Laser Vein Treatment is an advanced, non-invasive method for diminishing or eliminating spider veins in the legs or face (a.k.a facial veins). Often, a laser vein removal procedure can be thoroughly effective on its own, but in more severe cases with larger blood vessels, the treatment can also be used in tandem with another spider vein removal technique like Sclerotherapy. Laser treatments are much better suited for facial vein removal rather than larger veins such as eliminating varicose veins on the legs.

How Laser Facial Vein Removal works

A typical Laser Vein Treatment is relatively simple, and thanks to continuing technological advances in the field, it's also safer and faster then ever before. During the procedure, a laser light is directed toward the vein cluster of the patients face or other parts of the body, where it targets blood vessels beneath the skin's surface without affecting any surrounding tissue. When the laser finds its way to the unwanted blood vessels, its heat is quickly absorbed by the red portion of the blood, called the hemoglobin. Because these targeted vessels are not essential to the face or body's normal circulation, no harm is done when the blood starts to clot, deteriorating the vessel lining. From this point, the blood vessel essentially fades away as the body reabsorbs it during the subsequent healing process. The final result is smoother, younger looking skin without those embarrassing spider veins. Facial vein removal with laser technology means that there is no chance or permanent scarring.

ELT: The Biggest Breakthrough in Laser Vein Removal Technology

Some clinics also offer a slight variant of Laser Vein Treatment called Endovenous Laser Treatment, or ELT. Endovenous Laser Treatment functions under the same principles of other Laser Removal techniques, but a tiny laser device is actually entered under the skin's surface, making the procedure internal. Unlike IPL based treatments, this laser procedure can actual treat varicose leg veins. This method can help the laser isolate and eliminate varicose veins that may be difficult to treat externally in some cases.

Like most laser treatments, a successful spider or facial vein removal effort will require multiple follow-up appointments, with each procedure rarely lasting longer than 30 minutes. The laser itself can be slightly painful, equivalent to a small rubber band snap on the skin, but most patients report minimal to no pain within a week after the procedure, and they're able to go about their daily routines with no prolonged recovery time.

How Long Does this Procedure Take?

A typical laser vein treatment takes about 30 minutes to perform such as those for facial vein removal; however, the procedure can take longer if you have a large area (such as the legs), or multiple areas to treat.

Laser Vein Removal Side Effects:

The most common side effects of laser vein treatment are temporary redness, bruising or swelling. These effects usually last only a few hours. It's also possible for small amounts of blood to develop under the skin, usually as a result of a blood vessel rupturing, which can lead to temporary pigment changes. This will resolve itself over usually a few weeks to a month.

Length of Laser Vein Removal Results:

Most people notice results after a few treatments, that's why it makes the most sense to purchase laser vein treatments as a package rather than per treatment. You'll only save money in the long run. Laser vein removal treatments can't prevent new veins from forming, or even old veins from coming back, but it can greatly lessen or eliminate the appearance of spider vein, varicose veins, and broken capillaries.

Laser Vein Removal Recovery Time:

There is no recovery time associated with laser vein treatments.

Can Insurance Cover Laser Vein Removal?

Insurance usually does not apply for laser vein treatment

Will I feel pain or discomfort after treatment?

You may feel sore after a laser vein removal treatment, which is normal and only lasts up to a day or so. Although rare and definitely a worse case scenario, it is possible to be burned by laser vein treatments. Make sure you have confidence in your laser vein removal specialist by consultation with at least two different specialists in your area.
