What Is Laser Vein Removal?

Laser vein removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure to remove spider veins. As lasers allow Dr. Vandegrift to precisely target the area, the surrounding skin and tissues are left undamaged. During treatment, our laser delivers high-intensity light into the superficial vessels that causes the blood to coagulate, collapsing the vein. Over the next four to six weeks, the treated veins are resorbed into the body and eliminated by the body’s waste system. After healing from your laser vein removal, the appearance of unwanted veins is significantly diminished, and the skin resumes a more natural state.

Depending on the extent of your laser vein removal, you may need to wear compression stockings. While smaller veins are likely to disappear after one treatment, larger spider veins may require multiple treatments to fully resolve. Sessions should be spaced four to six weeks apart.

What Can I Expect During Laser Vein Removal?

For the best results for each patient, Dr. Vandegrift customizes all laser vein removal treatments. However, here are some general steps to expect.

Prior to Your Procedure

In the week before your laser vein removal procedure, Dr. Vandegrift may recommend that you avoid:

  • Strong facial or skin treatments, including exfoliations
  • Sun exposure or tanning

Check-in

Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by our team. We will make sure you are comfortable and answer any last questions. You may receive a topical anesthetic on the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout your laser vein removal treatment.

Laser Vein Removal Procedure

Depending on the number of spider veins being treated, laser vein removal procedures typically take 15 to 30 minutes. During laser vein therapy, the heat generated by the laser may cause some discomfort.

Veins in the leg typically require multiple treatments.

Laser Vein Removal Aftercare

Following your laser vein removal procedure, you may experience redness and tenderness in the treated area. Skin may become discolored, like a dark purple bruising, that may persist for several weeks. As it heals, the discoloration will gradually lighten.

Following your laser vein removal treatment, you should avoid strenuous activities, including exercises, for at least 72 hours, or as directed by Dr. Vandegrift.

How Soon Will I See My Long Island Laser Vein Removal Results?

Laser vein removal results are not immediate. Following your laser vein treatment, the treated vessels beneath the skin will change from dark blue to light red before eventually disappearing within two to six weeks.

While the treated veins will not return, there is no guarantee that new veins may appear in the future. However, thoroughly following Dr. Vandegrift’s post-procedural instructions regarding physical activities, cleansing your skin, and avoiding sun exposure will help ensure optimal results.
