What is laser vein removal?

Laser vein removal is the use of laser energy to eliminate visible veins and broken capillaries on the face and the legs. Dr. Johnson uses the most advanced laser tools available. 

The laser energy in laser vein removal targets the pigmented cells in the vein. The energy heats the cells, causing the vein walls to collapse and close. Your body reroutes circulation through healthier veins, and the visible veins slowly disappear over time.

What does laser vein removal treat?

Laser vein removal at Rejuvenation For Her treats varicose veins, spider veins, and broken capillaries.

Varicose veins

Varicose veins are the red, purple, or blue bulging veins that most often appear on the legs. Varicose veins result from damage to the valves or walls of your veins, disrupting the flow of blood and allowing the blood to flow backward and pool.

The pooling blood causes the veins to enlarge to become visible. Laser vein removal at Rejuvenation For Her treats small varicose veins.

Spider veins

Spider veins are tiny web-like veins that appear on the legs or face. These veins also occur when you have damage in the veins that make these tiny blood vessels more visible.

Broken capillaries

Broken capillaries are red, thread-like lines that occur on the nose or cheeks. These visible blood vessels are often seen in people with rosacea, a chronic skin condition that causes facial redness. 

What can I expect during laser vein removal?

Dr. Johnson reviews the details of your laser vein removal at your consultation, so you know what to expect. Most laser vein removal treatments take 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the veins and the treatment area.

While you relax on the procedure chair, Dr. Johnson cleans your skin with an antiseptic agent. She may also apply a numbing lotion to minimize discomfort. Dr. Johnson then places the laser tool on your skin and starts treatment.

What happens after laser vein removal?

There’s no downtime following your laser vein removal at Rejuvenation For Her. However, Dr. Johnson requests you protect your treated skin from the sun with sunscreen or clothing. 

You may see results from your laser vein removal within a few days, with continued improvements over the next six weeks. Dr. Johnson recommends 2-3 sessions to get the best results.
