What is Laser Vein Removal?

Laser vein removal uses targeted light energy to heat and collapse unwanted blood vessels. The treated veins are gradually absorbed by the body, leaving clearer, more even skin. It's ideal for spider veins and small superficial veins on both face and legs.

What to Know Before You Go

💡

Pro Tip:

Wear compression stockings after treatment as recommended. This helps optimize results and supports the healing process for leg veins.

⚠️

Insider Note:

Large varicose veins may require sclerotherapy or surgical treatments rather than laser. A proper vascular assessment during consultation determines the best approach for your specific veins.
