We proudly serve clients throughout Calgary and surrounding neighborhoods such as Marda Loop, Mount Royal, Bank View, and beyond.

Target Visible Veins with Precision While Protecting Your Skin’s Natural Beauty
Our vein removal treatment is specifically designed to address common vascular concerns, including spider veins, small facial veins, nose veins, angiomas, and hemangiomas. The treatment uses focused laser energy to gently heat the targeted blood vessels, causing them to collapse and gradually fade from view. Thanks to its precision tip, the device only affects the vessel itself, leaving the surrounding skin untouched and undamaged.
Results may be visible immediately, with continued improvement over the following 2 to 4 weeks as the treated veins naturally dissolve. This non-invasive approach offers an effective, safe, and refined way to restore a smoother, more even-toned complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ Does vein removal treatment hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a light snap of an elastic band against the skin. The treatment is quick, and any discomfort is typically minimal and very manageable.
+ Can all types of veins be treated with a laser?
Laser vascular treatment is most effective for facial veins, spider veins, and small vessels on the upper body or legs. During your consultation, our Skin Experts will assess whether this treatment is right for you. Larger leg veins may require alternative solutions, such as sclerotherapy.
+ Will the treated veins come back?
Once treated, those specific vessels usually do not return. However, your skin may naturally develop new visible vessels over time. Regular use of a high-quality, medical-grade SPF can help minimize recurrence caused by UV exposure.
+ Who is a good candidate for this treatment?
Many people with spider veins or small vascular lesions are excellent candidates. That said, our team will always consider your overall health, skin condition, and any underlying concerns before recommending this treatment.
+ Is there any downtime after the procedure?
Vascular skin treatment is minimally invasive, and most clients can return to their routine immediately. We do, however, recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive heat exposure for the first couple of weeks to support proper healing and recovery.
+ Is the treatment painful?
Experience minimal discomfort with our vein removal treatment. Feel a gentle warmth or tingling as precise lasers target and eliminate unwanted veins. For added comfort, we offer a topical numbing agent if needed. This powerful procedure not only enhances the appearance of spider and varicose veins but also leaves your legs smoother and healthier.
+ How long does a non-invasive vein therapy session take?
Most sessions are completed within 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. It’s a quick and efficient procedure with no need for extended downtime.
+ How soon can I wear makeup after facial vein treatment?
We highly recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before applying makeup to the treated area after your advanced laser vein solution procedure. This time allows for optimal healing, ensuring that your skin can fully recover without irritation.
+ Are the results permanent?
After undergoing our highly effective vein treatments, you can rest assured that the treated veins are unlikely to return. However, new visible veins can develop over time due to genetics, sun exposure, or natural aging. To maintain clear and even skin, maintenance treatments may be necessary.
