Although varicose or “spider” veins may not cause significant health problems, many people find them unsightly or distracting. They can also become uncomfortable if they continue to grow.
First and foremost, it is essential to see your primary healthcare provider to make sure your varicose veins aren’t a symptom of something serious. But if the cause is benign or your doctor clears you for treatment, then varicose vein laser light therapy can reduce or eliminate the problem.
Our treatment uses laser light and bipolar radio frequency to target damaged veins and seal them off. With no more blood flow, the vein won’t be as visible. Over time, your body will flush out the unnecessary tissues, leaving you with clearer, younger-looking skin.
Because our treatment is completely non-invasive, there is minimal discomfort compared to other vein-reducing treatments.
Light therapy uses cold heat to target and destroy the vein, so it can cause a sunburn-like effect on the surface of your skin. You may feel slight burning, tingling, or stinging for the first day or two. The treated area may also appear redder or slightly bruised.
Compression and cold packs will relieve these symptoms.
If you experience intense pain or severe or noticeable burning, call your healthcare provider or our office immediately.
Since this is a gentler therapy than other options, you may need more than one treatment. While this therapy does permanently remove the targeted vein, more spider veins may develop in the area.
Please call our office at (817) 581-4354 during regular business hours if you have any questions or concerns.
