| Laser Vein Removal |
| Laser vein removal is a technologically advanced procedure designed to diminish spider veins using a highly concentrated beam of light energy. The Aesthetic Laser Treatment Center is able to successfully treat a wide range of unsightly vascular lesions, such as fine facial veins, spider veins and vascular birth marks. Laser vein removal is an efficient procedure that is non-invasive, safe, tolerable, and quick. Also, laser vein removal requires minimal maintenance and results can be seen after only one treatment. How it Works (forward to about half way to view vein treatments) Benefits The laser is used to selectively target and destroy the red coloration of the spider veins, which is usually close to the surface of the skin, without damaging the surrounding tissue. The procedure is relatively quick, and no anesthesia is needed. After a treatment, the skin may be noticeably more uniform and natural in appearance. Although there is no way to know for sure which veins will respond, a consultation is required to evaluate your veins. Prior surgery or treatment on your veins could affect the treatment outcome. In some cases, further evaluation may be recommended to determine if there are underlying vascular problems. Areas to be treated Both men and women are good candidates for laser vein removal for areas on the face (i.e. sides of noses, cheeks, chin, etc.) and full legs. Up Close Frequently Asked Questions What does it feel like? Although many patients report little or no discomfort, some may experience a mild stinging sensation only when the laser pulse is delivered. The cold tip on the hand piece helps soothe the skin as the laser is delivered. How long will the treatment take? Treatment time should be 15 to 30 minutes but may vary depending on the number and size of the vessel(s) to be treated. How many treatments will I need? In many cases, significant improvement is realized in as a few as 1 to 3 treatments. In some cases new spider veins may appear therefore, additional treatments may be necessary. Treatments may occur at 4 week intervals. When can I resume normal activities? Although we encourage you to resume normal activities almost immediately, we do ask that you refrain from vigorous exercise and avoid hot tubs for at least 24 hours post treatment. Also avoid direct sun exposure after treatment and if you do go in the sun, protect the treated area with a minimum SPF 30 Sun Block (not sunscreen). What will the laser do to the veins? When treating vascular lesions, the blood temperature at the targeted area is elevated to a level that causes coagulation without damage to the epidermis or surrounding tissue. Because the laser energy is absorbed by melanin in the epidermis, as well as the desired target of hemoglobin, the epidermal-cooling feature integrated in the hand piece is used to reduce the temperature rise in the epidermis. Multiple treatments may be necessary to obtain a satisfactory response for some leg veins. |
