Venous Lake
Laser Treatment

A venous lake is a small, soft, dark blue or purple papule caused by a dilated superficial venule — most commonly found on the lower lip, ears, or face. Benign and painless, they are linked to cumulative sun exposure and tend to appear in adults over 50. At 86INK, we treat venous lakes with the Candela Nordlys® Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser handpiece — an FDA-cleared, non-surgical approach that targets hemoglobin in the dilated vessel, collapsing it without damaging the surrounding skin. Most venous lakes clear completely in a single treatment with zero downtime.
