Laser Vein Removal
Conveniently located to serve Cupertino, Los Gatos, and Greater Bay Area
Visible facial and leg veins can make skin appear uneven and draw unwanted attention. Laser vein removal treatment at Cupertino Facial Esthetics offers a targeted, non-surgical option to reduce or eliminate those vessels. This non-surgical solution provides a path to clearer, more even-toned skin, enhancing your natural appearance with minimal downtime.
Understanding Laser Vein Removal: What It Is and How It Works
Laser vein removal is a non-surgical treatment that uses concentrated light to reduce visible spider veins and small broken capillaries. It directs a special laser’s light pulses into the unwanted veins. This light gently heats the vein, causing it to close up. Over time, your body naturally breaks down and clears away the closed vein, making it disappear from view.
This precise treatment targets only the problematic veins and leaves the surrounding skin unharmed. It’s often used for veins on the face and legs.
The Advantages of Laser Vein Removal
Opting for a laser vein removal treatment in Cupertino presents several key benefits for individuals looking to address visible veins:
- Non-Invasive: The treatment does not require incisions or injections, making it a comfortable option for many.
- Targeted Treatment: Laser technology targets unwanted veins precisely without harming the surrounding skin.
- Minimal Downtime: Most individuals can resume regular activities shortly after the procedure.
- Improved Skin Appearance: It significantly reduces the visibility of spider veins and small varicose veins, leading to a more uniform skin tone.
- Versatile: Effective for treating veins on various body parts, including the face and legs.
Is Laser Vein Removal Right for You?
Good laser vein removal candidates typically include people who:
- Have small spider veins or superficial broken capillaries
- Have realistic expectations about outcomes
- Are generally in good health and not pregnant
- Do not have active skin infections or uncontrolled medical conditions that affect healing
Patients with darker skin tones, certain medications (for example, blood thinners), or larger varicose veins may require alternative approaches or additional assessment. Ask our team of skincare providers about candidacy for medical laser services if you have specific concerns.
The Laser Vein Removal Process
Our trained providers perform the laser vein removal procedure in a controlled setting. Before treatment begins, the targeted area of your skin will be cleansed. You will wear protective eyewear throughout the session.
A handheld laser device is gently placed against your skin. This device delivers precise pulses of light energy directly to the visible veins. The light is calibrated to be absorbed by the blood within the unwanted vessels.
Most patients describe a sensation similar to a rubber band snap or a warm flick during the laser pulses. This treatment lasts 15 minutes and has no pain or downtime. Treatments are spaced out every four weeks and can be done without preparation or recovery.
Aftercare and Results
Proper laser vein removal aftercare is important for optimal healing and results. For several weeks following your procedure, avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days, and wear protective clothing or hats outdoors.
For the first 24-48 hours, avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise that can increase blood flow and heat to the treated area. If multiple sessions are part of your treatment plan, adhering to the recommended schedule is essential for achieving desired outcomes.
