What causes unwanted veins? Red, blue or purple leg and facial veins can be a result of sun exposure, use of oral contraceptives, hormone therapy, age or genetics.

How does laser treatment work? A cosmetic laser emits a prescribed dose of energy to the vein. The laser “selectively” targets the problem veins while sparing surrounding areas. After treatment, the vessel will naturally disappear.

How many treatments are required? Typically one or two treatments are required and results can be seen in
3 to 4 weeks. Treatment time usually varies between 10 and 30 minutes depending on the size of the area treated.

Does it hurt? The treatment causes only minimal discomfort. Any redness or swelling should be gone within 24 hours and you’ll be able to resume normal activities immediately.

What kind of veins can be treated? We can effectively treat broken capillaries and spider veins with laser vein treatments. We cannot treat varicose veins safely with laser vein treatments.
