Facial Vein

Facial veins also called capillaries, spider veins, and blood vessels are easy to treat today. Today's new medical lasers provide safe and effective non-surgical treatment options for the removal of facial veins. The new advanced laser treatments allow the delivery of a precise dosage of energy to each vein. During the treatment, light energy is delivered through a special laser handpiece to the targeted vein in a series of brief pulses. The light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, but not the surrounding tissue.

The heat absorption causes a coagulation of the blood vessel, which is subsequently absorbed by the body.
Most laser therapy patients report little discomfort. Some experience a mild burning sensation when the laser pulses. The number of treatments required varies with the size and depth of each vein. For maximum long-term resolution, multiple treatments may be necessary. Treatments may be in three to four week intervals.
