What is Laser Vein Removal?
Usually found on the face and legs, spider veins are little blood vessels that branch and become visible through the skin. Caused by factors, like age and genetics, spider veins may be blue, purple, or red, which makes them hard to conceal. Since these veins typically become more visible over time, it is recommended to get help when you first notice them. To minimize the appearance of spider veins, Quad City Medical Aesthetics performs nonsurgical laser vein removal treatments for women and men throughout northern Arizona. At your private consultation, we can create a customized plan to help meet your unique needs and goals.
LASER VEIN REMOVAL faq
How much does laser vein removal cost?
The cost of laser vein removal depends on the number of sessions needed to attain your desired results. At your consult, your technician will assess the number of veins, the size of your veins, and the location of the veins to determine the scope of the treatment process to help establish a cost. Quad City Medical Aesthetics offers multiple payment methods and periodically offers deals on procedures.
Should I get laser vein removal or sclerotherapy?
Laser removal works well on larger veins, such as varicose veins. We will help you determine your best treatment choice, depending on your specific needs and goals.
Does the vein go away?
Laser vein removal treats the vein with a beam of energy that affects the vein and then destroys it. The laser is precise and focuses on the vein so it won't affect the nearby skin. After the vein has collapsed, it takes 4 – 6 weeks for the vein to be reabsorbed by the body and fade away.
Where can laser vein removal be used?
Visible veins can be located on your face, upper thighs, lower legs, and around the ankles. Our advanced laser system uses precision so the nearby tissue and skin are unharmed, making this treatment ideal for the face.
Is laser vein removal painful?
Before your procedure, we usually can apply a local anesthetic to numb the area. Most patients feel a slight tingling sensation or a sting when the laser is aimed at the target. The Harmony XL PRO also has a built-in cooling system to help minimize discomfort.
