Laser Spider Vein Removal

Q: How does laser spider vein removal work?

A: Yag laser has a wavelength of 1064 nanometers.  This wavelength targets hemoglobin or blood.  Each vessel is traced with pulses of laser light.  As the energy is absorbed by the blood in the vessel, heat is created and the vessel wall is destroyed.  The vein will die and the body will clear away the tissue as it would clear away a bruise.  Yag laser requires no anesthetics and no downtime, with very low risk of side effects.  People with all skin colors can be safely treated.

Q: How long will it take for my veins to disappear?

A: Each client’s body will have its own time schedule for how quickly veins will be reabsorbed.  This could range from days to possibly months.

Q: How many treatments will I need?

A: Clients often differ in what they want out of their treatments.  Some want their veins completely gone; others may want them to just look better.  While many clients may need only one treatment to accomplish their goal, others should expect 2 or more treatments for clearing.  Treatments are usually 6 weeks to 6 months apart.

Q: Will my treated veins come back?

A: Once a vein is completed dead and reabsorbed, it should be gone.  However, a person who has already made spider veins may have the tendency to make more in the future.  Any newly developing vein can be quickly treated.
