WHAT IS LASER VEIN REMOVAL?
Typically located on the face and upper thighs, spider veins are little branching blood vessels. Caused by many factors, like age and genetics, spider veins may look blue, purple, and red, making them difficult to hide. Since these veins typically multiply over the years and lead to stronger visibility, it is essential to get treatment when you first notice them. AJC Medical performs noninvasive laser vein removal sessions for Raleigh, NC patients to reduce the visibility of blood vessels on the face and body. During your private consultation, our physician will suggest a personalized plan to meet your needs and goals for your laser vein reduction treatment.
Your laser vein removal cost depends on how many veins we address and the number of sessions needed to get your ideal results. During your initial consultation, your technician will evaluate your veins, their size, and the location, then develop your custom treatment plan to estimate the cost. AJC Medical offers numerous payment options and specials.
Treatments with laser vein removal can help veins of all types and sizes. Based on your needs, laser vein removal might work better than sclerotherapy. Laser treatments work great for particular veins; however, certain types of spider veins may get better results from sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy treats the vein by injecting a unique solution. Typically, varicose veins respond well to laser vein treatments, but surgery might be necessary if the vein is large and bulging. Our team will help you select the best treatment option based on your needs and goals.
Laser vein removal treats the vein with a focused energy beam that affects the vein and then destroys it. The laser is precise and highly focused on the target area so it will not affect the nearby skin. Once the vein collapses, it will take around 4 – 6 weeks to be reabsorbed by the body and fade away.
Unwanted spider veins may be found on your face, upper thighs, back of the legs, and around the ankles. For both the face and body, laser vein removal can be a good treatment option. Our advanced laser uses precision to target the selected vein so the tissue and skin around the veins are generally unharmed.
Before your treatment, we can usually apply a local anesthetic to numb the area. Many patients feel a mild snap or tingling sensation during the treatment. Generally, lasers (including ours) have a built-in safety feature that helps produce a cooling effect. This reduces discomfort while preventing the laser from getting too hot, which can cause a burn or additional damage.
