How soon will I see results after laser vein removal?
Results vary by individual and the type of vein treated. Some patients notice a visible improvement within a week, while others may see gradual fading over several weeks. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal clearance.
Is laser vein removal permanent?
Treated veins are typically gone for good; however, underlying causes—such as genetics or lifestyle factors—can lead to the formation of new veins over time.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a series of quick snaps or a warm pinch. We use cooling technology and topical numbing options to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising for a few days, but most patients resume normal activities right away. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Laser vein removal is safe when performed by experienced professionals. Side effects are rare but may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or slight skin sensitivity. We conduct a thorough consultation to minimize risks and ensure candidacy.
How long does a typical treatment session take?
Most sessions last 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area and number of veins addressed. It’s a quick and convenient procedure with little interruption to your daily routine.
How can I prevent future visible veins?
While you can’t always control genetics, you can minimize risk by:
- Wearing SPF daily
- Avoiding prolonged standing or sitting
- Wearing compression garments when appropriate
- Staying active to support healthy circulation
- Managing hormones with medical guidance when needed
We’ll also recommend post-treatment skincare and habits to support long-term results.
