A Common Concern

What Causes Visible Veins?

When a blood vessel is visible under the surface of your skin, it is because the vein is not functioning as nature intended. The tiny valve in the vein that sends the blood back to the heart is failing, allowing blood to wash back into the vessel, where it pools, looking blue or purple under your skin.

Visible veins can be caused by sun exposure, prolonged sitting or standing, aging, chronic venous insufficiency, or poor blood circulation feeding unhealthy veins. With laser vein treatments, the light energy delivered by our world-class laser device collapses the vein, so it cannot transport blood, which is rerouted to a healthy vessel deeper in your body, no longer visible.

A Precise Approach to Visible Veins

What Is Laser Vein Treatment?

Laser vein therapy uses a highly focused beam of light to safely target and shrink unwanted or damaged veins. The laser heat damages the vein, creating scar tissue that causes the vein to collapse. The closed vein is then broken down and reabsorbed by the body.

Blood is naturally rerouted to healthier nearby blood vessels, improving both appearance and circulation. The treatment is most effective on tiny veins like spider veins or smaller varicose veins. We'll assess your visible veins to recommend the best treatment approach.

Laser Therapy, Tailored to You

What is the Laser Vein Procedure Like?

During the laser treatment, your aesthetic specialist will use a laser device to direct laser light at spider veins or other small veins near the skin’s surface. You may feel a mild stinging sensation, but most patients find the procedure very tolerable. Once the laser heat damages the vein walls, it closes and is eventually absorbed by the body. The entire laser session usually lasts under an hour and is performed as an outpatient procedure right here in our office.

Treating the Root Cause

What Concerns Does Laser Vein Therapy Address?

Laser vein therapy is effective for treating a range of superficial vascular conditions, primarily those involving visible or enlarged veins near the surface of the skin. These include:

  • Spider veins (telangiectasias): Small, web-like red, blue, or purple veins commonly seen on the face and legs
  • Reticular veins: Slightly larger blue or green veins that lie just beneath the skin
  • Small varicose veins: Twisted or bulging veins caused by faulty valves, often seen on the lower extremities.
  • Facial veins: Including broken capillaries around the nose or cheeks caused by sun exposure or rosacea
  • Venous lakes: Soft, dark blue-purple lesions often found on the lips or face

While laser therapy is not typically used for larger, deeply rooted varicose veins, it can be a precise, effective solution for many cosmetic and early-stage vascular concerns.

What Are the Benefits of Laser Vein Treatments?

Patients choose laser vein removal for both cosmetic and medical reasons. It can improve the skin’s appearance while also reducing symptoms like heaviness, swelling, or fatigue in the legs.

As a minimally invasive treatment, laser vein treatments offer a faster recovery compared to traditional vein surgery.

Laser treatments are highly targeted, allowing our providers to treat veins without harming surrounding tissue or causing visible scarring. And because laser therapy uses light, not injections or sutures, there’s no need for general anesthesia or lengthy downtime.

Benefits include:

  • No painful sclerotherapy injections
  • Less prone to bruising
  • Fast and effective
  • No downtime

A Modern Solution

Am I a Candidate for Laser Vein Treatment?

You may be a good candidate if you are bothered by the appearance of spider veins, reticular veins, or small varicose veins on the face, legs, or elsewhere. For these types of visible veins, laser therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to vein surgery.

Candidates for vein treatment should be in good overall vascular health with no history of deep vein blood clots. During your consultation, your provider will carefully examine areas of concern and may use duplex ultrasound imaging to evaluate your veins and determine the most effective approach.

Your Path Forward

Your Recovery: What to Expect After Laser Vein Treatments

There is little concern about side effects, but you may notice reddened skin or minor swelling for about 24 hours. You could also experience minor bruising.

You can go back to your usual activities immediately after your treatment, but you should not exercise or engage in vigorous physical activities for 24 hours. You should also avoid hot baths and sun exposure for the first 48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities quickly, with little to no disruption to their routine.

Laser Vein Treatment Results

You may begin to see visible improvements within a few weeks as the closed vein fades and blood flow improves in nearby vessels. In many cases, scar tissue closes the affected vein completely over time, and the body absorbs it. Multiple laser sessions may be recommended depending on the size, depth, and number of veins being treated. With proper post-care, including compression stockings and healthy lifestyle habits, the results of vein treatments are long-lasting.

Laser Vein Treatment FAQs:

During the removal of the unsightly vein, the laser energy is delivered into the visible vein. You may feel a stinging sensation. A topical anesthetic can be applied for greater comfort, although the treatment is reasonably easy to experience. Your comfort is important to us!

Once the vein has been treated, it takes some time for the body to reabsorb the damaged material, and you will see the vein fading, day by day, eventually disappearing.

This treatment is ideal for various types of unsightly veins, facial spider veins, and larger blue leg veins, but it is not appropriate for varicose veins. Facial spider veins, or telangiectasia, often appear around the nose, mouth, or at the temples and can easily be removed with our advanced laser system from Cutera. If you are tired of trying to hide visible veins, consider having them removed with our advanced laser system at Pure Beauty Medical Spa. You’ll love the result!

Surface laser treatments are not typically used to treat larger varicose veins. Prominent varicose veins are typically addressed using vein ligation, vein stripping, vein surgery, or endovenous laser therapy (EVLT). Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) involves inserting a thin laser fiber to direct laser heat inside the affected vein, causing it to collapse and seal. Over time, the body absorbs the closed vein, improving both function and appearance.

Some veins respond to a single laser session, while others may require two or more. Your provider will assess your veins and create a personalized plan.

Side effects from laser treatments are rare but can include mild bruising, skin burns, or temporary nerve damage. These risks are minimized when the treatment is performed by experienced providers using ultrasound guidance.

You may be advised to wear compression stockings and avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours. Your Pure Beauty specialist will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure an optimal outcome and a smooth return to regular activities.

The treated veins are closed permanently. However, if you have underlying poor blood circulation, new veins may appear over time. Ongoing care may be recommended.
