.
AFTERCARE
PROTECT THE AREA. DON'T OVERWORK IT.
GENTLE CARE FIRST.
If the area feels temporarily warm or sensitive, keep things simple.
- Avoid unnecessary friction
- Keep skin comfortably hydrated
- Do not pick or manipulate the area
- Follow your personalized instructions
SUN + HEAT MATTER.
Treated skin deserves protection while the vascular response settles.
- Use appropriate SPF on exposed areas
- Avoid excessive heat when instructed
- Respect the recovery window
- Contact us with unexpected reactions
GOOD TO KNOW
NORDLYS VASCULAR FAQ
WHAT IS NORDLYS ND:YAG VASCULAR LASER? +
Nordlys includes a long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser applicator used for selected vascular concerns.
WHAT CAN VASCULAR LASER TREAT? +
Depending on vessel characteristics and candidacy, treatment may be considered for selected visible facial vessels, broken capillaries, telangiectasia, spider veins and periorbital veins.
IS THIS THE SAME AS NORDLYS IPL? +
No. Nordlys SWT / IPL and Nd:YAG vascular laser are different technologies. The appropriate option depends on what is actually creating the visible concern.
CAN YOU TREAT VEINS AROUND THE EYES? +
Selected periorbital or temporal veins may be candidates for Nd:YAG treatment. Careful assessment and appropriate eye protection are essential.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED? +
Treatment number depends on vessel size, colour, depth, location and response. Some vessels may require more than one session.
CAN VESSELS APPEAR AGAIN? +
Treated vessels may improve, but new visible vessels can develop over time due to genetics, sun exposure, hormonal factors and other influences.
IS EVERY REDNESS CONCERN A VASCULAR LASER CONCERN? +
No. Diffuse redness, inflammation, rosacea-prone skin and defined visible vessels may require different strategies.
READY TO CLEAR THE VESSEL?
LET'S FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT.
Broken capillary? Blue periorbital vein? Spider vein? Diffuse redness?
We'll determine whether Nordlys Nd:YAG is the right route — or whether another vascular or light-based treatment makes more sense.
See the vessel first. Choose the laser second.
