Eliminate unwanted spider veins and vascular lesions with laser vein removal at SpaSurgica. Using the advanced Vasculaze by InMode, we treat visible veins on your legs, face, and body. This safe, effective procedure targets vein discoloration, improving your skin’s appearance so you can confidently enjoy smoother, clearer skin.
Overview
Laser vein removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light energy to target and reduce visible veins. The laser emits wavelengths absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood, causing the vein walls to heat up and collapse. Over time, the treated veins are naturally reabsorbed by the body, improving skin appearance. At SpaSurgica, we use the advanced Vasculaze by InMode, which precisely delivers energy to the targeted area without damaging surrounding tissue. This results in reduced redness, minimized discomfort, and effective treatment of spider veins and vascular lesions.
Indications for Laser Vein Removal:
- Visible spider veins on the face, legs, or body
- Small vascular lesions or broken capillaries
- Redness from dilated blood vessels
- Discomfort or itching associated with superficial veins
Procedure Details
During laser vein removal, your provider will begin by cleansing the treatment area. You’ll be given protective eyewear, and a cooling gel may be applied to enhance comfort. Using the Vasculaze device, your practitioner will deliver targeted laser energy to the visible veins. You might feel a slight snapping sensation as the laser pulses, but most patients experience minimal discomfort. The procedure typically takes 15-45 minutes, depending on the area treated. Afterward, you can return to regular activities with little to no downtime.
Recovery & Results
After laser vein removal, you may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, which subsides within a few hours to a few days. You can resume most activities immediately, but it’s recommended to avoid intense sun exposure and wear sunscreen for several weeks.
Results will gradually appear as the treated veins fade over 2 to 6 weeks, with optimal results typically seen after multiple sessions. Your provider will guide you on the number of treatments needed for your specific condition to achieve the best outcome.
Laser Vein Removal FAQs
Does Laser Vein Removal Hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or stinging, similar to a rubber band against the skin. The Vasculaze device used at SpaSurgica incorporates a cooling mechanism, which helps to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
The length of your laser vein removal session depends on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas, such as the face, may take as little as 15 minutes, while larger areas, like the legs, could take up to 45 minutes. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
Is There Any Downtime After the Procedure?
Laser vein removal typically requires little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or swelling, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a few days. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure. However, it’s essential to avoid direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen to the treated areas.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the size and number of veins being treated. Many patients see significant improvement after 1-3 sessions spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.
