Vascular Lesions & Vein Laser Treatment in Beverly Hills
Targeted Treatment for Visible Veins and Vascular Marks
Spider veins, visible leg veins, venous lakes, and other vascular marks can create noticeable red, blue, or purple areas on the face or body.
At LA RIUSH, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus to treat selected vascular concerns with targeted laser energy. The treatment is designed to heat the visible vessel while minimizing impact on the surrounding skin, allowing the vessel to fade gradually over time.
Every appointment begins with an assessment of the vessel’s size, color, depth, location, and surrounding skin. This helps determine whether cosmetic laser treatment is appropriate and which treatment approach best fits your concern.

Advanced Technology: Candela GentleMax Pro Plus
At LA RIUSH, vascular treatments are performed using the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, an advanced dual-wavelength laser platform.
The system combines 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths, giving the provider flexibility to tailor treatment according to the type, color, depth, and location of the visible vessel, as well as the client’s skin characteristics.
GentleMax Pro Plus is cleared for the photocoagulation of selected dermatological vascular lesions. Its vascular applications include concerns such as telangiectasias, spider veins, leg veins, venous lakes, rosacea-related vessels, and port-wine stains.

Why We Use GentleMax Pro Plus
Dual-Wavelength Technology
Alexandrite and Nd wavelengths provide flexibility for different vessels and skin characteristics.
Precise Targeting
Controlled laser pulses focus energy on the selected vessel while minimizing impact on surrounding skin.

Integrated Cooling
Candela’s Dynamic Cooling Device helps protect the skin surface and improve treatment comfort.
What to Expect
Before Treatment
Your provider examines the visible vessel or vascular lesion and determines whether cosmetic laser treatment is appropriate.
You should discuss:
- Recent sun exposure or tanning
- Prescription and over-the-counter medications
- Supplements that may affect bruising or healing
- Previous laser, vein, or vascular treatments
- Your medical and skin history
- Any pain, swelling, bleeding, warmth, or recent change in the area
Large, raised, painful, or symptomatic leg veins may require medical evaluation rather than routine cosmetic laser treatment.
During Treatment
The treatment area is cleaned and appropriate eye protection is provided.
GentleMax Pro Plus settings are selected according to the vessel, treatment area, and surrounding skin. Controlled laser pulses are then delivered to the targeted vessels. Integrated cooling helps protect the skin surface and improve comfort.
Treatment time depends on the number of vessels and the size of the area being treated.
Immediately After Treatment
The treated area may temporarily appear:
- Red or slightly swollen
- Warmer or more sensitive
- Darker, purple, or mildly bruised
- More visible before beginning to fade
Your provider will give you aftercare instructions based on the treatment area and vascular concern.
Before Your Appointment
To help prepare your skin for treatment:
- Avoid significant sun exposure and tanning before your appointment
- Do not use self-tanning products on the treatment area
- Tell your provider about all medications and supplements you take
- Do not stop prescribed medication unless instructed by the prescribing provider
- Tell your provider about previous vein, laser, or skin treatments
- Arrive with clean skin where possible
- Avoid makeup, lotions, oils, or other products on the treatment area unless instructed otherwise
Preparation instructions may vary according to the area and type of vessel being treated.
Treatment Aftercare
After treatment:
- Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher as directed
- Keep the area clean and use gentle skincare products
- Avoid picking, scratching, or removing any crusting
- Follow any temporary restrictions concerning exercise, heat, or hot baths
- Wear compression garments only if recommended for your treatment
- Contact LA RIUSH if you experience an unexpected or worsening skin reaction
Visible vessels may temporarily look darker before gradually fading. Results and recovery time vary according to the vessel and treatment performed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What vascular concerns can GentleMax Pro Plus treat?
GentleMax Pro Plus has applications for selected vascular concerns, including telangiectasias, spider veins, leg veins, venous lakes, rosacea-related vessels, and port-wine stains. Treatment suitability must be assessed individually.
Which vascular treatments can I book at LA RIUSH?
Current options include small and medium spider-vein areas, larger areas of selected leg veins, targeted vascular lesions, venous lakes on the lip or face, and consultation-led port-wine stain treatments.
How does vascular laser treatment work?
Laser energy is directed toward the targeted vessel. The energy produces controlled heat within the vessel, which helps close or damage it so that its appearance can fade gradually as the body processes the treated area.
Can you treat just one small visible vessel?
Yes. A small-area or targeted appointment may be suitable for an individual vessel or localized vascular mark after assessment.
What if I have multiple spider veins?
A medium-area or large-area treatment may be more appropriate when several vessels or clusters are present.
Can you treat large or bulging varicose veins?
Cosmetic surface laser treatment is not appropriate for every leg vein. Large, raised, painful, swollen, or symptomatic veins should receive appropriate medical assessment before cosmetic treatment is considered.
Can you treat a venous lake on the lip or face?
Selected venous lakes may be suitable for targeted laser treatment. The area is assessed first to confirm that the lesion appears appropriate for cosmetic treatment.
Do you treat port-wine stains?
Port-wine stain appointments require a consultation. Treatment is customized to the size, color, location, and history of the area, and a series of sessions may be recommended.
How quickly will I see results?
Some small vessels may respond quickly, while others gradually darken and fade over several weeks. Larger or deeper vessels may take longer to improve.
Will I need more than one treatment?
Possibly. The number of sessions depends on the vessel’s size, depth, location, and response to treatment. Some concerns require a series of treatments for the desired improvement.
Does vascular laser treatment hurt?
Sensation varies between treatment areas and clients. Many people describe a brief warm or snapping sensation. GentleMax Pro Plus incorporates cooling technology designed to improve comfort.
Is there downtime?
Many clients return to normal activities quickly. Temporary redness, swelling, sensitivity, darkening, or a bruised appearance can occur after treatment.
Can I have treatment if I have a tan?
Recent tanning or significant sun exposure can affect treatment suitability and laser settings. Tell your provider about recent sun exposure before proceeding.

Kimberly Foster
As a photographer, I’m constantly studying faces, good lighting, bad lighting—all of it. What impressed me about LA RIUSH is that the results didn’t look ‘done.’ They looked like I had a great night’s sleep and maybe a week off work. Exactly the kind of natural improvement I never thought I’d get.
Janet O’Malley
I walked in exhausted after a long week, and walked out feeling like someone hit a reset button. My face looks softer and more awake. The best part? The experience itself is relaxing and friendly—not stiff or overly formal.
Maria Estevez
I talk to people all day for work, so I really appreciate when someone actually listens back. That’s what happened at LA RIUSH. They let me share what bothered me, what I didn’t want, and then shaped a plan around that. The results feel like me, just a little brighter and more energized.
Hannah Brooks
As someone who works in healthcare, I can tell when people are just going through the motions. LA RIUSH is the opposite. They take their time, chat with you, check in constantly, and make the whole process feel easy. My coworkers keep asking what I changed. Honestly? Just this.
Emily Vargas
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the experience as much as I did. The team at LA RIUSH treated me like someone they genuinely wanted to help, not just another booking. We laughed, talked about weekend plans, and they explained everything like a friend would—clear, simple, no pressure. My skin looks fresher, but more importantly, I actually feel better walking out of there.
Noor Rahman
I was nervous since it was my first time getting any kind of treatment, but they made it feel normal from the moment I walked in. We chatted about work, skincare, random things—you forget you’re even in a treatment room. And the results? Love them.
Enjoy validated parking for your convenience.
