Spider Vein Treatment
The removal of ugly purple tentacle-shaped blemishes is rarely a medical necessity and can easily be removed through today’s laser technology. Spider vein treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure requiring no general anesthesia and is virtually pain-free.
Laser Procedure for Spider Veins
There are several options for spider vein treatment. Most of them utilize the use of a laser beam. A highly concentrated beam of light passes through the skin sending pulses of energy on the target without causing any damage to surrounding tissue. As the problem area absorbs the light, the vein heats up and shrinks eventually disappearing completely. No incisions or injections are necessary. The treatment can take as little as 20 minutes depending on the severity and size of the affected area. More than one session may be necessary to completely eliminate all spider veins.
Laser Vein Removal Recovery
Patients can expect some mild swelling in the treated area for a few days after the procedure. Compression stockings can aid in a speedier recovery. There may be some minor bruising which will fade continuously for a week or two. Many patients can resume normal activities almost immediately.
Laser Vein Removal Results
Although laser therapy many not correct all imperfections of the problem areas, overall the results will be significant. Veins will fade either significantly or completely, resulting in a more uniform and youthful appearance.
