Visible veins, whether on the face or legs, can affect the way we feel about our skin. Many of our patients come to us looking for a solution to spider veins, broken capillaries, or redness, but they’re often unsure what options exist outside of surgery or painful procedures. The good news is that laser vein therapy offers a noninvasive, effective, and precise way to treat these concerns with minimal discomfort or downtime.
At Hotchandani Laser Vein & Cosmetic Surgery, we use advanced laser technology to help improve skin clarity and tone by targeting visible veins at the source. If you’ve been bothered by spider veins or vascular redness, this might be the treatment you’ve been searching for. This will walk you through how the treatment works, what it treats, and what to expect during your visit.
Understanding How Laser Vein Therapy Works
Think of laser vein therapy as a highly focused light treatment that targets unwanted blood vessels just beneath the surface of your skin. The laser zeroes in on the pigment in the vessels, causing them to collapse and eventually disappear. And all this happens without damaging the surrounding skin.
It’s not magic, but it might feel like it. Most people are surprised by how easy and straightforward the process is. There are no incisions, no needles, and no long recovery period. You can even go back to your normal routine the same day of your treatment.
What Can It Treat?
This treatment does a lot more than just fade spider veins. At Hotchandani Laser Vein & Cosmetic Surgery, we treat a variety of concerns that go far beyond what many people expect, including:
• Spider veins on the face or legs
Spider veins, which appear as small, web-like patterns of red, blue, or purple veins, are often harmless but can be unsightly. Laser therapy targets these veins, causing them to gradually disappear, leaving behind smoother skin.
• Rosacea and chronic facial redness
Rosacea is a condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels on the face, often on the cheeks, nose, and chin. Laser vein therapy can reduce the appearance of these vessels, which control flushing, blushing, and rosacea acne while improving skin tone to offer relief for those struggling with chronic redness.
• Cherry angiomas (red moles)
These small, red moles can appear anywhere on the skin. Laser vein therapy effectively targets the blood in cherry angiomas, eliminating them so that you can enjoy clearer skin.
• Venous lakes (dark blue spots often seen on the lips)
Venous lakes are dark blue or purple lesions that are typically found on the lips or other facial areas. Laser therapy can help fade these lesions by targeting the blood vessels that cause the discoloration, thereby providing a smoother and more even skin tone.
• Red or pink stretch marks that are still in their active stage
Stretch marks in the active (red or pink) stage are caused by the stretching of the skin. Laser vein therapy can stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of these marks by targeting the blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface.
• Surgical scars with redness that haven’t fully faded
Laser vein therapy can also help with surgical scars that still show signs of redness. The laser targets the blood vessels responsible for the redness, helping the scar fade and blend more naturally with your surrounding skin.
• Port Wine Stain birthmarks
Port Wine Stain birthmarks are large, red to purple patches of discolored skin that can affect various parts of the body. Laser therapy can gradually lighten these birthmarks to provide a more even skin tone over time.
Each of these concerns can be treated with laser vein therapy in a way that’s effective and gentle on the skin. The best part? Many people can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, with no downtime.
What Does It Feel Like?
If you’re worried about pain, you’ll be relieved to know that most patients describe the treatment as feeling like a quick snap from a rubber band. It’s tolerable and over quickly. Depending on the size of the treatment area, your appointment may last anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes.
Afterwards, you might notice a little redness or swelling, but that usually fades quickly. Many people fit this treatment into their lunch break and go right back to work or errands afterward. There’s no major downtime, no bandages, and no special care instructions beyond avoiding direct sun exposure for a few days.
When Will You See Results?
Your results depend on what we’re treating and how your skin responds. For some patients, veins may begin to fade within a couple of weeks. Others may need a few sessions to fully reach their goals, especially when treating something like rosacea or port wine stains.
And what’s even better is that once the treated vessels are gone, they’re gone for good. While new veins can develop over time, they’re easy to treat as needed.
