What Is Laser Vein Removal?
Commonly found on the legs and face, spider veins are small, branching blood vessels that are visible through the skin. Caused by many factors, like age and genetics, spider veins can be red, purple, or blue, which makes them difficult to hide. As these veins tend to become more prominent as you get older, it's advisable to seek treatment when they first appear. To decrease the visibility of veins on the face and body, Iteld Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL performs nonsurgical laser vein removal for patients using our office's advanced Alma Veil™ system. At your initial consultation, our team will suggest a personalized plan based on your needs and goals for your laser vein reduction treatment.
How Does Laser Vein Removal Work?
Laser vein treatments are performed in-house at our Chicago, IL office and usually take around 20 – 40 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. For your laser vein session, you will lie comfortably in one of our treatment rooms as the skin is cleaned. Before starting your procedure, we'll apply a local numbing cream to reduce any potential discomfort. The Alma Veil handpiece will be passed across the treatment area so the energy can reach the spider veins through a series of pulses without affecting the skin. The blood vessel will absorb the energy of the laser, which collapses the walls of the veins. You will be able to leave our office right after the treatment to resume your normal day. As a side benefit, Alma Veil treatments also stimulate collagen production, giving your skin a smoother, radiant look over time. Most patients require 4 – 6 sessions to see the full results of their treatment, but your situation may vary. During your initial consultation at Iteld Plastic Surgery, we'll discuss what you can expect throughout the process and how many appointments may be necessary.
