Removal of vascular lesions – laser vessel closure and sclerotherapy
What are vascular lesions and how do they form? Vascular lesions are dilated or damaged blood vessels visible on the skin, known as "spider veins," erythema or hemangiomas. They form as a result of the weakened blood vessel walls, often under the influence of genetic factors, hormones, sun exposure, temperature changes or skin aging processes. They are most common on the face, legs and décolleté, affecting not only aesthetics, but also the comfort of patients' lives.
How does it work?
Methods for Treating Vascular Lesions at DAGDERM
Our clinics offer two effective methods for treating vascular lesions:
Laser Closure of Vessels
The procedure involves directing a laser beam at the affected vessels. The light is absorbed by hemoglobin, causing coagulation and closure of the vessel. Over time, the closed vessel is absorbed by the body.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a special solution into the affected vessel, causing it to contract and close. Over time, the vessel is absorbed by the body.
Indications for laser vascular closure:
Deciding on the optimal therapy is crucial to achieving satisfactory results. Listed below are detailed eligibility criteria for the two main vascular lesion removal methods available at DAGDERM clinics.
Indications for laser vascular closure:
- telangiectasias (vascular spider veins)
- facial erythema
- port wine stain vascular malformations
- cherry angiomas
- rosacea without inflammatory lesions
- skin photodamage
Indications for sclerotherapy:
- varicose veins of the lower limbs, up to 8 mm in diameter
- vascular spider veins on legs
- hemangiomas
Course of treatment
1
Laser vascular closure
The treatment takes between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the area. No anesthesia is required. During the procedure, the patient may feel a slight stinging or burning sensation. For optimal results, a series of 3-5 treatments at 4-6 week intervals is recommended
2
Sclerotherapy
The treatment takes up to 60 minutes. It is performed on an outpatient basis, without the need for skin incisions. After the procedure, the patient may experience slight discomfort.
Recommendations after the procedure
Proper aftercare is extremely important for optimal results and quick recovery. After both laser vascular closure and sclerotherapy, certain recommendations should be followed to help minimize the risk of complications and speed up the healing process.
After the laser vascular closure procedure, the following guidelines should be observed:
- avoid sun exposure for at least 6 weeks
- use creams with SPF 50+ sunscreen
- avoid saunas, hot baths, and intense exercise for several days
After sclerotherapy treatment, it is recommended to:
- wear compression stockings for 3–4 weeks
- avoid hot baths and intense exercise
- use creams with SPF 50+ sunscreen
Contraindications:
Before proceeding with any vascular lesion removal procedure, a detailed consultation is conducted to rule out any contraindications.
Contraindications to laser vascular closure:
- pregnancy and breastfeeding
- fresh tan
- skin infections at the treatment site
- taking photosensitizing drugs
- certain autoimmune disorders
Contraindications to sclerotherapy:
- pregnancy and breastfeeding

Effects
Effects of laser vascular closure treatment:
the first effects are visible after about 3 weeks. In the case of single capillaries, the effect is permanent, but new lesions may appear in predisposed individuals, requiring further treatments.
Effects of sclerotherapy:
The effects are visible after a few weeks. In case of larger lesions, it may be necessary to repeat the treatment.
