Laser Vein Therapy is the ideal solution for individuals suffering from unpleasant spider veins on the face or body. These delicate yet unsightly veins can diminish within weeks of treatment, making your face and legs appear years younger, healthier and more attractive.
Commonly asked Questions
How does laser treatment for facial and leg veins work?
The laser is light energy that travels through the skin to the target which is the blood vessels. The light travels through the surface of the skin and interacts with the blood in the veins and heat is created. This heating effect will coagulate the blood and eventually collapse the vessels which will get reabsorbed by your body. The blood flow will be redirected to the larger vessels deeper in the skin.
What are spider veins?
Spider veins are veins on the surface of the skin that have a spider web-like appearance. They are very small and superficial veins that appear as a red, purple or blue network or web on the leg. The purple and blue veins are easily treated with the laser but the tiny red veins can be a bit stubborn.
What can I expect at my consultation?
Every client is scheduled for a complimentary consultation. At that time a comprehensive health history form is completed and reviewed for any contraindications. You will learn about the how the laser will work for your specific vascular irregularities. We will customize a treatment plan for you along with all of your pricing options. You will be given pre and post treatment instructions so you will be informed about how to care for the treatment area before and after your first treatment.
What types of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, Discover and Care Credit. Care Credit is a payment solution that offers 0% financing for up to 12 months for those who qualify. This credit card is a revolving line of credit that also has longer repayment plans with interest. You can apply at home or in our office and it just takes a few minutes to get approved.
What can I expect my first treatment to be like?
At your first visit, the nurse or doctor will put an ice pack on the treatment site to pre-cool the area and minimize your discomfort. She will apply a cool gel and begin treatment. The laser comes out in timed bursts of energy and easily slides across the skin. You will feel a heat sensation as well as something like an elastic band snapping on your skin. Most people find the sensation is very tolerable. Once the treatment is completed we may apply ice packs for a few minutes and then apply a cream and a sunscreen. .
Before you leave we will review your post treatment instructions with you and schedule your next visit in 4 to 6 weeks depending on the area you had treated.
What will the treated area look like right after treatment?
After your treatment the skin will look pink, feel slightly warm and probably be a bit swollen. This usually subsides within an hour but may take up to 24 hours. The treated blood vessels will appear darker and may appear slightly more obvious before they begin to fade away. This may take a couple of weeks for the legs. These delicate yet unsightly veins can diminish within weeks of treatment, making legs appear years younger, healthier and more attractive.
What does it feel like?
While you are having the treatment done it will feel like a rubber band snapping on the skin along with a heat sensation. For most areas, we will pre and post treat with ice packs to minimize your discomfort.

When will I see results?
Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, you may continue to see improvement over the next few months.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies according to the type and size of the vein. There is typically dramatic improvement with the first treatment. However, additional treatments are usually necessary to achieve the desired result.
Your appointments are conveniently scheduled 4 – 6 weeks apart.
How long will the treatments take?
Most areas are treated in just 20 or 30 minutes. With our convenient hours you can stop by on your lunch break or come in the evening, after work or even on a Saturday.
Are there any special post treatment instructions?
We ask that you try not to expose the treated area to the sun while it is still healing. Sun exposure will increase your chances of having uneven pigmentation or discoloration in the area. If you are going to expose the treated area to the sun, we ask that you wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 25 or greater. If you are treating larger areas we ask that you wait a day before doing any strenuous exercise and to refrain from using any hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms or jacuzzis for 5 days. You can apply makeup as usual but be sure to gently remove it at night. You will receive specific written instructions at the time of your visit.
