About the treatment

At The Laser and Skin Clinic we use Cynosure’s Yag Laser Vein Removal treatment to minimise vascular skin concerns such as facial redness and facial veins also referred to as thread veins, spider veins, broken capillaries on the face and rosacea.

Laser Vein Removal is also highly effective laser treatment for rosacea, venous lake on lip area, poikiloderma on neck area and cherry angiomas on body areas.

How does Laser Vein Removal work?

The Cynosure Yag Laser targets facial veins with energy pulses leaving the surrounding area untouched. The hemoglobin inside the vein absorbs the energy and causes the blood to vaporise and the vein simply collapses. The treated blood vessels will in time disappear naturally as the body dissolves the vein fragments away.

Vascular skin concerns such as facial veins commonly referred to as spider veins, thread veins and broken capillaries are often a result of your genetics, sun exposure and other factors such as rosacea.

Thread vein removal laser treatment is most effective for small to medium size thread veins. The latest advances in Cynosure laser technology have given us a method to quickly and safely treat unsightly broken and dilated blood vessels without bruising or any complications.

The treatment for these broken capillaries is so precise and controlled making it possible to gently eliminate the unwanted vessels with minimal downtime. Results can be seen in as little as one treatment with Cynosure’s Medical Grade Laser Vein Removal treatment.

Whilst facial veins such as thread veins on face, neck and chest are best treated with Laser Vein Removal Yag Laser, thread veins the legs are often best treated by an injection treatment called Sclerotherapy Leg Vein Removal treatment.

Most clients experience mild discomfort. To ease any discomfort cool air is applied to the skin at all times during your laser vein removal treatment. Clients have described the sensation to an elastic band being snapped on the skin.

Over 2-4 weeks post Laser Vein Removal treatment, veins will fade. Each individual case is different and results depend on a variety of factors. Thread veins / spider veins treated do not reappear however new vessels may show up on the surface which can be then treated. However, conditions such as Rosacea can cause new veins to appear at some point in the future making further treatment necessary.
Laser thread vein removal treatment is used to minimise vascular skin concerns on facial and body. Common areas treated include broken capillaries and red veins on the face typically seen on the nose, cheeks and chin.

Laser Vein Removal is also a highly effective laser treatment for rosacea, venous lake on lip area, poikiloderma on neck area and cherry angiomas on body areas. If you are looking for a solution to thread and spider veins on the legs see Sclerotherapy.

Protecting the skin from the sun and free radical damage by using a UVA UVB broad spectrum sunscreen and antioxidant Vitamin C is an important part of helping to prevent new facial veins and spider veins forming. Avoiding hot and cold extremes such as sauna, steam, hot showers is also recommended.
The majority of clients can return to work and normal daily activities on the same day. Generally, we recommend having some time off after treatment to cool the area. Depending on the size and extent of areas being treated recovery may vary to a few hours to a few days.

Veins can appear darker after treatment before the fade over a few days. Following treatment, it is advised to cool the treated area(s) at regular intervals with ice packs.

After effects are usually short term and can include darkening of veins treated, redness, slight swelling, puffiness which can last from a few hours to a few days. Adverse reactions are risks are rare but can occur. Blistering, scarring, indentation is uncommon but can occur. Adhering to your aftercare advice will reduce any potential risks and adverse reactions.
