Laser vein removal may be done to reduce the appearance of varicose or spider veins.

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins that can often be seen beneath the surface of the skin.

Visible signs of varicose veins can include:

Veins that appear dark purple or blue
Veins that appear twisted and bulging
Changes in skin color around a varicose vein

What Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are smaller than varicose veins and are typically found closer to the skin’s surface. They may appear red or blue in color and are typically found on the legs, but can also occur on the face. Spider veins often look like a spider’s web.

Who is a Candidate For Laser Vein Removal?

Laser vein removal may be suitable for patients who:

Are in good physical and emotional health
Have realistic expectations for treatment

Treatment is NOT recommended for patients who:

Have very dark skin and are at increased risk of hypopigmentation
Have tanned their skin within the previous four to six weeks
Have large veins
Have broken skin in the treatment area
Have blood clotting disorders
Have insulin-dependent diabetes
Have a tendency towards keloid scarring
Are pregnant women

Patients should speak to a provider at The Bliss Room to learn more about treatment and find out if they are a candidate for laser vein removal.

Our Laser Equipment

Our providers use The Spectrum Laser/IPL System to provide laser vein removal. The Long Pulsed Yag laser uses energy to heat and damage targeted blood vessels so they may fade over time.

The type of laser used will also depend on the patient’s unique skin condition.

What to Expect During Laser Vein Removal

The provider will cleanse the treatment area and give the patient protective eyewear to wear during the procedure. The provider will then move the laser across the treatment area.

When the laser comes in contact with the skin, it passes through the top layer to the enlarged blood vessels, which absorb the light and heat up. Over time, the body may gradually absorb the treated vessels.

Patients may feel a pinching or snapping sensation that may be eased by an anesthetic cream.

After Treatment

Patients may have redness or swelling immediately after the procedure, lasting a few days. Skin discoloration may also be a natural reaction to treatment, typically disappearing within one or two weeks. Some patients may need additional treatments, typically spaced four to six weeks apart, and results vary.

Potential Risks And Side Effects

Laser vein removal may lead to the following side effects:

Redness
Bruising
Swelling
Sunburn sensation

Rare complications of laser vein removal include scarring, crusting, thinning of the skin, blistering, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, and depression of the skin at the treatment site.
