what is Laser Vein Removal?
Spider veins, varicose veins, and broken capillaries are caused by genetics, lifestyle factors, and age and can be red, purple, and blue, which makes them difficult to hide. Typically located on the face and upper thighs, spider veins are little blood vessels or broken capillaries that branch and become visible through the skin. Varicose veins are often larger, more noticeable veins that may protrude through the surface of the skin on the legs. Since these unattractive veins usually worsen over the years and become more visibly apparent, it is a good idea to seek treatment when you first notice them. Med Spa at Seena One (Corrective Skin Care)is pleased to offer effective, advanced solutions for reducing the appearance of blood vessels on the body and face. Board-certified physician Dr. Mukhtar Anees and our skilled laser technicians utilize Lumenis M22™ laser technology to perform noninvasive vein removal for Fort Worth and Burleson, TX residents. If you are bothered by the look of varicose veins, we invite you to explore your cosmetic options at our facility. During your private consultation, Dr. Anees will create a customized laser vein treatment to target your areas of concern and help you feel comfortable and confident in your appearance.

can i get laser vein removal?
Laser vein removal sessions at Med Spa at Seena One (Corrective Skin Care)may help reduce the appearance of small to large veins on the body and face. Commonly known as spider veins and varicose veins, these blood vessels are typically not a medical issue. However, many people use a lot of cosmetics to conceal broken capillaries on the face and avoid certain clothes (like swimsuits and shorts) to hide the appearance of spider veins or varicose veins on the legs. Laser vein treatments are often ideal for people who are in generally good health, do not have a history of blood clots or current infections, and are not pregnant.
how does laser vein removal work?
Nonsurgical laser vein reduction with Lumenis M22 technology is completed by Dr. Anees or a laser technician in our Burleson, TX office. The treatment only takes around 10 – 20 minutes to perform, depending on the number of areas being addressed. During your procedure, you will be asked to lie comfortably in one of our treatment rooms as the skin is cleaned and prepared. A thin layer of gel will then be applied to the treatment areas. As the laser is passed over the skin, light energy is emitted in a series of pulses that precisely target spider veins or varicose veins without harming surrounding tissues. The abnormal blood vessels absorb the energy of the laser, which collapses the walls of the veins and reroutes blood flow through surrounding vessels. You will be able to leave our office right after the treatment and resume most normal activities.
how long is recovery from laser vein removal?
After your laser vein reduction session, you may experience bruising, redness, and swelling, but these symptoms should subside within 7 – 10 days. For quicker healing, support or compression garments should be worn to increase your blood circulation. It is important to avoid prolonged sun exposure and use sunscreen on treated skin following your laser vein treatments. While some clients may see visible improvements right away, the results will vary among individuals. In your consultation with Dr. Anees, your potential results will be discussed, as well as recommendations on how many treatments may be ideal to reach your best results. New spider veins will probably form over time so you may wish to undergo future sessions as needed.

How much does laser vein removal cost?
A laser vein removal treatment is priced on the number of veins being treated and sessions required to attain your desired results. At your initial consultation, Dr. Anees will assess the size and location of your veins and create your treatment plan to help estimate your cost. Med Spa at Seena One (Corrective Skin Care)accepts numerous payment methods and offers member specials on procedures, like laser vein removal.
Should I get laser vein removal or sclerotherapy?
Treatment with laser vein removal can help veins of all types and sizes. Depending on your needs and goals, laser treatment may be more beneficial than sclerotherapy. The laser works well on some veins; however, certain types of spider veins might be better addressed with sclerotherapy, which treats the vein by injecting a special solution. Larger veins, such as varicose veins, often respond well to laser vein treatments, but if the vein is too large, surgery might be recommended. Dr. Anees will help you select your ideal treatment choice, depending on your unique needs and goals.
Does the vein go away?
Laser vein treatments target problem veins with a beam of energy that heats up the vessel, causing its walls to collapse and sealing it off. The laser system is very precise and focuses on the target area, avoiding damage to the skin and other surrounding tissues. When the vein has collapsed, it will take about 4 – 6 weeks for the vein to be reabsorbed and disappear.
Where can laser vein removal be used?
Spider veins may be located on the face, thighs, lower legs, and around your ankles. For areas in both the face and body, laser vein removal can be helpful to reduce the appearance of unwanted veins and enhance your self-confidence. Our advanced Lumenis M22 laser allows us to perform this procedure with extreme precision, leaving the nearby tissue and skin unaffected.
Is laser vein removal painful?
Before the procedure, we may place a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Some individuals feel a mild tingling sensation or a sting when the laser focuses on the vein. Most lasers, including ours, are equipped with a built-in safety feature that helps provide a cooling effect. This decreases discomfort while also preventing the laser from becoming too hot, which can result in damage.
Does laser vein removal permanently get rid of spider veins?
Laser vein removal can effectively reduce the appearance of spider veins and in many cases, it can permanently remove them. However, the treatment's effectiveness depends on several factors, including your skin type, vein condition, and lifestyle habits. While the treated veins may disappear, new spider veins can develop in the same area if the underlying cause, such as genetics or lifestyle issues, is not addressed. Regular follow-up treatments might be necessary to maintain the results.
