Laser Vein Removal FAQ
The best laser for varicose vein removal depends on the size and location of the veins in the leg. Our board-certified dermatologists use CoolTouch CTEV Endovenous Laser for deeper varicose veins and leg veins, as this advanced technology targets larger vessels beneath the skin’s surface. For comprehensive vein treatment, we often combine laser vein treatment with sclerotherapy to achieve optimal results for leg veins and varicose veins.
A spider vein removal laser targets the hemoglobin in red blood cells within visible veins, causing the vessels to heat up, collapse, and eventually be reabsorbed by your body. Our board-certified dermatologists use specialized lasers for vein treatment, including the Vbeam Prima, Vbeam Perfecta, and 1064 Long Pulsed Nd:YAG lasers, which precisely target spider veins on the face and legs without damaging surrounding skin tissue. Furthermore, most patients see a gradual fading of treated spider veins over several weeks.
Vbeam laser is a pulsed dye laser (PDL) used to treat vascular conditions, including spider veins, broken capillaries, facial redness, rosacea, cherry angiomas, and birthmarks. At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, we offer both Vbeam Prima and Vbeam Perfecta, which use targeted light energy to eliminate visible blood vessels and reduce redness while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected. Vbeam laser treatments typically take 15 minutes or less and include built-in cooling systems for increased comfort during treatment.
Yes, laser treatment can effectively remove leg veins, including both spider veins and smaller varicose veins. Our practice uses multiple laser, light, and energy devices specifically designed to treat leg veins, including CoolTouch CTEV for deeper vessels and vascular lasers for surface veins. Depending on the size and number of veins in the leg, patients may need one to four treatment sessions, and results improve gradually as the body absorbs treated veins over several weeks.
The number of sessions needed for laser vein treatment varies based on the size, number, and location of veins being treated. Some patients see significant improvement after one laser vein treatment session, while others may require between one and four sessions for optimal results. Our board-certified dermatologists evaluate your specific vein concerns during consultation to determine the best treatment plan, and sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart to allow proper healing.
Both laser vein removal and sclerotherapy are effective treatments for leg veins, and the best option depends on your specific vein type and location. Sclerotherapy is often preferred for larger leg veins. It can eliminate over 90% of injected veins in a single session, while laser treatments for varicose vein removal and spider vein removal work better for smaller surface veins and facial vessels that cannot be injected. Our board-certified dermatologists at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology often combine both approaches to achieve the most comprehensive results for leg veins.
After leg vein laser treatment, most patients experience minimal downtime and can resume normal activities immediately, though mild redness or swelling may persist temporarily. For leg vein treatments, you may receive a graduated compression stocking to wear, which helps the treated vessels close properly and improves results. The treated leg veins will gradually fade over several weeks as your body naturally absorbs the collapsed vessels, with optimal improvement typically visible within 6-8 weeks.
Yes, our advanced laser for vein treatment technology can safely and effectively treat veins on all skin types and tones. Cosmetic Laser Dermatology uses multiple specialized devices, including CoolTouch Varia for facial veins, Vbeam for red vessels, and 1064 Long Pulsed Nd:YAG lasers that can be customized for different skin types. Our board-certified dermatologists evaluate your skin type and vein concerns during consultation to select the most appropriate laser, light, and energy devices for your treatment.
