What Are Redness & Vein Treatments?
Redness and vein treatments are non-invasive procedures designed to reduce visible blood vessels, diffuse redness, and vascular imperfections on the face and body. These treatments use advanced laser and light-based technologies to target unwanted vessels and pigment while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
At Chicago Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology, our expert team uses BBL HEROic and Excel V to:
- Minimize facial redness and flushing
- Treat broken capillaries, spider veins, and vascular lesions
- Improve overall skin tone and clarity
The goal is to restore a more even, smooth complexion safely, effectively, and with minimal downtime, giving your skin a healthier, rejuvenated appearance.

BBL® HERO™️
BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output delivers powerful skin resurfacing and rejuvenation with little to no downtime. By gently heating the skin’s surface, it stimulates collagen renewal and cellular turnover to smooth texture, refine pores, and restore a radiant, even tone. The result is healthier, fresher-looking skin that glows from within.

Excel® V Laser
Excel V is a targeted vascular laser that specifically treats visible blood vessels, cherry angiomas, and vascular lesions. It delivers precise energy to affected areas, reducing redness and improving skin clarity while preserving surrounding tissue. This treatment is often combined with BBL HEROic for comprehensive vascular and redness management.
