About laser vein removal

Downtime

Laser vein removal is a non-surgical procedure that utilizes focused light energy to target and collapse visible veins. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the blood, which causes the blood vessel to seal off and gradually fade away. This technology is especially effective for treating spider veins on the face and facial telangiectasias because it offers the precision needed for delicate skin. It provides a minimally invasive way to reduce redness and eliminate visible vessels, typically requiring little to no downtime.

Don't wait to treat spider veins
Spider veins may worsen over time and become visible. Early treatment helps restore clearer-looking skin and reduces new veins from forming.

Laser vein removal may be right for you if:

You have visible spider veins on the face or legs.
You want to treat facial telangiectasias (fine red lines).
You experience localized leg aching or heaviness.
You prefer a quick, non-surgical office procedure.

Your treatment journey

How laser vein removal works

From first consultation to full recovery, here's exactly what to expect

Consultation & vein mapping

01

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation where our vein specialist maps your veins to identify the exact target areas. This allows our vein specialist to determine whether laser vein removal is tailored specifically to your skin and vascular needs.

30 min consultation
Tip: Bring your insurance card and a list of current medications.

Precision laser treatment

02
During the procedure, focused light energy is directed at the visible veins. This energy is specifically absorbed by the blood's pigment, causing the targeted vessels to safely collapse and seal off without damaging the surrounding skin.
30-60 min procedure

Walk out & resume life

03
Once the veins are sealed, your body naturally reroutes blood flow to deeper, healthier vessels. The treated veins will gradually fade from view as they are absorbed by the body. Since the process is non-invasive, you can resume your normal routine immediately.

Laser vein removal vs. Sclerotherapy for spider veins

Sclerotherapy vs laser vein removal

Choosing the right treatment depends on the location and size of your veins. While laser therapy is effective for small, superficial vessels, we highly recommend sclerotherapy injections for spider veins on the legs due to their superior ability to collapse larger clusters at the source.

Sclerotherapy injections

Sclerotherapy is a highly effective and long-lasting treatment for spider veins. During this minimally invasive procedure, a special solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade away. This treatment not only enhances the appearance of your legs but also provides long-term results, making it a superior option.

Laser vein removal

Laser treatment for spider vein removal is a non-invasive option that uses targeted laser energy to heat and seal off the affected veins. While effective, laser treatment may require multiple sessions for optimal results.

The cost of laser treatment for telangiectasias spider veins can vary based on factors like the extent of the condition and the number of sessions needed. We offer personalized consultations to provide accurate pricing.

Typically, laser treatment for spider veins is considered a cosmetic procedure and may not be covered by insurance. However, it’s best to consult with your insurance provider for specific details.

Laser treatment can significantly reduce the appearance of spider veins and may make them less visible or even disappear. However, complete removal may require multiple sessions.

The number of laser treatments required depends on the size and extent of the spider veins. Some individuals may see improvement after a single session, while others may need multiple treatments for optimal results.

While laser treatment can effectively target existing spider veins, new ones may develop over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and wearing compression stockings, if recommended, can help prevent their recurrence.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during laser treatment for spider veins. The procedure is relatively quick and well-tolerated, and any discomfort typically subsides shortly after the session.
