Viora V-Nd:YAG is an advanced laser treatment designed to address deeper vascular concerns—such as visible facial veins, spider veins, redness, and persistent flushing. Its longer wavelength allows it to safely target blood vessels beneath the surface while protecting the surrounding skin, offering a refined solution for clearer, more even-toned skin.
The Nd:YAG laser delivers focused, penetrative energy that is absorbed by hemoglobin within the targeted vessels. This controlled heating causes the vessel walls to collapse gently, allowing the body to clear them naturally over time. Because the wavelength bypasses surface pigment, it can be suitable for a wider range of skin tones compared with traditional light-based therapies.

Clients with vascular concerns—such as visible veins, redness, or spider veins—often benefit from this treatment. It is also a good option for skin tones that may not be ideal candidates for IPL.
Nd:YAG technology is known for its safety on a wider range of skin tones because it bypasses surface pigment. A consultation ensures the best settings for your skin.
