What Is Laser Vein Removal?
Usually found on the face and upper thighs, spider veins are small, branching blood vessels visible through the skin. Caused by many factors, like genetics and age, spider veins may be blue, red, or purple, which makes them difficult to mask. As these veins usually progress over the years and become more visible, getting treatment at the first signs is advisable. Precision Aesthetics performs noninvasive laser vein removal sessions for Denton, TX men and women to decrease the visibility of veins on the face and body. At your initial consultation, we will suggest a customized plan based on your needs and goals for your laser vein reduction treatment.
Laser Vein Removal FAQ
How much does laser vein removal cost?
Laser vein removal is a treatment that is priced based on how many veins are being treated and the number of sessions that are encouraged to attain ideal outcomes. At your private consultation, a member of our team will evaluate your veins, the size, and where they are located, then create a customized treatment process in order to help establish a cost. Precision Aesthetics accepts multiple payment options and frequently provides deals on procedures, such as laser vein removal.
Should I get laser vein removal or sclerotherapy?
A laser vein removal treatment could address veins of all types and sizes. Depending on your needs, laser treatment may work better than sclerotherapy, depending on your goals. Laser treatments could work great for some veins, but some patients may be better suited for sclerotherapy, which injects a sclerosing liquid directly into the spider vein to treat it. Varicose veins typically work well with laser vein removal, but a surgical procedure might be recommended if the vein is larger. Our team will help you choose your ideal treatment option according to your particular needs and wants.
Does the vein go away?
Laser-based vein removal will focus on the vein with a beam of energy that warms the spider vein and then obliterates it. The laser is meticulous and highly focused on only the selected area so it won't damage the surrounding skin. After the vein has collapsed, it will take 1 – 2 months for it to be reabsorbed by your body and fade away.
Where can laser vein removal be used?
Spider veins are often located on the face, upper legs, lower legs, and around your ankles. Laser vein removal may be a helpful treatment option for areas in both the face and body. Our top-of-the-line laser technology uses precision as it targets the selected vein so that the nearby tissue and skin are generally unaffected.
Is laser vein removal painful?
Prior to the treatment, we often put on a numbing cream to help you remain comfortable. The majority of people report feeling a brief snap or tingling sensation when the laser targets the vein. Many lasers, such as the one used by our practice, come with a built-in fan that produces a cool effect. This decreases discomfort while also preventing the laser from overheating, as this can result in a burn or additional harm to the skin tissue.
