Red Spots on Skin Toronto

Red Spots on Skin

There are a number of laser red spot removal systems available, and at SpaMedica we offer one of the widest arrays of red spot lasers in Canada, allowing our cosmetic dermatologists to select the most appropriate technology for each patient's specific skin type and concern. The most effective approach to treating red spots has evolved significantly with advances in laser technology, and today high-tech laser systems allow for precise targeting of unwanted, cosmetically displeasing red spots with minimal impact on the surrounding skin.

Laser red spot removal works by selecting the appropriate laser and wavelength of energy for the type of red spot being treated, ensuring that the energy is absorbed by the targeted vessels or pigment while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.

What Causes Red Spots on the Skin?

Red spots can develop as a result of a number of contributing factors. A genetic predisposition to vascular irregularities is one common cause, as is hormonal fluctuation involving alterations in estrogen or progesterone levels, such as those that occur during pregnancy or with the use of certain oral contraceptives. Prolonged sun exposure and photoaging are also significant contributors, as cumulative UV damage over time can lead to the development of visible red spots and broken capillaries on the face, neck, chest, and hands.

Red Spot Removal Treatments at SpaMedica

FotoFacial: The FotoFacial uses high-energy intense pulsed light (IPL) delivered gently to the skin to target imperfections including red spots on the face, neck, chest, and hands. The light energy is absorbed by the targeted vessels, causing them to break down and be naturally cleared by the body over the days and weeks following treatment.

Fractional CO2 Laser: The fractional CO2 laser treats both superficial and deeper skin layers to rejuvenate, tighten, and brighten the skin. It is particularly effective for patients whose red spots are accompanied by broader concerns such as uneven texture, photoaging, or skin laxity.

Fractional Erbium Laser: Erbium laser skin resurfacing removes the upper layer of the skin to reveal smoother, more even-toned skin beneath. It is a well-established option for patients looking to address red spots alongside surface irregularities and signs of photoaging.
