Prep Your Skin 21 Day Kit

Vein and vascular concerns we treat at GVSL.

Spider veins, varicose veins, broken capillaries, rosacea, redness and angiomas can all look quite different, but they all involve the blood vessels in or beneath the skin.
Some show up on the legs, others on the face, and each one may need a different approach. That’s why every treatment begins with an assessment with our doctors, so we can work out what’s going on and what may help.

Vein and vascular treatment is exactly what GVSL is known for, and we’ve been doing it in Geelong since 1991.

Not sure what you’re dealing with? Book an initial assessment and we’ll take a look.

What actually happens when you laser a red spot?

Those small round red spots that pop up on the skin are called angiomas (sometimes known as cherry angiomas). They’re made up of tiny clusters of blood vessels and are very common, especially as we get older.

Laser treatment works by targeting the blood vessels in the spot and breaking them down, while the skin around it is left alone. Vascular laser at GVSL can remove angiomas, often in one session, with minimal downtime.
Every treatment begins with an assessment by one of our doctors or dermal clinicians, to confirm the spot is benign and suitable for laser.

What does XPL actually do?

Expert Pulsed Light is the newest generation of IPL, running on our Stellar M22 by @lumenis_aesthetics_au . It works by sending a broad spectrum of light into the skin, where that energy is absorbed by colour. The browns from melanin in pigment, and the reds from haemoglobin in the small vessels.

Because it targets colour rather than one single concern, pigment and redness can be addressed in the same session.

Every skin is different, so it starts with a consultation and a test patch with one of our dermal clinicians.

What actually causes spider veins?

It comes down to the valves inside your veins. When those valves weaken or become damaged, blood can’t flow the way it should, so it pools in the vein and becomes visible through the skin.

Genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy and spending long periods on your feet are all common triggers. So if your mum had spider veins, there’s a good chance you’ve inherited that tendency too.

The good news? They’re very treatable. Vein treatment is exactly what GVSL is known for, and we’ve been doing it in Geelong since 1991. Every treatment is performed by our doctors.

If you’ve been noticing spider veins and wondering what to do about them, book an initial vein assessment and we’ll take a look.

This is what sets a doctor-led clinic apart.

At GVSL, every treatment is assessed and overseen by our doctors. That means when you come to us with a skin concern, you`re getting a medical opinion, not just beauty advice.

From spider veins to mole removal, radiofrequency microneedling to laser for stretch marks and scars, what you`re seeing in this video is clinical care. Treatments that require a trained medical eye, performed by doctors, nurses and dermal clinicians with university degrees.

Ever noticed small raised bumps appearing on your face or neck and assumed they were just moles or skin tags?

They’re often DPN (Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra). They’re harmless, they tend to run in families, and they’re most common on deeper skin tones. They are not serious nor cancerous, but can be easily removed for cosmetic reasons.

The K-Laser removes them using a 445nm blue wavelength. That light is absorbed by the pigment in the lesion rather than the skin around it, so it works with precision down to 0.3mm. No cutting and no stitches. Tiny scabs form and flake away naturally over 5 to 7 days.

Because DPN can look similar to other skin lesions, every spot is assessed by our doctors before anything is treated.
