What is Vein Removal?

Laser Vein Removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses laser technology to eliminate visible veins on the face or legs. The procedure works by targeting superficial red vascular lesions with a specialized laser. This laser contains the ideal energy that is safely absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to thicken and eventually collapse away. The treated veins are naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system, and blood flow is rerouted through healthier veins. Vein Removal is a safe and effective alternative to surgical procedures, and patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately after their treatment.

What to Expect on the Day of Vein Removal Surgery

On the day of your appointment, we will make your comfort a top priority, which is why we will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to help minimize any discomfort during the procedure. You may also be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser.

Your provider will then use a specialized laser to target and heat the targeted blood vessels. The laser will cause your vessels to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. You may feel a slight warming sensation during the procedure, but it is typically well-tolerated.

Vein Removal Recovery

After your Vein Removal treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling in the treatment area; this typically resolves within a few hours. You will be able to return to your normal activities immediately following the procedure.

We ask that you avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the treated area, as well as avoid strenuous exercise and hot showers for a period of time.

In some cases, the treated veins may initially appear darker before they fade away completely; this is a normal part of the healing process and should not be a cause for concern.
