Does red light have any affect on the following?

1. Permanent spider viens?
2. semi permanent dilaterd veins/veins that only show when slightly flushed?

Hi there

I haven't tried RLT so cannot say, but I have found vbeam non-purpuric laser AWESOME for getting rid of broken capillaries. I believe IPL also has very positive effects.

It hasn't helped my spider veins but it has helped with pore size and flushing.

Hi sorry to butt in i have a red light unit (handheld) 660nm i think and it comes with goggles and instructions ect and it says hold next to skin and i did and it sort of triggerd a flush on my face which went away after a few moments. So i now hold it much further away but again when i hold it close its happens again :s i'm confused

i had swine flu at the start of the year and was held up in bed for 2 days, on occasions i got shivery and turned on my halogen heater on occasions, i guess it was about a meter away on a low setting ( 1 bar) a curious thing happened it faded the spider spider naevus for about 5 days,
