What is Laser Vein Treatment?
Typically found on the face and upper thighs, spider veins are small, branching blood vessels that are visible underneath the skin. Caused by many factors like age and genetics, spider veins can be red, blue, and purple, which makes them difficult to hide. As these veins typically multiply over time and become more visible, it's important to seek help when you first notice them. To reduce the look of veins on the face and body, Everest Medspa offers nonsurgical laser vein removal sessions with the Vasculaze device. Board-certified internal medicine physician Dr. Xiaobin Li can create a customized plan based on your needs and goals for your laser vein treatment, so schedule a consultation at our offices in Wayne and Havertown, PA.

Our Laser Vein Removal Technique
Nonsurgical laser vein treatments are performed in our Wayne or Havertown, PA offices in about 20 – 40 minutes. A local numbing cream may be applied before the session to reduce discomfort. The laser is passed over the area in order to collapse the wall of the affected vessels. Our advanced laser system can reach the spider veins through a series of pulses without affecting the rest of the body. After your session, you can leave our office and resume your normal day. You may have bruising, redness, and swelling; however, these symptoms should disappear within 1 – 2 weeks. For optimal healing, compression or support garments may be worn to increase blood circulation. New spider veins will probably appear in time, so touch-up procedures may be performed as needed.
Laser Vein Treatment FAQs
Does laser vein treatment hurt?
Most patients report little to no discomfort during their laser vein removal sessions in Wayne or Havertown, PA. This is because our advanced laser system is designed to target spider veins without affecting the surrounding tissues. If you are concerned about pain during treatment, our team can apply a topical numbing cream for added comfort.
Is laser vein treatment permanent?
While laser vein treatment can reduce the appearance of spider veins, it is not considered a permanent solution. New spider veins may appear over time due to genetics or other factors. Dr. Li can offer touch-up treatments as needed to maintain your results. We also suggest maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding prolonged periods of standing or sitting to prevent the formation of new spider veins.
Do I need to prepare for my laser vein treatment?
No special preparation is needed before laser vein treatment at Everest Medspa. However, patients will need to disclose their medical history and any medications they are currently taking during their consultation. This information will help us determine if laser vein treatment is a safe and effective option for your needs.
