Laser Broken Capillary Vein Treatment
Laser vein treatment is a procedure specifically designed to remove veins and broken capillaries most commonly on the face and legs.
What Are The Indications for Laser Vein Treatment?
- Broken Capillaries
- Facial Veins
- Leg Veins
Am I A Candidate for Laser Vein Treatment?
If you have unsightly veins and you want an effective treatment without much down time or systemic side-effects, this may be the right treatment for you.
What Can I Expect From The Procedure?
Laser light is expertly applied to the unwanted veins. The advanced technology preferentially targets the vein. Smaller facial veins generally respond immediately and resolve. The larger veins generally resolve over the course of several days to weeks. We have several lasers tailored to different vein types to obtain the best results. Veins up to 3 mm in size can be treated with this technology.
What Are The Advantages of Laser Vein Treatment?
Laser vein treatment is more appealing to patients because it does not use needles or incisions.
How Long Does It Take?
The procedure can take anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes to complete depending on the area treated.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
Usually 1-5 treatments depending on the area and type of vein treated. Improvement is usually noted even after the first treatment.
Will I Have Pain?
Most patients are essentially pain free during this procedure. We use the latest technology to minimize any discomfort. We also apply our especially formulated highly effective pre-treatment topical anesthetic cream. This is sufficient for most patients. As an additional measure, we use the Zimmer cold air device, which gently blows cold air against the skin, to facilitate comfort. As every person has a different threshold for pain, for those especially sensitive patients, we have developed other protocols to ensure that the treatment is extremely comfortable and tolerable allowing you to fully enjoy the results without pain.
When Can I Go Back To Work Or School?
You can generally be back to your normal activities immediately.
Who Will Perform My Laser Vein Treatment?
All treatments are performed or supervised by skilled board certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons.
What Are My Alternatives?
Sclerotherapy
Can I Be Treated If I Have Dark Skin?
Most skin types and colors can be safely treated with lasers. You may be given a special skin treatment regimen by our office.
Is It FDA Approved?
All lasers used are state of the art and FDA approved.
