Laser Vein Removal
What Is Laser Vein Removal?
Typically located on the face and legs, spider veins and reticular veins (small varicose veins) are little blood vessels that branch and become visible through the skin. Caused by age, genetics, and other factors, these veins may be blue, purple, and red, which makes them difficult to mask. Since these unattractive veins typically multiply over the years and become more visible, it's advisable to get help at the first signs. To decrease the look of spider veins and reticular veins on the face and body, The ZO Skin Centre Dallas performs noninvasive laser vein removal for Dallas, TX, women and men using the cutting-edge Cynosure Elite+™ platform. At your private consultation, Dr. Mark Khorsandi or an experienced member of our aesthetic team will suggest a personalized plan to meet your unique needs and goals for your laser vein treatment.
Our Laser Vein Removal Technique
Laser vein treatments with the Cynosure Elite+ system are performed in our Dallas, TX office as an outpatient procedure in about 20 – 40 minutes, based on the number of areas being treated. During your laser vein reduction, you will relax in a reclined position in one of our treatment rooms as the skin is cleansed and prepared. If requested, a topical numbing cream may be applied before the procedure to reduce any discomfort. The handheld laser device is passed across the area so the wavelengths can target the veins through multiple pulses that don't harm the surrounding tissue. The blood vessel(s) absorbs the energy of the laser, which collapses and closes the vessel wall. You will be able to leave our office right after the treatment to resume your normal day.
What to Expect From Laser Vein Removal
After your laser vein removal session, you may experience bruising, swelling, and redness, but these symptoms should subside in about 7 – 10 days. For optimal healing, support or compression garments may be worn to encourage your blood circulation. It's necessary to avoid extended sun exposure, and you are encouraged to apply sunscreen frequently to areas that have been treated. Certain patients may see improvements immediately, but results will vary for each person. During your consultation with Dr. Khorsandi, realistic expectations will be discussed, along with recommendations on how many treatments needed to get your best results. New spider veins will likely appear over time, so follow-up sessions may be needed as needed.
