Laser vein treatment is a new and safe way to get rid of spider veins on the legs for most skin types. In this treatment, the laser sends quick bursts of light onto the vein, which makes it slowly disappear.
This method is popular because it doesn't use needles or make any cuts. The technician will use cooling methods during the treatment to ease any discomfort. Each session usually lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. Depending on how severe the spider veins are, you might need between two to five sessions for the best results. You can return to your normal activities right after the treatment. For larger veins (bigger than 3 mm), alternative treatments may be recommended.
At LMC, we prioritize safety, precision, and results. The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus uses dual-wavelength technology with Alexandrite (755nm) and Nd:YAG (1064nm) for effective vein treatment. Its advanced cooling system ensures comfort throughout the procedure.
The procedure does not require a lot of preparation. However, you can take some small steps to make laser vein treatment more effective and successful. It is recommended to avoid sun exposure, aspirin, and smoking for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. On the day of the procedure, it is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing and avoid applying creams, lotions, and moisturizers to the treatment area. A spray tan or artificial tan cannot be treated.
The appearance of redness or swelling of the skin occurs immediately post-treatment and generally lasts a few days post-treatment. There will also be discolouration of the treated area, which generally lasts one to two months post-treatment.
Our laser spider vein removal procedure works best on patients with a variety of skin types, ranging from fair to light brown skin types. In the event that the laser vein treatment is not suitable for you, we can always recommend alternative treatment options.Â
There might be a slight tingling sensation associated with our laser spider vein removal treatment but no anesthetics are required.
It is usually necessary for laser vein patients to undergo between one and four laser vein treatments for optimal results. In terms of treatment time, each laser vein treatment session can last anywhere from 15 and 30 minutes.
Current treatments for varicose veins and spider veins have very high success rates compared to traditional surgical treatments. Over a period of years, however, more abnormal veins may develop as there is no known cures for weak vein valves (which causes spider veins). Wearing graduated compression support stockings may help in reducing the speed/frequency of the development of new spider veins.
Our practice uses the 2022 released GentleMax Pro Plus Laser System to treat spider veins. There is minimal downtime post- laser vein treatment. Patients should ensure the area is protected from sun exposure after laser vein treatment for optimal results.
