Laser Vein Treatment

Effectively tackle those stubborn spider veins, broken capillaries, or other vascular lesions with our tailored light source for vascular conditions. This non-invasive treatment often brings noticeable results almost instantly with minimal downtime.

Get The Fact

Our Laser Vein Treatment targets small facial veins, spider veins, nose veins, angiomas, and hemangiomas. The energy from the laser causes the targeted vein to heat up, which causes the vessel walls to collapse and eventually disappear. The precise tip of the device only impacts the blood vessel and none of the surrounding skin tissue. Results can be noticed instantly, or over 2-4 weeks following treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Does Laser Vein Treatment hurt?

Most people describe the sensation of laser vein treatment as a small elastic band snapping against the skin. Overall, the treatment is quick and quite tolerable.

+ Can Laser Vein Treatment remove all vessels in all parts of the body?

The most commonly treated areas include the face, upper body, and legs. Your veins will be assessed by our Skin Experts and determined whether the laser is the best route. Some larger vessels (particularly on the legs) may require sclerotherapy.

+ Can the veins come back after the Laser Vein Treatment?

The reoccurrence of tiny blood vessels is very unpredictable. The process of aging can always surface new vessels, however protecting your skin from further UV damage with medical-grade SPF, which may cause some vessel formation, can help.

+ Who is a good candidate for laser vein treatment?

Laser vein treatment is suitable for many individuals with varicose veins or spider veins. However, it is best to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if you are a good candidate. Factors such as overall health, the extent of vein damage, and any underlying medical conditions will be taken into consideration.

+ Is there any downtime after laser vein treatment?

Laser vein treatment is minimally invasive, and most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and activities that put excessive strain on the treated area for a few days.

+ Is laser vein treatment painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during laser vein treatment. Before the procedure, a local anesthetic may be used to numb the treatment area, reducing any potential pain. You may feel a slight sensation of warmth or tingling as the laser energy is applied, but it is generally well-tolerated.
