Laser Vein Treatment

Island Plastic Surgery offers Laser Vein Treatment to patients in Mineola, West Islip, Long Island and nearby areas

What is Laser Vein Treatment?

Laser vein treatment is typically used for the treatment of spider veins – those pesky clusters of purple, red and blue veins that can be found on your legs, feet, and elsewhere on the body. Used in conjunction with sclerotherapy, laser vein treatment involves directing a light beam on the veins to seal them off and successfully dissolve them. The wavelength of the laser is targeted to the pigment in the blood, so it will not damage any surrounding tissue.

At Island Plastic Surgery, we have performed countless laser vein treatment procedures for patients across Mineola, West Islip and elsewhere on Long Island. The laser technology is advancing every day, and you can see the results for yourself by browsing through some laser vein treatment before and after pictures. If you're interested in learning more about the procedure, or if you want to discuss average laser vein treatment prices, call our office today to set up a complimentary consultation.

How is Laser Vein Treatment Performed?

Generally, laser vein treatment patients do not receive an anesthetic, but if the individual is concerned about any pain, a topical anesthetic can be applied 20 minutes prior to the procedure. A trained laser vein treatment technician will direct pulses of light energy directly to the spider veins in a sequential fashion, causing a slight tingling sensation. There is a specialized chilled hand piece that cools the skin's surface while the laser beam is penetrating the treatment area. This procedure typically only lasts around 20 minutes, and is performed right in the doctor's office.

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Vein Treatment?

If you are bothered by the unsightly clusters of spider veins on your legs, feet, around your face or elsewhere on the body, you may be a good candidate for laser vein treatment in Mineola, West Islip and Long Island. Laser therapy is primarily used for the treatment of spider veins, so if you're more concerned with varicose veins – larger, more painful veins – you may want to talk to your doctor about other treatment options available.

What are the Typical Results of Laser Vein Treatment?

It typically takes between four and six weeks for the veins to completely disappear following the laser vein treatment. And depending on the size and number of veins in the treatment area, it may take between two and six sessions to achieve optimal results. Once all veins are reabsorbed into the body, you're free to show off your sleek, sexy legs with confidence. The best way to visualize your results is to browse through some before and after pictures of past laser vein treatment patients, who have regained their self-esteem with this simple procedure.

What are Laser Vein Treatment Costs?

Average laser vein treatment costs tend to vary depending on the size and number of treatment areas. We invite all of our patients in Mineola, West Islip and Long Island to set up a complimentary one-on-one consultation with our laser vein treatment specialist to discuss pricing, as well as any other aspect of the treatment you may have concerns about. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is always on hand to help educate and inform patients about their selected procedures.
