Laser Vein Treatments
While problem veins can show up anywhere on the body, those that appear on the face can be particularly prominent. At Concept Medical, we offer our patients effective treatments for facial veins through the use of advanced technology lasers. These procedures are safe and can be completed quickly, ensuring long-lasting results. Once your laser vein treatment is finished, you are free to return to your normal activities and routine with no downtime. As with all treatments, risks are possible, and results do vary.
Please note that at our clinic, we only treat facial veins as opposed to those appearing on other parts of the body, such as the legs. These conditions are best treated at a vein clinic, as deeper veins tend to contribute to the smaller, visible ones under the skin.
Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Vein Treatments
Laser vein treatments always begin with a detailed assessment by one of our qualified team members to determine if your veins are suitable for laser therapy. During the session, a physician will carefully move a laser over the problematic veins. The laser emits a strong colourless beam that causes the vein to instantly shrink and close off. Laser vein treatments are very tolerable and do not require any freezing or numbing. Most veins will disappear during the laser treatment. However, some veins may take time to fully resolve. Laser vein procedures often take minutes to complete, and you may resume your normal daily activities immediately afterwards without any downtime. As with all treatments, risks are possible, and results vary.
Visible veins on the face often disappear immediately at the time of treatment. Occasionally, some veins require a few days to completely disappear. Some veins require a second treatment approximately one month later and a small number of veins may be resistant to treatment. Some patients observe temporary redness similar to very mild sunburn in the treated area, which usually resolves within a few days.
Laser vein treatment is generally well tolerated, and pain is minimal. You may experience a slight tingling or warm sensation during your session.
Most facial veins will resolve after one treatment. However, a detailed initial consultation will determine the type, size, and number of problem veins as well as realistic outcomes. Please note, we do not treat leg veins.
There’s no downtime after laser vein treatment, allowing you to return to your daily activities once your appointment is finished. In addition, the treatment itself only takes a few minutes, causing minimal overall interruption.
Keep in mind that it’s normal if not all your treated facial veins immediately disappear, as results can require a few days to take effect. During this time, you may experience temporary redness, like a very mild sunburn, which should resolve in 24 to 72 hours.
The results of laser vein treatment are permanent in closing off the existing veins, but it cannot prevent new veins from forming. Should new veins develop in an area where you previously received treatment, we recommend a follow-up appointment.
Additionally, some patients may require multiple treatments to address their initial concerns. This will be determined during your initial consultation with our team.
Patients suitable for laser vein treatments include those with prominently visible facial veins, which may appear on the forehead, cheeks, or chin. During your initial consultation with our team at Concept Medical, we can identify ideal treatment options based on your unique concerns and whether you are a good candidate for this procedure.
Keep in mind that laser vein treatment may require multiple sessions. We can likely determine the best plan of action during your initial consultation.
Please note that some medical conditions as well as certain medication may preclude you from being an appropriate candidate for this treatment.
