The presence of spider veins or rosacea may not be harmful but can affect your confidence. If you want to banish spider veins on your legs or face, Renew MD can help. We offer laser vein removal to target your problem veins without pain or recovery time.
What is Laser Vein Removal?
Laser vein removal uses targeted laser energy to eliminate spider veins. These veins can develop due to various factors, such as genetics, age, pregnancy, or prolonged standing. Laser vein removal offers a safe, effective, and virtually pain-free alternative to more invasive treatments like sclerotherapy or surgery. The Genesis xeo® laser is one of the most advanced and versatile systems for laser vein removal. It offers a range of customizable settings to cater to individual needs.
How Does Laser Vein Therapy Work?
Laser vein therapy with the Genesis xeo® laser delivers controlled pulses of light energy into the targeted veins. This energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to heat up and collapse. The body then naturally absorbs the damaged veins, eliminating them from the skin’s surface.
The Genesis xeo® laser system has a unique cooling mechanism that minimizes discomfort and protects the surrounding skin from potential heat damage. The laser’s wavelength and pulse duration can be tailored to suit each patient’s specific vein concerns and skin type. This advanced technology ensures optimal results while minimizing the risk of side effects.
What to Expect After Laser Vein Removal
After a laser vein removal session with the Genesis xeo® laser, patients may experience some redness and swelling in the treated area. These side effects are typically mild and subside within a few hours to a few days. The procedure has no downtime, and you can resume your normal activities immediately.
Protecting the treated area from sun exposure is crucial, as the skin may be more sensitive to UV rays following the procedure. You should wear sunscreen and cover the treated area with clothing when spending time outdoors.
Although some patients may notice an immediate improvement in the appearance of their veins, it can take several weeks for the full results to become visible as the body gradually absorbs the damaged veins.
How Many Laser Vein Therapy Treatments Do I Need?
The number of laser vein therapy treatments required varies depending on the severity and size of the targeted veins and your response to the treatment. Most people generally require two to six sessions four to six weeks apart to achieve optimal results. However, some patients may see significant improvement after just one treatment.
