    What Are Varicose Veins?

    Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins that may cause aching pain or discomfort or lead to more serious health concerns.

    Symptoms or signs of varicose veins include:

    • Veins that appear dark purple or blue
    • Veins that appear twisted and bulging
    • Achy or heavy feeling in the legs
    • Burning, throbbing, muscle cramping, and swelling in the lower legs
    • Pain that worsens after sitting or standing for extended periods of time
    • Itching around one or more of the veins
    • 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.

    Our State-Of-The-Art Equipment

    The Bliss Room practitioners use The Spectrum Laser/IPL System to provide laser vein removal. The Long Pulsed Yag laser uses energy to heat, damage, and destroy abnormal blood vessels.

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

    What to Expect During Laser Vein Removal

    An experienced skincare specialist will cleanse the treatment area and provide the patient with protective eyewear during the procedure. The skincare practitioner will go on to 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 cause the vein to heat up and be destroyed. The damaged blood vessels are carried away by the body’s collecting cells.

    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. Patients may need additional treatments, spaced every four to six weeks, to achieve their desired results.

    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.
