What it is
Vasculaze™ by InMode is a 1064 nm diode laser for spider veins and other small, visible vessels close to the surface of the skin. It heats the targeted vessel, which the body then gradually clears, and contact cooling helps protect the skin.
It's used on the legs, from the thighs to the ankles, and on the face, for fine vessels on the nose and cheeks. It's meant for small, superficial vessels; larger or bulging varicose veins need a vascular evaluation and a different approach.

Why patients choose it

- Non-surgical, with no incisions
- Settings tailored to the size, color and location of each vein
- Results develop gradually as the body clears the treated vessels

What to consider
- Treated veins take time to fade, and more than one session may be needed
- Temporary redness, swelling, discoloration or sensitivity can occur
- Complete clearance can't be guaranteed, and new spider veins may appear over time
- Larger or deeper veins may need a different medical evaluation or treatment
- Results vary with your veins, skin type and other factors
- Tanned or darker skin may need extra care, because of the risk of burns or pigment changes
Before your visit
- Avoid tanning and strong sun for 2 to 4 weeks, and use SPF 30 or higher
- Tell us about any medications or supplements you take
- Don't stop a prescribed blood thinner without your doctor's approval
- For the face, stop retinoids and exfoliating acids for a few days before, as directed
- Arrive with clean skin: no lotion, makeup or fragrance on the area
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the day
After your treatment
- Use a cool compress if you feel discomfort
- Wear compression garments if your provider recommends them
- Protect the area from the sun and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen
- Avoid strenuous exercise for a few days; gentle walking is usually encouraged
- Don't pick, scratch or rub the treated areas
- Call us for blistering or worsening pain. New swelling or pain in one leg needs urgent medical care
Your provider will give you instructions for your own treatment plan.
Frequently asked questions
What are spider veins?
Small, visible blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. They may look red, purple or bluish and often appear on the legs.
Does Vasculaze™ hurt?
You may feel a brief snapping or warming sensation with each pulse. Built-in cooling helps make treatment more comfortable. Sensitivity varies with the area and the size of the vessel.
When will I see results?
Results develop gradually as the body clears the treated vessels. Right after treatment the veins may look darker before they begin to fade.
Will my spider veins disappear completely?
Vasculaze™ may reduce the appearance of treated veins, but complete clearance can't be guaranteed. Treatment also doesn't prevent new spider veins from forming.
Can it treat large or bulging veins?
It's intended for small, superficial veins. Larger, deeper or bulging veins may need a medical vascular evaluation and a different treatment.
Is it the same as sclerotherapy?
No. Vasculaze™ uses energy to target the vessel, while sclerotherapy injects a solution into the vein. The right option depends on the type, size and location of your veins.
Can it treat broken capillaries on the face?
Yes, in suitable patients: fine visible vessels on the nose, cheeks and chin. For some very fine red capillaries or general redness, IPL may suit you better.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on the number, size and type of veins. Some people see improvement after one session, others need several.
Can new spider veins appear after treatment?
Yes. Treating existing veins doesn't prevent new ones from forming.
Can I exercise afterward?
You may be advised to limit strenuous exercise or activities that heat the area for a short time. Gentle walking is usually encouraged.
