Fade Unwanted Veins
With Targeted Energy

Laser vein treatment is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure that uses targeted laser energy to reduce the appearance of unwanted visible veins. The laser selectively heats the blood within the treated vessel, causing it to collapse and gradually be reabsorbed by your body without harming the surrounding skin. This precise approach effectively improves the appearance of spider veins, broken capillaries, and other small superficial veins with little to no downtime.

Laser Vein Treatment Treats:

Spider veins on the face and legs
Broken capillaries and facial telangiectasia
Small superficial veins
Red, blue, and purple visible veins
Diffuse facial redness
Vascular lesions
Cherry angiomas
Rosacea-related visible blood vessels

How Does Laser Vein Treatment Work?

Laser vein treatment works through selective photothermolysis, a process in which a specific wavelength of light is absorbed by hemoglobin, the pigment within your blood. The absorbed energy is converted into heat, causing the blood vessel to coagulate, collapse, and seal shut while preserving the surrounding skin. Over the following weeks, your body naturally breaks down and reabsorbs the treated vessel, leaving your skin clearer and more even-toned.

What Happens During Laser Vein Treatment?

Your provider will cleanse the treatment area and provide protective eyewear before directing laser energy onto the targeted veins. You may feel a snapping sensation as the blood vessels absorb the light. The treated veins begin to collapse while your surrounding skin remains safe. Depending on the size and number of veins, your treatment takes 15 to 45 minutes.

Expected Results From Laser Vein Treatment

You may notice some improvement immediately, but your results continue to develop over the following 4 to 12 weeks as your body reabsorbs the treated veins. Most patients achieve their desired outcome with 1 to 3 sessions, depending on the size and number of veins treated. The targeted veins won’t return, but you can develop new vascular lesions and spider veins over time. Periodic maintenance every 12 to 24 months can help preserve your results.

FAQs

Is There Any Downtime After My Treatment?

Laser vein treatment requires little to no downtime, allowing most patients to return to normal activities immediately. You may notice temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight sensitivity in the treated area for several hours to a few days. Your provider will also recommend temporarily avoiding excessive sun exposure, hot tubs, and strenuous exercise to support optimal healing.

What Side Effects Should I Expect?

Common side effects are generally mild. You may experience redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising around the treated veins. In some cases, the treated blood vessels may temporarily appear darker before gradually fading as your body clears them. Your provider will review your aftercare instructions to help minimize side effects and promote the best possible outcome.

Can Laser Vein Treatment Prevent New Veins From Developing?

Laser vein treatment eliminates the targeted vessels, but it cannot prevent your body from forming new visible veins over time. Genetics, aging, hormonal changes, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors may contribute to future vein issues. Maintaining healthy habits and scheduling occasional maintenance treatments can help keep your skin looking clear.
