Frequently Asked Questions
What Can Laser Vein Removal Do For Me?
Laser Vein Removal can improve your appearance and boost self-confidence immeasurably for those embarrassed by unsightly red and blue spider veins.
What Areas Of The Body Can Be Treated?
Laser Vein Removal is pretty much available for anywhere you see a vein and want it removed: your face, nose, neck, chest, arms, neck, shoulders, stomach, thighs, knees, legs, ankles, feet and/or buttocks.
Is Laser Vein Removal Painful?
No. In most cases, patients say the discomfort is minimal or there is no pain at all. For those with ultra-sensitive skin, we apply a topical anesthetic to the area being treated.
How Many Laser Vein Removal Treatments Are Required To See Results?
You’ll usually see a dramatic improvement with the very first treatment. However, the number of treatments depends on the type, size and number of veins being treated. To complete the desired end result, additional treatments are sometimes necessary.
Is Laser Vein Removal Permanent?
New spider veins have a tendency to appear in the same area over and over again. This is due to the fact that our daily activities put stress on certain areas of our body, and spider veins usually develop in those areas. For instance: Sitting every day puts pressure and stress on the side of our thighs. So if we continue to sit all the time after the procedure, we may still continue to get new spider veins.
How Does Laser Vein Removal Work?
The targeted blood vessel absorbs the laser’s beam of light, and is destroyed. Since we use a laser with a deep wavelength, the light is not absorbed by the skin. Therefore, you will not experience ruptures, burns or blisters as with other lasers.
