About Laser Vein Therapy
Conveniently located to serve Salinas and Monterey, CA
Laser vein therapy in Salinas, CA, effectively reduces the appearance of spider veins, facial veins, and broken capillaries. At Salinas Valley Plastic Surgery Associates™, this advanced treatment is performed by our expert Revitalessence™ skincare team under the guidance of board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Matthew L. Romans and Dr. Jeremy Silk.
How Does Laser Vein Therapy Work?
Laser vein removal uses precise light energy to target and treat unnecessary and unsightly veins. A concentrated beam of light, or laser, is administered to heat the veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade as they are absorbed by the body.
Good Candidates for Laser Vein Treatment in Salinas
Ideal laser vein therapy candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations, and are committed to following the recommended post-treatment care. However, this procedure may not be suitable for people with specific medical conditions affecting circulation, those with certain skin sensitivities, or individuals who are pregnant. A consultation with our team will help determine if this treatment is right for you.
What Happens During Laser Vein Therapy?
During the session, the laser device is carefully applied to the treatment areas, delivering targeted energy to the unwanted veins. Patients may feel a warming or tingling sensation, but the process is typically well-tolerated.
Sessions vary in length depending on the extent of treatment, usually lasting between 15 and 60 minutes. To achieve optimal results, follow-up appointments are often necessary.
The Recovery Process
There is virtually no downtime after laser vein therapy, allowing patients to quickly return to their daily activities. Redness may last several days, and proper post-treatment care is essential to ensure the best outcomes.
If your legs are treated, we may recommend wearing compression socks for a few days and staying out of saunas and hot tubs during recovery. As always with any laser treatment, sunblock must be worn.
