Facial Vein Therapy

Facial Vein Laser treatments are used to eliminate small, red-to-purple spider veins that appear on the face. Using a special laser hand piece a light is directed on the vein you wish to remove. The blood vessel absorbs the energy emitted from the laser. The laser generates heat which causes coagulation of the blood vessel. The vessel is destroyed and the body eventually reabsorbs it.

Facial Vein Therapy treatments only last a few minutes, but depend on the number of veins you are having done. Dark or purple veins are harder to remove than pink or red ones. They may require multiple treatments.

Discomfort after the Facial Vein Therapy procedure is minimal. Some swelling, redness or (rarely) blistering may occur around the treated areas, and the skin may feel tender for several days. In order to maintain optimal results, it is important to apply sunscreen regularly and avoid prolonged sun exposure. Applying ice to the treated area can help minimize swelling and inflammation.
