Vascular Laser treatment is an advanced, non-invasive solution designed to address and reduce the appearance of spider veins, also known as telangiectasia. These small, dilated blood vessels appear near the surface of the skin, typically on the legs and face, creating a web-like pattern of red, purple, or blue veins. Spider veins can occur due to various factors such as aging, sun exposure, hormonal changes, genetics, or lifestyle habits. While generally harmless, spider veins can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals.

How Vascular Laser Works: Vascular laser treatments use a specialized laser that targets and selectively heats the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. The laser energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood, which helps to coagulate the vein and eliminate it without affecting the surrounding tissue. Over time, the treated veins fade and disappear, leaving the skin smoother and more even in appearance.

The treatment is typically performed in-office and does not require anesthesia. The procedure is relatively quick and is well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort during treatment.

Benefits of Vascular Laser for Spider Veins:

  • Effective Treatment: Vascular laser is a highly effective method for reducing and eliminating the appearance of spider veins, offering significant improvement with minimal downtime.
  • Minimal Discomfort: Most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure, and any side effects, such as redness or swelling, usually resolve within a few hours to a couple of days.
  • No Downtime: Vascular laser treatments are non-invasive, meaning you can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure with minimal recovery time.
  • Precise Targeting: The laser selectively targets the unwanted blood vessels, ensuring that surrounding healthy skin and tissue are unaffected.
  • Long-Lasting Results: With proper aftercare, the results from vascular laser treatment can last for months or even years, depending on the severity of the spider veins and individual factors.

What to Expect During and After Treatment: The procedure itself is typically quick, lasting around 15-30 minutes depending on the size and number of veins being treated. After the laser is applied, you may experience some redness, mild swelling, or bruising in the treated area, but these effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.

Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately following the treatment, though it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days and to wear compression stockings to aid the healing process. Full results are typically seen within a few weeks as the treated veins gradually fade and disappear.
