What are spider veins and facial capillaries?
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, resembling a spider web or branches. They commonly occur on the legs, face, and other areas. Facial capillaries, also known as broken capillaries, are tiny blood vessels that become visible on the face, often due to sun damage, aging, or skin conditions. Laser vein treatment is an effective treatment for these concerns.

How does laser vein treatment work?
Laser vein treatment employs a process known as selective photothermolysis. A specific wavelength of laser light is targeted at the hemoglobin within the unwanted veins. This energy is absorbed by the blood, causing thermal damage to the vessel walls while sparing the surrounding tissues. The body’s natural healing response gradually removes the damaged veins, leading to their disappearance over time and leaving behind smoother, clearer skin.

Why do you need multiple laser vein treatment sessions?
Multiple laser vein treatment sessions are often necessary due to several factors. The number of sessions required depends on the severity and extent of the veins and individual response to treatment. Additionally, treating veins in different stages of development and targeting deeper veins may require multiple sessions for optimal and long-lasting results.

Are the results truly permanent?
Laser vein treatment provides long-lasting results, but it doesn’t guarantee permanence. Treated veins typically fade and disappear, never to return again. But new veins may develop over time due to genetics, aging, or lifestyle choices. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following post-treatment care instructions can prolong the results. Periodic touch-up treatments may be recommended if new veins appear.
