Beyond hair removal

One system. Multiple skin concerns.

Most clients know the Splendor X as a hair removal laser. Fewer know that the same BLEND X® dual-wavelength platform — the combination of Alexandrite 755nm and Nd:YAG 1064nm — is a highly versatile skin treatment device used across dermatology clinics and aesthetic practices worldwide.

The Alexandrite 755nm wavelength has a high affinity for melanin, making it excellent for targeting pigmented lesions (sun spots, age spots, freckles). The long-pulsed Nd:YAG 1064nm targets haemoglobin in blood vessels, making it one of the gold-standard tools for thread veins, facial redness, and vascular lesions. Together, they can be configured for photorejuvenation — improving skin tone and texture through a single treatment session.

Because the Splendor X is already at Radiant Skin House for laser hair removal, we can offer these additional treatments to clients without requiring a separate device visit.

Nd:YAG 1064nm

Thread Vein & Vascular Lesion Removal

Thread veins, spider veins, broken capillaries and facial redness

The long-pulsed Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength is one of the most clinically established tools for vascular lesions. It selectively targets haemoglobin in the vessel wall, generating heat that causes the vessel to collapse and be reabsorbed — while surrounding skin remains undisturbed.

Important to know

Book a free consultation

We will assess your concern, confirm suitability for Splendor X treatment, perform a patch test, and give you honest expectations before treatment begins.

Conditions treated

Facial thread veins

Fine red or purple vessels on the nose, cheeks, and chin — treated with targeted Nd:YAG energy.

Broken capillaries

Isolated broken capillaries around the nose and cheeks — cleared with precise energy delivery.

Spider veins (leg veins)

Small blue or red superficial leg vessels — the 1064nm wavelength reaches the required depth for effective vascular targeting.

Facial redness (rosacea-associated)

Diffuse vascular redness and visible blood vessels associated with rosacea. We treat the visible cosmetic concern. We do not diagnose or treat rosacea as a medical condition.

Cherry angiomas

Small, bright-red vascular growths on the body — targeted and eliminated with focused laser energy.

Spider veins (leg veins)

Small blue or red superficial leg vessels — the 1064nm wavelength reaches the required depth for effective vascular targeting.
Alex 755nm

Pigmented Lesion Removal

Sun spots, age spots, freckles and post-inflammatory pigmentation

The Alexandrite 755nm wavelength is highly selective for melanin — making it highly effective at targeting the concentrated melanin in superficial pigmented lesions while leaving surrounding skin largely unaffected. The lesion absorbs the energy and gradually lifts away over 1–2 weeks.

Important to know

Melasma (hormonally triggered pigmentation) requires careful assessment — laser treatment may not be appropriate and can worsen some melasma patterns. We will advise honestly at consultation.

We will assess your concern, confirm suitability for Splendor X treatment, perform a patch test, and give you honest expectations before treatment begins.

Conditions treated

Sun spots (solar lentigines)

Flat brown spots caused by UV exposure — one of the most responsive conditions to targeted Alexandrite treatment.

Age spots (liver spots)

Age-related flat pigmented marks on the face, décolletage, and hands — progressively removed over 1–2 sessions.

Freckles

Concentrated melanin deposits that can be lightened or cleared selectively, without affecting surrounding skin.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Dark marks left after spots, inflammation or skin trauma — particularly relevant for medium and darker skin tones. Requires careful parameter selection.

Café-au-lait marks

Flat, pale brown birthmarks — assessed for suitability individually. Results vary by depth and melanin distribution.
Long-pulsed Nd:YAG

Acne Laser Treatment

Active acne and acne-prone skin

Long-pulsed Nd:YAG 1064nm laser treatment is a clinically established approach for active acne. The energy targets the sebaceous gland activity responsible for breakouts and reduces the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria in the skin. Unlike some topical approaches, it works at the follicular level.

Important to know

We treat active acne as a cosmetic concern. We do not diagnose or treat acne as a medical condition. For severe or cystic acne, we may recommend concurrent dermatological assessment. Suitability confirmed at consultation.

We will assess your concern, confirm suitability for Splendor X treatment, perform a patch test, and give you honest expectations before treatment begins.

Conditions treated

Active inflammatory acne

Papules, pustules and inflamed lesions — reduced through targeted Nd:YAG energy at the sebaceous gland level.

Acne-prone oily skin

The laser reduces sebaceous gland hyperactivity, contributing to less oily skin and fewer breakouts over a course.

Acne in darker skin tones

Nd:YAG 1064nm is one of the safest acne laser options for Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin, where many other devices carry higher pigmentation risk.
FAQ

Splendor X skin treatments — your questions answered

We believe in transparency — here are the answers to the questions we hear most often. If yours isn’t here, just ask.

Yes. The Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength in the Splendor X is highly effective for facial thread veins, broken capillaries, and telangiectasias. The long-pulsed Nd:YAG selectively targets haemoglobin in the vessel wall, causing it to collapse while leaving surrounding skin undisturbed. Results vary by vessel size and depth; suitability is confirmed at your free consultation.
Yes. The Alexandrite 755nm wavelength targets melanin in superficial pigmented lesions such as solar lentigines (sun spots), age spots, and freckles. The lesion darkens briefly before naturally lifting away over 1–2 weeks. Results vary by skin type, depth of pigmentation, and aftercare (including sun avoidance). Suitability and a test patch are assessed at consultation.
Most clients see significant improvement in facial thread veins within 1–3 sessions. Smaller vessels may respond in a single session; larger or more numerous vessels may need a course. Leg veins typically require more sessions. We will give you a realistic assessment at your free consultation.
Splendor X can help reduce visible vascular redness and diffuse redness associated with rosacea. We treat the visible cosmetic concern (facial redness and broken capillaries) and do not diagnose or treat rosacea as a medical condition. Suitability and safe parameters are confirmed at consultation.
Yes. The BLEND X® dual-wavelength system is FDA-cleared for all Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI. For darker skin tones, the Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength is favoured as it bypasses surface melanin and targets the treatment structure at depth. All treatments begin with a patch test. Suitability and parameters are assessed individually at your free consultation.
Downtime varies by treatment. Thread vein removal typically involves minimal downtime — the treated area may appear flushed or the vessels may look darker briefly before resolving. Pigmented lesion treatment may cause the lesion to darken and flake over 1–2 weeks. Photorejuvenation and acne treatments typically have minimal downtime. We will explain what to expect for your specific treatment at consultation.
