Vein treatment

Vein therapies, or vascular laser treatments, are used for correcting the appearance of vein-related discoloration in the skin. Examples of this include port wine stains, spider veins, and rosacea. This treatment uses a specialized laser to break down targeted vessels.

Most people have an unsightly vein or two they wish they could hide that prevents them from feeling as beautiful as they feel on the inside. These include veins, rosacea, broken vessels, and facial spider veins.

Thankfully, you don’t have to live with them or spend valuable time and money covering them up. Laser treatment helps diminish the appearance of particular veins with no incisions, downtime, and minimal discomfort. Similarly, laser treatment can clear away vascular skin imperfections—and revitalize your face without surgery.

What to expect from laser vein treatment

Unlike surgery that can leave scars, laser vein removal uses laser light to constrict blood vessels in the body, causing the veins to disappear visibly. It’s a simple, clinically proven procedure for reducing the appearance of spider veins that gets you back on your feet quickly — and gets you back to your youthful appearance with ease.

Laser vein treatment for veins minimizes the appearance of:

• Veins
• Spider veins
• Reticular veins (bluish-colored)

Rely on laser vein treatment for:

• Excellent results for spider and reticular veins
• Non-invasive vein treatment for veins
• Short procedure time (often less than 30 minutes)
• Minimal side effects and no downtime

Laser vein treatment

• Lasers typically treat small to medium-sized blood vessels (one to three millimeters in diameter) that usually occur in the face.
• During treatment, your eyes will be covered so your corneas and retinas are protected from the laser.
• A handpiece is passed over your skin, and the blood absorbs the laser light, causing the vessels to coagulate and be absorbed by the body.
• There may be some skin reddening, bruising, and blistering, but these side effects subside over several weeks to a few months.
• There is little downtime; however, you must protect the area(s) treated from sun exposure.

Spider Vein Treatments

Spider veins (not to be confused with varicose veins) are dilated or stretched blood vessels that have a branching pattern and are commonly found on the thigh, lower, and occasionally on the face. Spider veins are progressive in nature and usually increase in number and visibility with age. Laser vein treatments are used to erase these vessels from your skin.

When to Consider Spider Vein Treatment

• If you have visible veins that have a branching or web-like pattern
• If you have a pattern of branching veins on your face that you try to conceal
• If you feel that your spider veins are a sign of aging that you would like to eliminate

Usually, more than one laser session is needed. They are scheduled approximately every 6 to 12 weeks, as the doctor prescribes. There is no downtime. Patients can immediately resume work and almost all normal activities.
