What Is Laser Vein Treatment?

Laser vein treatment is a non-surgical procedure that uses focused light energy to target unwanted veins beneath your skin. The laser delivers controlled heat to the vein, causing it to collapse. Over time, your body naturally absorbs the treated vessel, allowing it to fade from view without damaging surrounding skin.

This treatment is commonly used for small spider veins, broken capillaries, and superficial vascular lesions on the face and legs. Because it does not require injections or incisions, laser vein treatment is considered minimally invasive and typically involves little downtime.

Conditions Treated with Laser Vein Therapy

Laser vein treatment may be used to improve the appearance of:

• Spider veins
• Broken capillaries on your face
• Facial redness caused by visible vessels
• Small vascular lesions
• Veins on your cheeks, nose, chin, legs, chest, and hands

During consultation, Dr. Plush evaluates the size, depth, and location of your veins to determine whether laser treatment is appropriate or another option better suits your needs.

How Laser Vein Treatment Is Performed

The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by hemoglobin within the vein. This energy gently heats the vessel without affecting the surrounding tissue. As blood flow is redirected to healthier veins, the treated vessel gradually fades.

Treatment sessions typically last 15–30 minutes, depending on the number and location of veins. You may notice a mild warmth or quick snapping feeling. Cooling technology is used to improve comfort, and no anesthesia is required.

Benefits of Laser Vein Treatment

Laser vein treatment offers several advantages, including:

• Reduced appearance of spider veins and broken capillaries
• Improved skin tone and clarity
• No incisions or needles
• Minimal downtime
• Gradual, natural-looking results

Because your body clears treated veins over time, improvement continues in the weeks following treatment.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Vein Treatment?

Laser vein treatment is ideal for individuals bothered by small, visible veins who are in generally good health. It is most effective for superficial veins close to your skin’s surface. Larger or deeper veins may require alternative treatment approaches, which Dr. Plush will discuss during your evaluation.

People with certain medical conditions or skin types may not be ideal candidates, making professional assessment essential.

Laser Vein Treatment Recovery, Results, and Aftercare

After treatment, mild redness or swelling may occur and usually resolves within a few hours to a few days. You are typically advised to:

• Avoid excessive sun exposure
• Wear sunscreen on treated areas
• Avoid heat exposure (hot tubs, saunas) temporarily
• Follow post-treatment skincare instructions

Results appear gradually as your body absorbs the treated veins. While many patients see improvement after one session, multiple treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
