Laser vein reduction is a revolutionary, advanced treatment for Varicose Veins that provides immediate results without needles, incisions, or downtime. It is effective on both red and blue veins found on the face, legs, feet, and other areas of the body. Our wide variety of lasers allows us to safely treat all skin types without burns or blisters. Ideally, it is best to undergo vein treatments during the winter months, as suntans and burns may affect results. We also offer laser treatments for port-wine stains, rosacea, and cherry hemangiomas.
Types of Veins
About Varicose Veins
Veins that are enlarges, and that may appear red, blue, or flesh-colored are called Varicose Veins. Different than spider veins, varicose veins appear to be raised and often look like cords for a device. Not only are Varicose Veins a cosmetic issue, but they can also cause aching pain, throbbing, and discomfort and in some cases, they can cause more serious health problems. Because of this, a doctor should treat varicose veins. At DermaHealth, we can help you determine if you have spider veins or varicose veins, and our laser treatments may help reduce their appearance.
Laser Vein Reduction Treatment
Our laser treatment works by applying heat to the veins, which damages the veins and causes scar tissue to form. The scar tissue then closes the vein; a closed vein loses its source of blood and dies, eventually causing the vein to disappear. Our laser treatment may be done in one or multiple sessions, depending on the size of the area and if the vessels are stacked, as we don’t want to put too much heat in an area at once. However, results are noticeable after the first treatment session. We typically space treatments six to eight weeks apart. As spider and varicose veins develop, future treatments may be necessary. If the veins are on the legs, you may be required to wear compression hose for three to five days post-treatment. Clients who are prone to spider veins may notice recurrence as they age.
