Iridex DioLite Laser
Target vascular lesions, visible blood vessels, and pigmented lesions.
Rebalancing skin tone and texture.
Iridex DioLite is a medical laser that treats small visible blood vessels and skin lesions. Many people develop broken capillaries or cherry angiomas over time due to sun exposure, ageing, genetics, or skin conditions. While they are usually harmless, they can make the skin look uneven or blotchy.
How does Iridex DioLite laser work?
Iridex DioLite laser works by sending targeted light into visible blood vessels. When this light energy is absorbed, it is converted into heat, which coagulates and seals the unwanted blood vessels and breaks down the targeted vascular lesions. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs and clears these treated vessels, leading to a gradual improvement in skin clarity.
This process leads to:
- Reduction in visible blood vessels and redness
- Clearance of small vascular lesions
- Improved overall skin clarity
- A more even and refined skin appearance
What does Iridex DioLite laser treat?
Iridex DioLite laser is commonly used for precise treatment of vascular lesions and benign skin irregularities, including:
- Broken capillaries
- Facial veins and visible blood vessels
- Cherry angiomas (red spots)
- Venous lakes (lip vascular lesions)
- Small benign vascular growths
This treatment is ideal for small lesions where precision is essential. Your practitioner will assess your skin to determine whether Iridex DioLite laser is the most appropriate treatment for your concern.
Benefits of Iridex DioLite laser
- Minimal damage to surrounding skin
- Suitable for delicate areas (e.g. face, lips)
- High precision for small, localised lesions
What to expect during your treatment.
A handheld diode laser device is used to deliver controlled pulses of energy directly to the targeted vessel or lesion. Most procedures are well tolerated, with patients often describing the sensation as a brief stinging or snapping feeling.
After treatment, the area may appear slightly red or swollen, and some lesions may darken before gradually resolving. Some lesions may respond after a single session, while others require multiple treatments depending on their size and depth. Your practitioner will guide you through a personalised treatment plan to achieve the best possible outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need?
Some lesions may improve after a single treatment, while others may require multiple sessions depending on their size, depth, and type. Your practitioner will advise a personalised treatment plan.
Why do broken capillaries and red spots appear?
These changes often develop over time due to factors such as sun exposure, ageing, genetics, and underlying skin sensitivity. While they are usually harmless, they can contribute to a red or uneven skin appearance.
Can the treated vessels come back?
Once a vessel is successfully treated, it typically does not return. However, new vessels can develop over time due to ongoing factors such as sun exposure, genetics, or skin conditions.
Can multiple concerns be treated in one session?
Yes, in many cases multiple small lesions or vessels can be treated in a single session depending on size, location, and treatment plan.
