Laser vein treatment

Laser vein treatment, also called laser therapy for veins, is a non-invasive vein procedure designed to treat a number of vascular conditions such as broken capillaries, spider veins.

What is Laser Vein Treatment?

Laser vein treatment, also called laser therapy for veins, is a non-invasive vein procedure designed to treat a number of vascular conditions such as broken capillaries, spider veins, and other cosmetic vein issues. Broken capillary treatment utilizes advanced laser technology to target and vaporize unwanted veins without damaging the surrounding skin.

Cosmetic vein treatment with laser works by delivering controlled pulses of laser energy to targeted vascular lesions. The laser light is absorbed by the hemoglobin (the red pigment) in the blood, causing the blood vessels to coagulate and eventually be absorbed by the body. After undergoing minimally-invasive vein treatment, the tiny blood vessels collapse and gradually fade away over time.

Laser Vein Removal Benefits

The biggest benefit of vascular laser treatment has to do with its precision. The focused laser beam allows vein specialists to selectively target affected vascular abnormalities with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. This type of advanced vein therapy effectively resolves most minor vein disorders without too much risk of complications.

Additionally, this non-surgical vein care option has minimal downtime compared to traditional surgical procedures. Instead of visiting the hospital for treatment, laser vein removal requires only a quick visit to the vein clinic, allowing patients to resume their normal activities right away.

Overall, laser vein removal is a safe, convenient and minimally-invasive solution for a wide range of vascular issues. Its minimal downtime and speedy recovery process makes laser therapy for veins the preferred choice for those seeking to maintain their vein health.

What Does Laser Vein Treatment Target?

Broken Capillaries

These are tiny damaged blood vessels near the skin’s surface that appear as red or purplish streaks. They can be caused by a number of reasons, such as sun exposure, aging, trauma, or certain medical conditions. Laser energy selectively targets and destroys these damaged capillaries without harming surrounding tissue.

Spider Veins

Small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, these tiny vascular lesions resemble a spider web or tree branches. They are commonly found on the face and body, most commonly on the legs. Laser therapy for spider veins involves the use of a specific wavelength of light that targets the red pigment, selectively damaging the tiny spider vein walls. The treated area gradually becomes smoother and clearer.

Telangiectasia

Also known as cherry angiomas, these are small, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin that can appear red, purple, or blue. Laser vein therapy for telangiectasia involves using targeted laser energy to selectively heat and destroy these small vascular lesions without damaging surrounding tissue.

ELEGIBILITY Who is a Good Candidate

The ideal candidate for laser vein removal has spider veins, broken capillaries or other minor vascular lesions. They should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results, be non-smokers, and have no active infections or skin conditions in the treatment area. Candidates should also not be pregnant or nursing.
