What to Expect at Your Laser Vein Treatment Appointment
At your laser vein treatment appointment, you can anticipate a personalized and professional experience aimed at addressing visible veins and promoting healthier skin.

Laser Vein Treatment Maintenance Recommendations
In the weeks following the laser vein treatment, you'll observe a gradual reduction in the appearance of treated veins. To maintain the optimal results achieved through laser vein treatment, it is essential to follow specific aftercare recommendations.
- Sun Protection: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly to the treated area to protect against UV damage and minimize the risk of complications.
- Avoiding Heat Exposure: Refrain from hot baths, saunas, or prolonged exposure to heat immediately after the treatment to minimize the risk of irritation.
- Gentle Skincare: Use mild, fragrance-free skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants in the treated area to prevent unnecessary irritation.
- Hydration: Stay well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water daily, contributing to overall skin health and aiding in the healing process.
- Compression Stockings (if recommended): If your dermatology provider suggests it, wear compression stockings as directed to support the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Regular Follow-Up Appointments: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your dermatology provider to assess results, address concerns, and determine if additional sessions are needed.
By incorporating these maintenance recommendations into your routine, you can enhance the longevity of your laser vein treatment results and support the ongoing health and vibrancy of your skin.

Laser Vein Treatment FAQs
Laser vein therapy uses focused light energy to target and heat unwanted blood vessels, causing them to coagulate and be gradually absorbed by the body, leading to the reduction or elimination of visible veins.
Patients may experience a mild snapping or stinging sensation during the procedure, but discomfort is generally minimal and well-tolerated. Topical anesthetics may be applied to enhance comfort.
The number of sessions varies based on the size, number, and type of veins being treated, as well as individual responses. Typically, multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart are recommended for optimal outcomes.
