Laser Spider Vein
aser spider vein removal is considered a safe and effective treatment for small spider veins on the face, legs, or any other body part. During laser therapy for spider veins, a focused beam of laser energy is directed to the targeted vein patterns and breaks them up. Over time, the treated blood veins get absorbed by your body and disappear. For the best spider vein treatment in New York City, feel free to consult our leading vein specialist, Dr. Fazylova.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small, red, purple, and blue vessels that are easily visible through the skin. You typically find spider veins on legs and face. Varicose veins are raised, swollen blood vessels that usually develop in the legs can be seen through the skin, and are larger than a spider vein.
What Causes Spider Veins?
Common causes for varicose and spider veins are heredity, occupations that involve a lot of standing, obesity, the hormonal influences of pregnancy, puberty, menopause, and the use of birth control pills.
Varicose Veins
Varicose vein treatment is complex and is usually performed by a vascular surgeon. Spider veins, on the other hand, are not considered a significant health concern; they are aesthetically unpleasant and can be treated with laser vein treatment or sclerotherapy.
How to Get Rid of Spider Veins?
Spider vein treatment could be performed with Sclerotherapy or laser vein removal depending on the size and location of the veins. The blue spider veins located in the lower extremities could be treated with sclerotherapy. The small red spider veins located on the extremities and the face could be treated with a laser by your vein specialist.
What Is Laser Vein Removal?
Laser vein treatment is considered a safe and effective method to remove spider veins on legs, face, or any other part of the body. A focused beam of light from the laser equipment is used to target a pigment in the blood, which heats up the small spider veins and destroys them in the process. The laser beam is very focused and precise, used to target a vessel only, and doesn’t affect surrounding tissues. The treated blood veins are gradually absorbed by the body and disappear in 4 to 6 weeks.
What Does Spider Vein Removal Feel Like?
Laser spider vein removal is usually painless or you might feel a warm sensation and a mild sting as snapping of a rubber band. If you are concerned with the discomfort during laser treatments, please let our vein doctor know so that we may administer topical or local anesthesia to alleviate your pain and discomfort.
Is Spider Vein Treatment Safe For Me?
There are certain contraindications for spider vein therapy that you should be aware of, you need to make sure you notify us if you have them. The laser vein treatment is contraindicated if you are:
- Taking medications that cause photosensitivity
- Have a medical condition causing you to be more photosensitive
- Have viral or bacterial infections
- Pregnant
Before the laser vein removal notify us if you are pregnant or taking medications such as blood thinners, aspirin, Motrin, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, or herbal and dietary supplements. Before a procedure, don’t apply any lotions to the area to be treated. Try to schedule your laser treatment for spider veins before the weekend, and rest for several days after the treatment, avoiding any aerobic activity.
What Happens After The Spider Veins Treatment?
After the laser spider vein removal, the treated veins will gradually be absorbed by your body and disappear over the course of a few weeks. These veins are permanently destroyed and will not reappear again in the same area. However, there is always a chance that new spider veins will develop in other areas.
We also recommend wearing compression stockings for several days after the laser vein treatment. Compression stockings help to keep the walls of the treated veins closed so the body absorbs it faster. If they are not worn as directed, the treated veins will fill back up with blood causing bruising and discoloration.
