Laser Vein Removal

Are you bothered by the appearance of body or facial spider veins? In the past spider veins could be electrically cauterized during a painful procedure that was prone to scarring. Now laser vein removal is available to treat spider veins quickly and safely with minimal discomfort at Body Beautiful Day Spa Phoenix | Scottsdale!

The spider veins that can be treated with laser can appear as dots, bulges, splotches, or spider shapes, and can appear in a variety of colors ranging from red to purple to brown. They usually appear on the face or legs, but can appear anywhere on the body.

Laser Vein Removal Frequently Asked Questions

What Areas Can Be Treated?
Virtually any area of the body with spider veins can be treated, including on the face such as around the nose and eyes, the mouth, cheeks and chin.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Often only one laser vein removal treatment is sufficient. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. When a vein goes completely away with treatment, it rarely returns. Sometimes the body will reopen a vessel before it is completely reabsorbed, and sometimes vessels only partially respond.

Is Laser Vein Removal Safe?
With the laser treatments, there is some discomfort during the procedure. After the procedure is over, there is no discomfort. However, there may be small pink bumps that resemble mosquito bites that can last a day or two.

Can Laser Vein Removal Be Used on All Skin Types?
The Cutera CoolGlide is one of the only lasers on the market that can treat men and women of all skin types 1 to 5 safely and effectively.

How Does Laser Vein Removal Work?
The laser delivers pulses of light energy to the vein, which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate. This eventually destroys the blood vessel, which is then reabsorbed by your body.

Do Laser Vein Removal Treatments Hurt?
Most people experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the laser hand piece. Although there is usually no local anesthesia or pain medication required, many patients opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.

What Are The Possible Side Effects?
Most people have few if any side effects. Those most commonly noticed side effects are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin that typically last for less than 24 hours. Some people may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur.

When Will I See Results?
Typically the majority of the improvement in the treated veins occurs within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not be apparent for several months.
