Book AppointmentWhat Is Laser Vein Treatment?
Abnormal blood vessels create a mesh of red, brown, blue, and purple lines. They usually appear on legs, ankles, and feet, but are common on face, chest, arms, and abdomen as well. Without medical attention, spider and reticular veins multiply. Laser treatment with Cutera® excel V+ resolves these veins quickly, with minimal discomfort and little or no downtime.
What causes visible veins?
Spider and reticular veins are very common, especially after age 50. They occur when faulty valves in veins allow deoxygenated blood to pool, rather than being efficiently returned to the heart. Factors that increase risk of developing visible veins include:
- Genetics.
- Long periods of standing.
- Excess weight.
- Hormonal fluctuations from puberty, pregnancy, menopause, birth control pills, or hormone replacement therapy.
- History of blood clots.
- Constricting clothing.
- Conditions such as constipation that increase abdominal pressure.
How does Laser Vein Treatment work?
Dr. Folake Pepple utilizes proprietary technology for increased patient comfort without adverse reactions. The device delivers a precise dose of low level laser energy. It penetrates skin, targeting superficial blood vessels without harm to surrounding tissues. The laser generates heat that coagulates blood, causing vessels to collapse and seal. Over the course of several weeks, treated veins disappear as the body reroutes blood flow to healthy ones.
How many treatments are required?
With Cutera® excel V+, most skin concerns require only one to two treatment sessions to achieve results. However, the number of treatments will vary based on your condition. Dr. Folake Pepple will discuss a customized treatment plan during your consultation.
