What Is Laser Vein Removal?

Laser vein removal uses the Elite+ 1064nm Nd:YAG laser to non-surgically eliminate spider veins (fine, web-like veins under 1mm) and reticular veins (blue-green veins 1-3mm in diameter). The laser light is selectively absorbed by blood inside the veins, heating them and causing them to shrink, collapse, and eventually fade from view, all without affecting surrounding skin.

At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every laser vein treatment is performed with meticulous precision. A protective gel is applied to the skin, and the Elite+ laser handpiece is moved across the treatment area. The 1064nm wavelength selectively targets hemoglobin in the veins, heating and sealing them shut. Blood naturally reroutes to deeper, healthier veins as the treated vessels fade over the following days to weeks.

How Laser Vein Removal Works

The laser vein removal follows a straightforward, proven protocol:

  • Dr. Avaliani maps and evaluates your spider and reticular veins, identifying sizes from 2mm up to 24mm, to create a targeted treatment plan
  • The Elite+ laser delivers 1064nm Nd:YAG energy directly to each targeted vein through the skin surface, no needles, no incisions
  • The laser energy is absorbed by blood in the vein, heating and sealing the vessel walls shut while a cooling system protects the skin surface
  • Blood naturally reroutes to deeper, healthier veins. Some vessels disappear immediately, while others turn grey or purple and fade within 10-14 days
  • Over 3-5 sessions, veins progressively diminish for smoother, clearer skin free of visible veins

Vein Types & Areas We Treat

  • Leg Spider Veins

    Fine, web-like red or purple veins on the legs that are visible through the skin. These are the most common type of cosmetic vein concern. The Elite+ laser selectively targets and eliminates these veins, restoring clear, smooth-looking legs.

  • Reticular Veins

    Blue-green veins 1-3mm in diameter that often feed spider vein clusters. These deeper feeder veins must be treated for lasting spider vein clearance. The Nd:YAG laser penetrates deep enough to effectively target reticular veins without damaging the skin surface.

  • Facial Veins

    Visible veins on the face, particularly around the nose, cheeks, and chin. These fine red or blue veins can be safely treated with laser technology, restoring an even, clear complexion without scars or downtime.

  • Ankle & Foot Veins

    Spider veins around the ankles and feet that become visible with open shoes and sandals. Laser vein treatment effectively clears these delicate areas, restoring confidence in your appearance from every angle.

  • Chest & Décolletage Veins

    Visible veins on the chest and décolletage area that become noticeable with lower necklines. Laser treatment safely eliminates these veins, allowing you to wear whatever you like with confidence.

  • Hand Veins

    Prominent veins on the backs of the hands that create an aged appearance. Laser treatment can reduce the visibility of small hand veins, while dermal fillers can address larger protruding veins for a more youthful hand appearance.

Our Vein Removal Technologies

Dr. Avaliani offers advanced laser technology for comprehensive vein removal. Here’s what makes her approach exceptional:

  • Elite+™ Nd:YAG Laser

    The gold standard for laser vein removal. The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength selectively targets hemoglobin in veins of all sizes (2-24mm), heating and sealing them shut without affecting surrounding tissue. Treatments take 5-25 minutes with no downtime. Safe for all skin types.

  • Precision Targeting

    The Elite+ system features adjustable spot sizes and built-in skin cooling for precise treatment of veins at every depth. Dr. Avaliani targets both spider veins and their deeper reticular feeder veins for lasting clearance rather than temporary cosmetic improvement.

  • Combination Approach

    For complex vein patterns, Dr. Avaliani may combine Elite+ laser treatment with Asclera sclerotherapy injections. This dual approach addresses both surface spider veins and deeper feeder veins simultaneously for the most comprehensive and lasting vein clearance.

Laser Vein Removal Treatment frequently asked questions

  • What types of veins can be treated?

    The Elite+ laser effectively treats spider veins (fine red or purple veins under 1mm), reticular veins (blue-green veins 1 to 3mm), and larger visible veins up to 24mm. It is most commonly used for leg veins but also treats facial veins, chest veins, hand veins, and ankle veins.

  • How many treatments will I need?

    Most patients achieve excellent results with 3 to 5 treatment sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the size, depth, and density of your veins. Some smaller veins disappear after a single treatment, while more extensive vein patterns require additional sessions.

  • Is laser vein removal painful?

    Most patients describe the sensation as mild warming on the skin. The Elite+ laser includes built-in contact cooling that protects the skin and enhances comfort. Air cooling is also available for additional relief. The procedure is generally very comfortable with no anesthesia needed.

  • Is there any downtime?

    There is no downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately after treatment. No compression garments are required. You may experience mild redness in the treated area that resolves within a few hours. Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for a few days.

  • When will I see results?

    Some vessels disappear immediately during treatment. Others may turn grey or purple and gradually fade over 10 to 14 days. Full results are visible within 4 to 6 weeks as the body absorbs the treated vein tissue. Progressive improvement occurs with each subsequent session.

  • Can treated veins come back?

    Treated veins are permanently eliminated and will not return. However, new spider veins may develop over time due to genetics, hormones, pregnancy, or lifestyle factors. Periodic maintenance treatments can address any new veins as they appear.

  • How is this different from sclerotherapy?

    Laser vein removal uses light energy to heat and seal veins from outside the skin, while sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein. Both are effective, and Dr. Avaliani may recommend combining both for complex vein patterns. Laser is typically preferred for finer veins and facial veins.

  • Is laser vein removal safe for all skin types?

    The Elite+ Nd:YAG laser is safe for all skin types and tones. The 1064nm wavelength targets hemoglobin in veins without affecting melanin in the skin, making it suitable for patients with darker skin tones who may not be candidates for other laser systems.

  • What should I avoid before treatment?

    Avoid sun exposure and self-tanning products for 2 weeks before treatment. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin and fish oil for one week prior to minimize any bruising risk. Dr. Avaliani will provide complete pre-treatment instructions.

  • Can I combine laser vein removal with other treatments?

    Yes. Laser vein removal can be combined with Asclera sclerotherapy for comprehensive vein clearance, or with other aesthetic treatments during the same visit. Dr. Avaliani will create a customized treatment plan based on your vein pattern and overall goals.
