Learn More About Laser Vein Removal

Bothersome veins on your legs or other areas fall into two categories. Varicose veins are larger, can range from red to blue in color, and may look raised or bulging. Spider veins are small and, as the name suggests, typically look like webs or branches. These veins are visible because they’ve been damaged and stretched, allowing their pigments to show through the skin.

Vasculaze laser vein removal effectively removes these veins, as well as vascular lesions (abnormal blood vessels that can appear on the skin). It targets the pigments that make them visible, allowing it to leave the skin unaffected. Unlike other methods that require injections or uncomfortable procedures, laser vein removal is completely noninvasive.

Vasculaze uses a powerful cooling tip that keeps you from feeling discomfort during the procedure. Many people find that they don’t even need numbing. The laser uses a wavelength that targets the pigments inside your problem veins but not the ones in your skin.

The treated veins absorb the laser energy, creating heat that causes the vein to collapse. Your body has no trouble adjusting blood flow around the treated area, and the body will remove the collapsed vein over time. At the same time, the cooling tip works to ensure that the skin’s surface doesn’t feel more than warmth.

We may instruct you to take a few precautions prior to your laser vein removal, including:

  • Stop taking some medications, including NSAIDs (aspirin, Ibuprofen)
  • Avoid exposing your skin to the sun or using artificial tanners
  • Stop using certain topical treatments such as retinoids

Most people will need several treatments to clear their problem veins entirely. The most common recommendation is three sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart. Tiny veins may disappear after a single session, while large ones will take longer. 

The treated area may actually look worse before it looks better since the treated pigments will become more visible before they start to fade. Most people start to see improvements after a few weeks. You’ll usually see your final results a month or two after your last session. Your body needs this time to break up and remove the treated pigments. 

Treated varicose or spider veins will not come back. However, you may develop new ones, especially if you have several risk factors, including genetics, obesity, and long periods of sitting or standing. People with varicose veins that keep appearing may need to see a vein specialist.

Your treatment will usually take less than 30 minutes, and you can return to your daily activities immediately. Your skin may look red for up to a few days. While there’s no downtime, your skin needs sun protection for several weeks after treatment. Depending on the treatment area, we may recommend:

  • Avoiding hot baths and hot tubs for a week after treatment
  • Limiting strenuous activities for a few days
  • Avoiding certain medications or supplements

Vein treatment with Vasculaze is safe for all skin types and tones. Individuals interested in this treatment should be in overall good health and have reasonable expectations. It can be used almost anywhere that you have visible veins. We can recommend other treatments like intense pulsed light (IPL) if you’re bothered by other pigmentation issues and uneven skin tone.

You should not have this treatment if you have severe varicose veins with other symptoms or certain medical conditions. You may also not be eligible for treatment if you have had heavy sun exposure or a tan before your session.
