Pro Yellow Laser – the targeted, gentle way to treat facial redness
Facial redness and rosacea are common skin concerns that people come to our experts for help with.
For many, facial redness and rosacea go hand in hand with skin sensitivity, so it’s vital that our approach to treatment is both precise and gentle. This is where the Pro Yellow Laser excels. Its advanced technology allows us to target the blood vessels responsible for facial redness whilst protecting the delicate surrounding skin.
Why redness needs a targeted approach
Redness often develops when superficial blood vessels become dilated or inflamed.
Common conditions causing facial redness include rosacea, vascular lesions or reactive skin.
Traditional skincare lasers can be too aggressive for sensitive complexions, as the heat produced can risk skin irritation or post-inflammatory pigmentation – especially with more sensitive skin.
The Pro Yellow Laser was designed to overcome this issue through its unique yellow wavelength.
The science behind the yellow wavelength
Traditional green lasers typically operate with a wavelength of 532nm (nanometres). The Pro Yellow Laser uses a highly targeted 577nm wavelength of pure yellow light. This is scientifically proven to be the most effective for treating skin redness and vascular conditions.
By penetrating more deeply into the skin, the Pro Yellow Laser allows us to treat visible surface redness and the underlying causes. This means that the treatment is not only safer, but longer-lasting and suitable for a wider range of skin tones, including both light and dark complexions.
Yellow light is photoselective, which means that it precisely targets the haemoglobin in red blood cells, while having minimal impact on the surrounding skin. The laser energy is drawn directly to the surface blood vessels rather than the surrounding tissue. This process is known as photothermolysis.
The yellow laser energy causes the vessels to break down safely, without damaging the surrounding skin, after which the body’s natural healing process clears them away.

Precision and comfort built-in
The Pro Yellow Laser technology at Hannah London features two specialised handpieces to enable us to tailor the treatment to the individual patient’s needs, along with advanced cooling technology.
Scanner
The scanner enables us to treat larger areas of skin in a uniform, grid-like pattern to ensure that the entire area of affected skin is gently treated for overall evenness in skin tone and texture.
Spot applicator
The spot applicator enables precisely targeted application of the yellow laser energy to focus on smaller lesions and specific clusters of thread veins or areas of rosacea and redness.
Cooling technology
Built-in cooling technology reduces heat on the skin’s surface and lowers the risk of irritation or damage to surrounding tissue.
A versatile treatment
The Pro Yellow Laser is suitable for most skin tones, from Fitzpatrick I to V.
Alongside the treatment of facial redness, rosacea and vascular conditions, the Pro Yellow Laser is a highly effective treatment for a range of other skin concerns:
Pigmentation, melasma and sun damage
The Pro Yellow Laser precisely treats areas of pigmentation, including melasma and sun damage. The yellow wavelength targets melanin in the skin and breaks it down, while reducing the blood supply to vessels that cause the pigmentation.
Acne and post-acne redness
Pro Yellow Laser treatment is highly effective for active acne as it combats both bacteria and inflammation to reduce breakouts. It also improves post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), which is the redness that can remain after acne heals.
Overall skin rejuvenation
Through reaching the deeper structural layers of the skin, the Pro Yellow Laser stimulates your skin’s natural healing response. This encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, which are essential for firm, smooth skin.
Visible results that last
Our patients typically notice improvements from the first Pro Yellow Laser treatment session, with optimal results achieved through a course of treatment – usually four sessions.
Following Pro Yellow Laser treatment, patients experience a clearer, smoother complexion with fewer marks. They often notice an overall healthier glow and long-term improvements in the quality and texture of their skin – all with minimal downtime.
