UNDERSTANDING Broken Blood Vessel Treatment (Gentlemax Pro)
Erase the Red:
Precision Clarity for Visible Veins
Nothing interrupts a clear complexion like “spider veins” around the nose or persistent redness on the cheeks. For our patients in Birmingham, these tiny red lines can make the skin look perpetually irritated or aged. Using the GentleMax Pro®, we can effectively “erase” these vessels in just one or two quick sessions.
Why Vessels Become Visible
These “broken” vessels are actually telangiectasia—capillaries that have lost their elasticity and remained permanently dilated. Because they are close to the surface, they create a visible “web” of red or purple. They won’t go away on their own, but they respond beautifully to targeted light energy that can reach the vessel without harming the skin around it.
Vascular Excellence at Inverness Dermatology
Our vascular protocols (ICD-10: I87.2) prioritize safety and efficiency, ensuring the vessel is treated at the precise depth required for clearance.
PHYSICIAN-LED AESTHETICS
A Natural Approach
Board-certified dermatologists are specially trained to diagnose and provide customized treatments.
How Treatment Works
The GentleMax Pro® utilizes Long-Pulse Laser technology. The 755nm or 1064nm wavelength is attracted to the color of the blood. As the laser hits the vessel, it causes coagulation, effectively “welding” the vessel shut. Once the blood flow is stopped, the body naturally reabsorbs the vessel over the following weeks, leaving the skin clear and the redness gone.
The Physician-Led Advantage
Laser vascular treatment requires deep understanding of skin anatomy, vascular depth, and laser physics. Our approach prioritizes:
-
Board-certified dermatology oversight
-
Customized laser settings based on skin type
-
Advanced cooling technology for safety and comfort
-
Conservative, precise targeting to minimize risk
Because vascular lasers operate at specific wavelengths, proper training and medical evaluation are critical to achieving optimal clearance while protecting pigment and surrounding skin.
Broken Blood Vessel Treatment (Gentlemax Pro) FAQ
Clinical answers from our board-certified dermatologists.
Small facial vessels may clear in 1–2 sessions. Larger or deeper vessels, especially on the legs, may require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to a rubber band. The device includes cooling technology to improve comfort.
Downtime is minimal. Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually resolves quickly. You can typically return to normal activities the same day.
When performed by trained medical professionals using appropriate settings, GentleMax Pro is considered safe and effective for vascular concerns.
Treated vessels are permanently collapsed and absorbed by the body. However, new vessels can develop over time due to genetics, sun exposure, or rosacea.
